No doubt this post stirs a debate...too many variables to conclude rangerz. The fact that there's a comparison verifies that they're both in the conversation...

Rangerz your a sharp dude, but lets not get carried away....kobe absolutely dominated a much much tougher west.....bron has been playing fugazzi competition his entire career with these east coast weaklings. Lets not forget he couldn't even win his last year in Mia with 3 Hall of famers on the team...lets keep it real man....there is a reason that NBA greats like Phil and Jerry West and others including Garnett have said that Kobe is the best since Jordan period. You will see when the Cavs get crushed by the Dubs and Brons people will blame everyone on the team including Batt. And Kobe has 5 rings..lol

Kobe had the lakeshow backing him his whole career. If I'm building a championship contender I would build around LeBron than Kobe and I loathe LeQueen

If I had to pick either one in their prime to start a team... I would take lbj easily, not even think twice and I'm not a cavs or lbj fan at all. This is coming from a Celtics fan so I dislike both of those guys lol.

bump this thread after cle loses in the finals.... making lbj 2/6 there. the east is a completely different league than the west. you face the likes of teams like boston/milwaukee/raptors, then on to chicago/washington/ only to face the top team atl? come on.
now imagine playing spurs/clippers/houston/memphis.

Shaq killed it for Kobe's first 3 rings. Shaq was the catalyst and a beast. Plus, don't forget the Sacramento theft in Game 7 in 2002. The Lakers should have lost.
Also, Kobe failed miserably with Shaq, Karl Malone and Gary Payton in 2004----people always forget that abomination.
right..but we should forget that lbj had wade and bosh in his prime.. and were huge favourites to dallas, and lost? not only did they lose.. they lost because of lebron.... avging 1pt per game in the 4th quarter of the series..

Let's not discount Timmy D, best power forward of all time here... He also makes his teamates better and is a team first type of player. He's more loyal to his team/fans/organization than either of those two guys, he has 5 rings, never causes drama etcetc.

There is literally nothing in the game of basketball that kobe is better at.....literally nothing
i believe he is a better shooter from long range but thats about it....well,he cud get hotter from distance in streaks but im not sure their overall % numbers from 3 pt land are markedly different
