Pluses for Kobe - Beat Dwight with HCA and has beaten Duncan a few times.
Negatives for Kobe - Lost to Detroit with HCA and got swept by Dirk
Pluses for Lebron - He joined Wade, Kyrie and now Anthony Davis and beat an old 37+ year old Duncan
Negatives for Lebron - Won bronze medal twice, Lost to 38 year old Duncan and 2nd year Kawhi in massive beating. Got outplayed by Jason Terry, and lost to Dwight Howard in a series.
So who is considered better?
LeBron. It's really not close either. You would start a franchise with LeBron over Kobe every single day of the week. Especially if the rest of your roster was unknown and you had to make playoff basketball.
Kobe has more sidekick rings which makes sense since LeBron was never a sidekick. LeBron tops Kobe in everything else.
Lebron for years now, before Kobe's prime even ended.
Lebron is consensus top 3. Kobe is just outside the top 10. Not even a comparison.
Both better than Duncan

To be quite honest with everyone here I have Kobe 10th and Bran 11th.

Duncan has more rings than either with the same franchise as the man. All of which having to win 4 series a year.
Kobe got outplayed by JET that same playoff season bro
16-6

Bran was a sidekick and he failed miserably.
He wasn't even a top two scorer on his team in the finals in his prime.
So you're right, he wasn't a sidekick in a way...
He was third fiddle.
Bron is the better 'player'
Kobe is the more 'skilled'
There are differences and it doesn't have to do with stats or accomplishments.
As to who I'd take completely depends on the team's needs and team's personnel.

How? Duncan wasn't "the man" in 07 or 14. He has three as the man just like lebron

Duncan was EASILY the Spurs best player in '07 and unquestionably better than Parker, it's honestly not even remotely close. A 4 game sample size against one of the worst Finals teams of all time doesn't change that. He'd also have a strong argument in 2014 as well
