Another day, another legend that recognizes Kobe over Lebron. Nothing new.:confusedshrug:

Cool ESPN interview bro.

Yes, I will take a 14 year old teen from Alabama who watches child porn cartoon's opinion over one of the game's most top players in history. Ok.

[QUOTE=Jameerthefear]too bad he's not.[/QUOTE]
:eek: What? Lol

People actually believe prime LBJ is better than prime mamba?

This is why when people make the argument that fans cant disagree with players I :facepalm.

Oscar Robertson said Lebron is as good if not better than Michael Jordan.

a lot do. what do people even consider peak kobe? '06? i could argue multiple years of lbj over kobe's peak.

Aren't you some Asian kid that thinks Kobe is the GOAT?

OK, I will say prime Kobe is better than prime Lebron.

But who would I take? I'd still take prime Lebron.

LeBron is more willing to use his BBall IQ. He doesn't put up a bunch of crazy shots no one should be taking based on irrational confidence. LeBron will pass to the open man out of a double team, Kobe probably won't.

Defensively, I give it to prime Kobe. Will and determination to shut down the other player, hands down.

Talent alone is Kobe. But the full package is LeBron.

I'm 30 and if Kobe is a better all round player than Lebron in his prime than I'm jesus ****ing christ. What a load of shit. Dominique isn't even a guy known for his "all around game", so why is he even talking about this? Is Karl Malone going to come around now and talk about the pg's of today? How they suck compared to John Stockton?

Ad hominem. look it up

Yes I do, I'd love to your arguments on how LBJ has MULTIPLE better seasons than than Kobe's 05-06 or 06-07.

And with kobe it's more about the fear he gave other teams when he stepped on the court, if it's a big game everyone always thought to themselves "damn this ni99a kobe is going for 50 tonight" , with lebron I still see a guy who might choke it all away in the 4th.

Does LBJ even have a 60 point game in his career? Kobe has FIVE, more dominant.

OP's reading comprehension fails yet again.

Nique said that during Kobe's prime, he was better all around than LeBron was at that same time. Not that Kobe's prime was better than LeBron's prime, as evidenced by him then saying LeBron took over that title when he entered his prime.

This is why you should have went to school. He said Kobe at his prime was the better all around, but now Kobe's past his prime and naturally Lebron has taken over as he's in his prime.

A better all-around player? Nah. Kobe has always been a better scorer, though - and in his prime, a better man defender.

yes, you literally just repeated what I said from the other viewpoint.

Newsflash, Kobe and LeBron's primes didn't overlap. Kobe during his prime was better than LeBron at the time and LeBron in his prime is better than Kobe of the same time. Wow, what a revelation. :hammerhead:

The problem is that you are trying to dishonestly pass it off as him saying prime Kobe was better than prime LeBron.

better man defender, yeah, but LBJ is the much better overall defender.

Pretty much. Not surprised OP can't read.

[QUOTE=Jameerthefear]better man defender, yeah, but LBJ is the much better overall defender.[/QUOTE]

Agreed.

Another thread where OP is a faqqit?

I am shocked:eek: :eek:

The joke is that there is literally no argument.

when did domnique wilkins become a legend?

In your opinion who is the better all around player, Lebron James or Kobe Bryant? Also who would you have rather played with between the two?
Dominique Wilkins (12:12 PM)

They are very similar. Kobe in his prime was probably the better all around player"

That's all you need to know. If it was Lebron he simply would have answered, Lebron, no? Why would he need to say Kobe was better in his prime if he wanted to say Lebron anyways? It doesn't make sense. Use your head, dumbersix.

OP getting destroyed by everyone in the thread yet again?

That's like 5 times today already.

Oscar has an agenda, doe. He's always hated on MJ.

[QUOTE=asdf1990]when did domnique wilkins become a legend?[/QUOTE]


You can't be serious. :facepalm

Both are tremendous players.
Nique didn't give a true answer.

Kobe was the better all-around player but LeBron took the title of better all-around player?

Prime to prime comparison, they"ll likely equally as good but Kobe will wow you more. And they will dominate in a different way. Kobe's domination is more noticeable as he rips your heart out hitting jumpshot after jumpshot, scoring 50 easily if he has to......while LeBron's domination is perhaps more impactful but less noticeable.

Can't go wrong with either. Guys like those 2, Jordan, Magic, Bird....IMO, their level of play in their prime was just so good you can't pick one surely over the other. I would also mention T Mac here as ridiculous as it may sound, he wasn't quite at that level but he was close. Only for one year though. Unfortunately only talent wise he was at that level, he was still young so his basketball smarts and impact still didn't catch up to his talent at that time...whereas guys like Kobe and LeBron had both the physical and mental prime at the same time.

So your insult is because he's Asian? :facepalm

[QUOTE=NBASTATMAN]THIS:rockon:[/QUOTE]

No he's saying that while Kobe was in his prime he was a better overall player, but now that Kobes prime is over, Lebron is the better overall player

[QUOTE=TheMarkMadsen]No he's saying that while Kobe was in his prime he was a better overall player, but now that Kobes prime is over, Lebron is the better overall player[/QUOTE]

What he said was ambiguous. You can spin it however way your agenda feels necessary. Not you personally, but in general.

The funny thing is, Lebron has been better than Kobe since 05

On the lebrons prime thing, he obviously wasn't in his prime, but in 04/05 his second season, he avged 27/7/7 with 2 steals a game on 47/35 shooting. Kobe avged 27/6/6 with 1 steal a game on 43/34 shooting. There is a legitimate argument to be made that at no time in his career was Kobe ever the best player in the game.

"They are very similar. Kobe in his prime was probably the better all around player, but LeBron has taken over that title."

Seems like to me he is saying that when Kobe was in his prime, he was the better all around player which is obvious because Lebron was not in his prime yet. Then he's saying now Lebron is the better overall player because he is in HIS prime which is obvious because Kobe is not in his prime anymore. So at the end of the day, it sounds like he's just using common sense...
