Not hacked. I don't lie. I think Lebron is definitely a better player than Kobe, but hardly in all facets of the game.

Some aren't even debatable. Like shooting...especially ft shooting and midrange shooting. And footwork...that might be where the biggest difference is.

And while Lebron is the superior overall defensive player...his man to man defense has never been as good as prime Kobe's man to man defense.

I'm getting sick of people acting like Kobe was just some run of the mill player. I heard Rose fans the other day say that prime Kobe would have had no chance to beat the 11 Heat in place of Rose. And that just isn't remotely true...they obviously never saw prime/peak Kobe. He was so much better than Rose on both ends and as a playmaker it's ****ing laughable.

Lebron is not a spectacular or creative playmaker, he simply has the athleticism and size to cheese very simple manuevers over and over again

I would actually agree with most of this, however I do think that Kobe's defense has been overrated in the sense that when he was at his best defensively was when he played with Shaq. I think it's obvious that Shaq's presence was a benefit not only in the sense of allowing him to gamble a lot more with Shaq's presence to cover mistakes (his later front court would provide similar cover) but also allow him to pick and choose when to go all out on defense. A great example is that game with Tmac where TMac was beasting all game but because he had to carry the offensive load wore down in the 4th where Kobe (because he could coast through 3 quarters with the Shaq luxury) was able to turn it on in the 4th and of course Bryant Stans were all going crazy about how he "shut TMac down" in the 4th while not understanding the intricacies of the sport. Bron is a better overall defender, and while he may not be quite the man defender a "focused Kobe" was, he has developed into a very good one (see D Rose). Help and team is no question.

Lebron is not better than Kobe at every facet of the game. However, he is a better player than Kobe at any stage of his career and that's clear to all but the most stubborn dikkriders (or the ignorant).

Also, don't cry for a couple of Rose fans underrating Bryant. That certainly pales in comparison to how overrated he's been throughout the years.

Lebron cant guard 5 positions. Maybe scrub 4s and 5s with no offensive skill but any half decent big will destroy him. He can only guard 3 or 4 positions.

He shut down Blake Griffin earlier this season.

6'8, 260 > 6'10 250

He can guard any position effectively, but if you put him on a quick PG or a strong PF/C he will tire out faster, so it's not in the team's best interest to use him that way for long periods of time. I've yet to see a mismatched player ''exploit'' Lebron's defense . He may not be elite-level when guarding a big, but he certainly does the job well.

I said that Lebron was clearly better overall.

Kobe's defense is clearly worse overall as well, but man to man defense is a different story. That facet of the game goes to Kobe...and quite clearly in my opinion.

Kobe has at times in his career been extremely under-rated and over-rated. But when someone doesn't think he's on another level than 11 Rose...it needs to be corrected...regardless of what has been said in the past.

They would kill him on the boards and just back him down on the other end for an easy 2. And if he fronts them like he did gasol, he will be exhausted before half time.

Don't get me wrong lbj is phenomenal talent and one of the greatests ever to play the game. But he just can't hang at the 5, thats where the real monsters of size and power are at. Just my 2 cents.

We all know how hard it is to shut down the offensive beast that is Dwight Howard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nfgZX92cKg Lebron is truly the most versatile defender ever. Not only can he guard Dwight at times, but Tiago Splitter too!

real talk, Bron basically ended careers of guys like Shaq, Mo Williams, Larry Hughes, and turned Wade into a supporting player

meanwhile Kobe made sure guys like Farmar, Vujacic, Trevor Ariza maximized their talent

Making your teammates better isn't about compiling assists

Shaq was finished and a shell of himself. He wasn't even Shaq. Of course that's LeBron's fault.

Hughes was always hot garbage and Mo Williams literally owes his allstar appearance to LeBron.

Wade has taken less shots but his efficiency has risen. He's playing with other competent players. It happens.

Gasol peaked, statistically, with Memphis. I guess Kobe ruined him. What about? Nash? Clearly Kobe's fault. Howard? Forget about it. Goes from a monster to a laughing stock. Again, Kobe's problem.

Your argument is nonexistent and juvenile.

LOL at anybody who thinks Kobe doesn't make his teammates better. Despite all of the talk of him being a selfish ball hog chucker, his teammates always seem to put up career best numbers playing with him. Pau Gasol still got as many shot attempts as he did in Memphis, not to mention guys like Odom, Bynum, and Ariza. Kobe actually gives the ball to his big men on the block where they want it rather than spamming the pick and roll to pad his assist numbers.

Compared to guys like Malone, Payton etc. Kobe has single-handedly prevented Malone from winning a championship with his legendary chucking. :roll:

He has a point though. Making your teammates better isn't all about assist totals. Shaq had the ability to make people better without dishing out assist.

Mo Williamas & Hughes all had their best year before coming to play with Lebron, Wade was still "Wade" in 2011 an playing at an elite level as well as Lebron, they made it to the finals in which Lebron looked lost trying to play off ball and not being the focal point of the offense.

Lebron absolutely maximizes what you can get out of primarily spot up shooters, Lebrons game creates open looks for shooters, he's great at that. But is less effective when playing with another ball dominant player, since his off ball game isn't as elite as the rest of his game
