    LeBron is younger than Kobe. Kobe's skillset > LeBron's. That's the difference in my book. There is nothing LeBron can do at age 26 that Kobe can't do at age 33. This is actually kind of sad.

    Oh, and I'm embarrassing myself for showing LeBron get posterized? If it were Kobe it would have 2,000 replies. It's cool though.
    Lebron does everything better than Kobe these days aside from force jump shots and turn the ball over. Only skills Kirby has over Lebron is post footwork and a more reliable midrange jumper. James is a better ball handler, passer, penetrator, defender, rebounder, and, yes, even a better a scorer.

    Damn right you're embarrassing yourself. You thought you had a cute troll thread set up and wound up getting on.

    We all know he'll get superstar leeway defensively in the clutch. No ref has balls big enough to call a foul on him. That allows him to be ultra agressive. But the fact remains he is a really good weakside shotblocker. Those swats make SportsCenter because of his name.

    To add onto what Kool was alluding to, if LBJ shut D-Rose down the way Kobe shut AI down throughout the game, you'd have a point. To do it during the waning moments of the game when we knew Chicago had no other options isn't really saying much IMO. He's a good defender. You guys need to stop acting like he is great. He's not.
    When has Kobe ever shutdown A.I. over a game or playoff series?



    I'll await for you to cite A.I.'s shooting percentage as "evidence" to support your claim, but any basketball fan knows 41% shooting for A.I. is like 55% shooting for a comparable player. To sum it up, Kobe's ass got torched by the Answer.

    You're pushing it. Kobe had a great Offensive game, but he was stinking on Defense. It was OKC-SA all over again.

    Actually, Kobe ran right into Dwight Howard. Unless that counts as a pick.

    LeBron is younger than Kobe. Kobe's skillset > LeBron's. That's the difference in my book.
    Oh, so since Dirk's skillset >>>>>>>> Shaq's skillset, that means you would build your team around a prime Dirk as opposed to a prime Shaq?

    lol can't accept prime Lebron > prime Kobe in basically every way except at hitting tough jumpshots (which are a result of Kobe's desire to take 10+ bad jumpers every game)

    Lebron is better than Kobe, prime for prime, but Kobe did have better shot creation and footwork since that's really all he ever worked on post-shaq and pre-gasol which is why he's able to remain relatively effective despite a considerable decline in his athleticism. Kobe specialized in a few aspects of the game, Lebron has his hand in every aspect of the game almost. Can't argue who is the better overall player, only argument lies in comparing the things Kobe specialized in to how Lebron does in the same regards. They aren't really comparable players anyways, Lebron is like Magic, Kobe is like Jordan (in styles of play, not ability).

    Only a Mav fan would ever compare Dirk to Shaq. Good job son.

    As Ace said, it's not a fair comparison. I don't think Kobe has ever been on the level Lebron is at the moment. He's doing it all with so much ease. I know the whole forum likes to debate on who the best player has been since Jordan (-> Shaq, Duncan or Kobe), but i think that is now settled.

    The funny thing is even Laker fans after seeing Mike Brown, are now realizing how great Lebron was back in his Cleveland days. You don't win 66 games with a coach like Mike Brown on your sidelines.

    This pretty much sums it up perfectly.

    Kobe is a more skilled scorer, while Lebron is a superior all-around player.

    really good take actually, too bad a lot of laker fans wouldn't ever think of it that way. Lebrons accomplishments in cleveland (with Mo in Williams being the 2nd best player he ever had) is nothing short of incredible
