Where does Lebron rank all-time now?

[Malta]

Let me help you out.

LeBron is 27 and in his prime now.

Durant still dropped 31 on Bron's head. You really think Bron would've done anything against Kobe when he was 27 and in his?

LeBron is in his physical prime as a player, doesn't mean he's at his peak yet.

And KD has an off switch, if Kobe's shot was off he could be baited into shooting his teams out of series at that age.

and if Kobe had better teammates, he wouldn't have the outrageous scoring numbers he did by being the only viable offensive option on his team; so you stans wouldn't be able to pound your chest by posting his crazy scoring numbers... then what?


if a prime Kobe and a prime Bron are both relegated to only shooting 18-20 shots a game, Bron is better in every single facet of the game

WHen did I talk about Kobe's scoring numbers? You're quoting the wrong person and I'm not stanning.


WHEN kobe got better teammates, he won back to back championships and went to the finals 3 times, so if Kobe got better teamates in 05, he wouldn't have those outrageous scoring nights but he would have more CHAMPIONSHIPS

Kobe makes his teammates worse.

the only thing kobe is better than lebron at is outside shooting.

lebron has him in defense, rebounding, assists.

Kobe has never even come close to shooting 50% for a season. 47% isn't even achievable for him.

I completely disagree about the Defense, he may be better now but for their careers it's not close. Lebron was awful on D his first 4 years in the league and he's only been in the league for 9. Kobe was a legit lockdown defender since he got consistent playing time, which was about year 2 I think.

People keep talking to me about LBJ's defense like Pierce and Durant didn't get theirs this year on Lebron...

He's a defensive presence but Prime Kobe was the best man to man defender in the NBA.

Bron's in his prime, Walt.

He's 27 & almost been playing 10 years.

If he couldn't stop a skinny one dimensional jumpshooter from getting 31 a game, what makes you think he's stopping the nikka who had a fully developed game & could drop 60 at will. hate is fogging your eyes man

Son, peak and prime are two different things, you think Hakeem was in his physical prime at 31-33 when he was destroying the league and making sweet love to David Robinson on the court?

And the only thing honestly stopping KD from scoring more is the PG he plays with

I get that.

I'm just saying he is in his prime.

And I don't see anything about him that would make me believe he'd shut down a prime Kobe. Could've been perfect rivals if they were a lil closer in age.

Where did I allude to him shutting down Kobe? It's not like they didn't play each other when Kobe was in his prime and he never dropped 50-60 on him then.

I have never said anyone can "stop" Kobe, he simply will not stop shooting and he'll get his numbers.

Kobe had to guards point guards too... those lakers teams just put kobe on the other teams best scorer and said work. From the 1 to the 3 Kobe was on em.
