Kobe's been in the league 17 yrs not 2. But since you want to compare a prime Lebron to Prime Kobe...that's cool...here we go
Kobe vs Spurs All-time 4-1![]()

Nope.
4-2. Same winning percentage Nash has against Kobe in the playoffs.
And now that Nash is a Laker, Kirby will never get the opportunity to even up the score.![]()
Shaq's teams beat the Spurs, Kings, and Blazers in the early 00s.
And lol at mentioning the Suns (who Kobe lost to twice and only beat once), Nuggets and Jazz. Those were some of the weakest "contenders" of all-time.
You pontificated much but you didn't answer my question...compare the teams Kobe went through vs Lebron....Lebron never had to consistently play against a tough western conference power house like the Spurs through-out his career ;-)
ohhh and how could I forget about the Mavs....they've been a staple of Western conference power for at least a decade
Neither did Kobe. A Kobe Bryant-led team only faced the Spurs once in the playoffs, and that Spurs team was anything but a powerhouse. Old, slow, banged up, needed 7 games to beat the Hornets. Miami would've swept them, probably winning by an average of 15 points per game.
Props to Kobe, though. Snuck in a couple of les when the West was at its weakest![]()
Lebron had only the Celtics...other than that he's been running around the Leastern Conference *aka* the JV conference like a stray pit bull on the loose
You pontificated much but you still didn't answer my question...it's ok we understand your pain....sine you don't want to have a serious discussion let me hit you with the old faithful:
It's still Kobe 2 Shaq 1
and Kobe 5 TOSB 4
or Kobe 5 and Lebronze 1
no matter how you slice my is on top
Kirby's never beaten the Mavs. They swept his ass. So why are you bringing them up?
Just shows you how hard Kobe's had it....facing these team night in and night out when Lebron is playing JV teams
Name a defensive player like Bruce Bowen that Lebron has to play against
Name a defensive combination like Duncan and Robinson that Lebron had to penetrate against
name a 2 time MVP point guard like Nash that Lebron had to play against
Name a time when Lebron defeated 3 first ballot HOF's for a le
The '07 Pistons and '11 Chicago Bulls were better teams than anything Kirby saw in the West in '08, '09, '10.
All things considered, I say their compe ion was about equal in their respective conferences over the past 6 seasons.
The Problem is Kobe is defying age at this point..the is getting greedy..he's refusing to accept old age and just quit...he's not supposed to be out there balling against yet another generation of young players and leading the league in scoring...the didn't get the memo that his time was up...he's like the greek god Perseus
you're getting great at this pontification game....again Kobe's been in the league since 96...not just '08, '09. and '10...
name a coach like Pop that Lebron had to play against... ;-)
Name a time when Kobe did it?
Oh, you mean Boston's big three who were all clearly past their primes? Lebron beat that same team the next year, and it didn't take him 7 games to do it![]()
Eat took on Kobe's sloppy seconds...answer me this..when he beat them that year did it lead to a le?
Yep. Age hasn't prevented him from putting up an ungodly amount of shots....
And missing most of them.
Has Lebron ever played against defensive greats such as Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, and Bruce Bowen...
if the fouls were called as they should half the missed shots would be counted as the free throws they should be...Kobe gets hated on by the refs because of Colorado
