You go by #s right
You gotta have the context young man
Bron gets most of his points at the line & the lane
Kob skillwise was a better post player, mid-range shooter, FT shooter, better jump shooter period...had Kobe played in the three & layup era, he would have thrived in this era the way Harden is
Kobe is much more sound defensively
Kobe is the better ballhandler
Kobe has more go to moves
Kobe’s footwork is light years ahead
But LBJ is the better passer
LBJ is 3 inches taller, plays a diff position, and weighs 50 more lbs...of course he rebounds better
Kobe was an elite two way player from age 21-34...LBJ from 24-30 (he hasn’t played elite def since returning to Cle)
Young ppl & non-ballplayers favor LBJ...ballplayers that compete favor Kob bc of his elite skill set & competitiveness
LeBron can literally everything Kobe does when he wants.
When comparing a 6'6 SG like Kobe to a 6'8 250 pound SF of course Kobe will have better ball handles and a prettier game.
If Bron wasn't Bron he'll be another Corey Maggette
