Bron fans seriously live in some alternate reality

Lebron at any point is better than Kobe at any point

Pointless thread

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

if Shaq wasnt on the team Kobe would've been out here averaging 35+ at 22

on sub 40% shooting while missing the playoffs

Tough call, Kobe was in a restricted offense with a prime Shaq clogging the middle. Lebron had free reign with no one clogging the middle. Kobe.

Lol at saying Shaq was "clogging the middle" like he wasn't Erik Dampier out there

Prolly 01 kobe but

09 bron >>>> any kobe and 09 not even his best season

You bringing up theorems and equations with percentage quotiens like a fukkin dweeb when this isn't a difficult question to answer. IF you saw them both play at that age then you know Kobe was the better individual player period.

Better individual player than Lebron? Lmao nah.

Lebron drug a team of bums to the finals when he was 22. Kobe had Shaq requiring triple teams, putting teams into foul trouble, and consistently dominating so Kobe could go one on one with his opponents.

Put Kobe on Lebron's 22 year old Kobe with 22 year old Lebron's Cavs and they probably don't reach the finals. Kobe doesn't generate easy looks for his teammates like Bron Bron

Its close af but id prolly give 01,03, n 08 kobe the edge over the pre 09 LeBron years LBJ ain't really become the real lbj until 09 to me but its close

regardless of the year Kobe was always better than LeBron.

Even the most die hard kobe Stan has to admit that Bronx first 4 years were better than kobes it's not even a comparison

 

[DIMES]

Was he the focal point of the Lakers offense at that point like LeBron was in Cleveland? LeBron had the luxury of not having to share the rock whereas Kobe had to get it how he lived. We saw what happened when Kobe really had the ball in his hands he set numbers only Wilt and Jordan were capable of.

Kobe took more shots than Shaq... 22 a game. He didn't share shyt

 

[Supreme365]

I guess we're going to fail to acknowledge he was sharing touches with Shaq huh? You bron peasants ain't shyt with these stats.

You'll say that but then champion kobe for that 3peat you can't have it both ways if you take away shaq kobe puts up slightly better scoring numbers but those rings leave his fingers

 

[Supreme365]

Its really close but young kobe was something else...


Lebron too.

It depends on what you're looking for tho.

At 22, Kobe was a better individual player and bron a better team player id say

If you're the better team player you're the better player fukk we playing 33? 1 on 1?

 

[Supreme365]

fukk that. Find me ANY Kobe season that compares with 21 year old Bron.

13 bron shyts on damn near every player in the history of the game

We don't know that. A Lakers team built around Kobe exclusively could've contended back then too. Let y'all tell it tho Kobe was a slightly better JR Smith.

Kobe coulda won if he played with KG instead of shaq
