Who will be remembered as the better player?

[jag]

I haven't seen any Kobe vs. Bron threads around here so let's talk about it.

[Giuseppe]

He's ostensibly half way thru and has O NBA les.

Please.

Please.

But, so was MJ.

LeBron James has never had an arguable top 5 all-time player in his prime, either.

I don't do that , Z. SpursFan does that.

[z0sa]

I don't do that , Z.

You just did, by calling TEAM accomplishments into the picture.

I don't see team mentioned anywhere in the Thread le.

Kobe will be remembered as the Russell.

LeBron will be remembered as the Chamberlain.

[Giuseppe]

^The guy is from the best location in the nation.

Lebron has the talent to go down as the greatest player of all time, but to even sniff the same air as Kobe he is going to have to win multiple les. He's 0-2 on the big stage right now and he had no excuse last year. I believe he will ultimately get there, but if their careers ended today it would be Kobe by a mile.

+1


i also think it will hurt lebron if he starts winning when kobe retires.

[Giuseppe]

If he hasn't rung by the time Kobe retires he'll never ring. Kobe will probably go another 10 years.

Lebron is no MJ ...
But i think he does have a sht to be better than Kobe and MJ ... but right now it's Kobe. Question. Is this based on current accomplishments or potential?

[hater]

Kobe. Lebron has proven he's got no brainpower. and you dont' grow brainpower over time.

[Kewni Leonard]

Kobe may be remembered as the better player, but ONLY because he was a Laker and most NBA fans have an IQ under 80.

[Magua]

tbh the clock is ticking for Lebron in this discussion. Kobe's game still works because it's constantly evolving and adapting. Once Bron loses his quickness and gets older he wont be able to ######beast his way to the basket anymore and his game will be severely limited imo

Why wouldn't LeBron's game adapt to age? LeBron shoots better than Kobe and is a better passer.

Oh he's not even in the discussion of MJ. I was responding to Cubby when he said he's 1/2 way through and hasn't rung yet. There's still time for LeBron, but his team better win 3-4 les in the next 5 seasons.

Too bad he only likes doing the latter on the big stage when his team needs him.

[stretch]

including you, except i dont think yours could possibly be better than 42

LeBron just makes the right play. I'll take that over 25% shooting in the last 24 seconds of a game. That's what I do know.

Sick burn.

More power to ya, brah I guess there's no shame in being the 4th option behind Wade, Bosh, and Chalmers in the 4th quarter of championship games.
