One Big debate is over for sure.

[beastee]

Lebron is undoubtedly better than Kobe. Top 10 locked for everyone. No way to dispute that.

Without overreacting, he is in the 5-7 range now. One more title puts him top 3-5 for sure.

I am impressed he finally stepped up and became the man. Congrats to him for that, and Cleveland deserves all the praise they get tonight.

:cheers:

3 FMVP

Goddamn

Lebron was ahead of Kobe without a third title anyway, this one just nailed the final coffin.

Agreed. But on this board it just needs to be reiterated.

[Bernkastel]

It's inarguable now. LeBron is higher on the all-time list.

Kobe is great. LeBron is just a bit greater.

[Velocirap31]

It was a matter of opinion before, but now it's just right and wrong.

[Spurs m8]

Remember those Curry > LeBron talks.

Yeah.....LOL

All the stupid comparisons people made this season were always gonna catch up at some point....

[Kiddlovesnets]

Agreed. But on this board it just needs to be reiterated.

To Kobestans it wont matter however many times you reiterate, they will always pull the 5 > 2(or 5 > 3) argument.

Career wise no doubt now. It's 3FMVPs & 4 MVPs vs 2FMVPs & 1 MVP. And he is still in prime years.

Talent wise he surpassed Kobe in his 2nd or 3rd year..Even Jerry "Mr.Lakers" West said it back in the day.

He has been whole another level than Kobe. He is like Shaq if he had more interest for basketball. Game changer.

I don't even like Lebron but it's ridicilous statement to think Kobe is better than him. He has some better skills but whole package Lebron is another level and now he has accomplishments better than Kobe.

I still can't get over the block!! Holy ***!

[SexSymbol]

Kobe has had a better career against MUCH tougher competition overall.
Also was a better scorer and a better defender.
5>3

No, he needed this win to go ahead of Kobe.

[CAstill]

Kobe still better. He impacted 5 teams to win rings and LeBron only 3. Same amount of finals too.

Lololololololololol. This. It never was a debate. One is fringe top 11-12; the other is probably top 3.

A lot of Kobe/curry fam need the reminder.

I do think this championship gives him a legit top 5 all-time argument. I'm not a big fan of "Top 10 All-Time" and "Top 5 All-Time" lists anymore, but I'm not sure there's been five players better than LeBron in NBA history. I mean I personally would still rank Jordan, Russell, and Kareem ahead of Jordan, and I still think Bird, Magic, Shaq, and Duncan have a legit argument over LeBron; although, LeBron now, certainly, has an argument over all of them, too.

[HoopSuperstar]

Will the real MVP please stand up!

[Magic 32]

I guess this should demotivate Lebron stans of their constant hate on one of the greatest players in NBA history......

...but when they make 10+ threads 5 minutes after Lebron wins a championship......I doubt it.

I feel same :cheers:

Only except Russell. But Lebron is another level compared to Kobe.

[Mr. Jabbar]
