Kobe is just not a better player than Lebron. That is hard truth.

Kobe is just not a better player than Lebron. That is hard truth.


As a Kobe fan, I sadly have to agree with you :(

Oh well, theres hope that bean can stay ahead of Parker (maybe)

[J Shuttlesworth]

Damn I feel bad for dubeta. His favorite player constantly gets shat on and he still sticks around, and accepts the truth like a man.

I'll take player A though. I think those assist and rebound numbers are worth more than the 6 PPG difference. 6 more assists = at least 12 more collective points, and not to mention he's shooting a higher FG%

[Mr Exlax]

I'm gonna go with A. The gap between the PPG and FG% and then the gap in assists. God damn it's actually worse than I thought. Yeah give me A every time.

[Dr Hawk]

Give me the clearly better player

[ImKobe]

Player B numbers as a starter

27.3 ppg 5.7 rpg 5.1 apg 45,5% FG

Player B averaged 30/6/6 over 3 straight Finals runs
Player B led the most dominant Playoff team EVER in winshares and put up by far the better numbers(32/7/6) when they won 11 straight games in the Playoffs that year.

Also worth nothing that player A had two different teammates win Finals MVPs over him, one of them being 37 years old while A was in his prime :kobe:

Also worth noting that player B has 9 1st team defensive selections (12 total) while player A has 0

Aren't you a Kobe fan? Why do you say ew....why do you even say ew if you are a Lebron stan anyways. Are you some kind of flower fruity kinda guy...?

I actually have no problem with people putting Magic over Kobe. It's not like that is some big disrespect to the Bean. However, it is sad to have an agenda. Realistically, Kobe was not Kobe until about 99. Del Taco coach didn't play him, then played him too much, ran a terrible set, etc. Comparing what a 17 year old kid with no PT and comparing a college developed player with PT and trust is just nonsense.

Should be comparing (11 consecutive playoff seasons):
Kobe's 98 playoffs to 2010 (age 20 to 31, 10 playoffs)
Magic's 79 playoffs to 91 (age 20 to 31, 11 playoffs).

These happen to coincide when they were actually good...so the comparison is spot on.

Kobe:
27.4 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 5.2 apg, 1.5 spg, .7 bpg on 45%, 34%, 82% on 42 mpg
5 championships

vs.

Magic:
19.6 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 12.5 apg, 1.9 spg, .4 bpg on 51%, 24%, 84% on 40 mpg
5 championships
