Is Kobe a better passer than LeBron?

[hammer2010]

I know everyone keeps talking about LeBron's passing ability and vision. But what about Kobe? I know he's a scorer through and through so he doesn't look to create for his teammates as much but is Kobe actually the better passer? I personally think Kobe is the better passer and has better creativity especially around the basket. LeBron seems to be the whipping bullets cross court or gunning no looks to teammates on cuts type passer.

Kobe is more creative, especially on the break and around the basket after slashing.

What does ISH think?

Lebron turned Chris Bosh into a 6'11'' Mo Williams
Kobe turned Pau Gasol into a champion.

You are just looking at stats. I'm asking who is better in the art of passing. Who is more skilled at passing basically.

Kobe is a more creative passer. He makes some amazing plays, but his court awareness isn't what Lebron's is.

Kobe will draw in a lot of defenders and make a spectacular pass to an open teammate.

Lebron will see a play waiting to happen, and make it happen with the right pass.

That's the difference in their passing abilities. OR actually, passing tendencies. They both do things each other can do, but this is what they tend to do.

Most Kobe's assists are within the triangle. Most of Lebrons are from fastbreaks or pounding at the top of the key waiting for a cutter.

No I'm not Ive seen both of them play for the last decade and Lebron is clearly the better passer

[hammer2010]

I've seen both these guys play live too, 3 times Kobe and twice LeBron. And seeing them in person even, Kobe seemed like the more creative with the ball and the more creative passer. LeBron's good too tho, don't get me wrong. He's somewhat of a unique specimen. I just prefer Kobe's creativity makes him better at the skill of passing. Just wanted to know what ISH thought.

[OmniStrife]

It's hard to tell, both have shown brilliant skill in the passing dept.
But it's quite obvious who's the more willing passer between them.

[donald_trump]
