Kobe vs Lebron - Who is considered better?

[tpols]

Kobe pretty easily.

LeBron doesn't play a winning style.

Old Duncan, dirk and curry handed him his ass in the playoffs imagine Kobe.

Old Duncan, dirk and curry handed him his ass in the playoffs imagine Kobe.

He's not playing them 1 on 1 though. Curry was on a better team in 2017 and 2018.

If you want to criticize him, Miami should have beaten the old spurs and definitely shouldn't have beaten Dallas. Lebron also choked away game games 4-6 against the warriors in 2015. But I wouldn't hold 2017 and 2018 against him.

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

Yes Duncan was better in 07 for most of the season. I was talking specifically about the finals where Duncan was still really good but Tony was insane that finals.

Almost impossible for Kobe to win a poll because he's so hated here and many other places. Zero objectivity.

Shocking he's leading right now with all the haters.

Kobe had more skill but LeBron is more effective overall due to athleticism and court awareness.

LeBron's body plus Kobe's mentality is the GOAT...

As of now I have them ranked just like Manny98, Kobe at 10 and Bran at 11.

Manny98 and the right call with LeBron at #11.

TS%? LeBron.
Playoff TS%? LeBron
Playoff Buzzer Beaters, winners with 5, 24 seconds left? LeBron
Head to head? LeBron 16-6
Virtually every statistical measure points to LeBron usually by a comfortable margin, but young Kobe had prime Shaq while young LeBron had Ilgauskas so Kobe is better because he picked up those sidekick rings.

[DoctorP]

LA has the most fans in the world, including the billions in the Asian market. Popularity for Kobe and the Lakers will always distort opinion on message boards, etc.

I can see a time where people will believe Kobe was better than Jordan off pure psychological dissonance. Of course, they would be wrong.

[sportjames23]

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

Sounds about right.

[CeltsGarlic]

I hate how every thread derails to become about Duncan

[Session]

Kobe has been better defender, better scorer and has won more rings in the same franchise

[red1]

just voted lebron thanks.

[Manny98]

LeBron is the GOAT

I have Kobe 11th

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.

Honest question, why? Chances are LeBron is going to leave your team after a short period of time, so why would you pick him?
