It's stupid shyt being said on BOTH sides of this debate......

Some people are blindly hating on Kobe and others are blindly hating on Lebron.

Never mind that these are two vastly different players.

Kobe is just a pure scoring machine. Lebron will probably never have the scoring feats that Kobe has amassed, dude just doesn't have that mentality.

Lebron is an all purpose player. Almost anything you need done he can do at a high level. His size and athleticism is crazy and his court vision is unreal. He's not as skilled as Kobe but his raw talent more than makes up for it.

Both are going down as all time great players. The hate both of them receive has a lot to do with their fan bases though. Some Kobe fans go WAY overboard defending him and Lebron fans set his bar WAY too high and are paying for it now.

and prime Kobe isn't an "all around player"? I swear you nikkaz dont watch the games. Kobe can be anything you want on a team, lead playmaker, best defender, Number one and number 2 scoring option, closer etc.

Can he do it? Yes

Does he consistently do? No

I've seen the games where Kobe has done all those things (and done them well) but it's not something he's consistently looking to do. It's not part of his natural instincts to do those things, he's a scorer first and foremost.

Hell I never even used the words "All round player" so I'm not sure why you put that in quotes. I said Lebron was a all purpose player. meaning you could play Lebron at and have him defend all five positions of the floor.

He needs to find a post game first

I give Bron props for toasting the bulls. That was the best defensive team they faced all playoffs and he was the MVP not Wade. I'm just using the poit on how just having one ring doesn't put someone in a top 5 all time. Hakeem has 2 rings(back to back) with some of the most dominant playoff performances ever and a lot of nikkaz don't have him in their top 5.

If Lebron wins a ring this year, that's great, but whats his argument for his career over these guys

Mike
Magic
Bird
Kareem
Hakeem
Russell
Kobe
Duncan
Shaq
Wilt

Duncan for example lead his team to 4 titles, has one less MVP, 3 finals MVP's and has all( more actually) all nba and all defensive team call ups.
How's Bron competing with that?

I was referencing the media and the simple minds that will accept whatever they say without hesitation. If Bron gets a ring this year the GOAT convo that started up heading into last years Finals will be back in full swing. The slobbing is gonna be ridiculous. The same way people went overboard with the hate after The Decision and after the Finals loss last year they are gonna go overboard with the fellatio when he gets a ring. It's not about logic it's about the narrative. I personally need to see more years at this level, a post game, and no more bouts with bytchassness like we saw last year before I can consider him for Top 5hood, with or without a ring.

It's funny, when kobe shot 20 plus freethrows against the mavs, it was greatness. When wade did in the finals, it was a fix.

Here's a project for you:

Look up kobe's 81 point games in the playoffs


Or his 60 point games

Or his 50 point games.

I think he only has 1 or 2 50 point games in the playoffs. Kobe likes scoring alot against shytty teams. PERIOD.

Are ppl actually using the stats of a 9 year vet & comparing it to a dude in his 3rd season, to anchor an argument on who is better?
