Kobe vs Lebron - Who is considered better?

[QUOTE=SouBeachTalents;14508792]Both MUCH better than Kawhi[/QUOTE]


I'd argue peak Kawhi is right there with peak Kobe and I'd almost take Kawhi to start a team if I had the guarantee of good health (which I never would)..

Think about what Kawhi did on that 2019 run - destroyed goat Giannis and goat threesome Curry/Klay/Dray... no suspsension needed.. no comeback needed.. no equal-scoring partner needed (defeated max defensive attention)

Kobe's peak was just a lot longer - 2000-2010

Only injuries to Durant & Klay needed

Klay missing 1 game was offset by the Dray suspension - Kawhi otherwise beat a dominant Klay/Curry (26 & 31 ppg), while Lebron beat an inexperienced, bed-wetting Klay/Curry.

And KD played a quarter (12 points), which won one of the games.

Klay missed a game AND two separate 4th quarters, including the 4th in Game 6 when he was clearly best player on the floor before he got injured.

splitting hairs now

Kawhi's goat win over the goat threesome of Curry/Klay/Dray is confirmed by him teaching Giannis how it's done in the previous round.. True goats have guys that cut their teeth on them.. I guess Lebron has Derozan, lol....

You want to bring up Dray missing one game then brag about Giannis' title run with legitimately every contender facing significant injuries :lol

I brought up dray missing 1 game because you brought up klay missing 1 game

As for Giannis - that's a talent level and performance that Lebron never reached, so not sure why you'd bring him up... A guy MORE powerful and superior to Lebron in pretty much every way (and no, we don't like high APG players/ball-dominators)

He was never a Scottie not with back to back MVP’s. He was maybe like a David Robinson or something like that.

Same thing in 2016 except got someone suspended on purpose. And then they had more injuries after that with Iggy, Bogut, Curry was already hurt.

Most players felt Kobe was better.

No players feel Kawhi's better.

Also Max Kellerman

Kobe also head to head used to destroy Lebron as well and this before Lebron switched teams.
