Dominique Wilkins: Kobe Bryant in his prime better all around player than Lebron

[BallsOut]

Yes, I will take a 14 year old teen from Alabama who watches child porn cartoon's opinion over one of the game's most top players in history. Ok.

Obviously Nique would say that... He's the same sort of "All me" player.
Ask Magic, Pippen, Robertson or Bird for their opinions on the matter and you'll get a different answer.

[Nash]

First of all, Nique starts off by saying that they are very similar which to be honest his opinion is disqualified right there.

Second, Kobe is good at many things but being an overall better player than Lebron is not one of them. Not many players have been actually. riptheshit, not even you believe that dawg.

Magic and Bird have often stated Kobe as being best player. Not sure where you get your info from.

2010? Weak, that is almost 4 years ago. Look a little closer. Both Bird and Magic have said that Lebron is up there with Jordan.

Pretty obvious he's saying prime vs prime Kobe was better, with Lebron being in his prime now and thus atm better.

You could just as easily spin it in the other direction.

You could say he said that Kobe in his prime but only because LeBron hadn't reached his own prime yet. When LeBron did reach his prime, he took the title.


Just accept it for what it is. It's was a PC answer. Kobe was better at one time and LeBron was better at another time. Typical dodge.

No, he's not comparing their primes to each other..He's saying each was the better all around player when they were both respectively in their primes...Not that one's prime is better than the others...

Or this is another way to say it...

A poll of non-laker/kobe/Lebron/Heat fans would probably have this at about 90% for LeBron being better prime for prime.

No.

Kobe and Lebron are both the total package. Both great scorers, great passers, great defenders, and great rebounders (for perimeter players). So that puts them in rare company. The only other guys u can say that about are MJ, West, Wade, and Hondo. And I guess arguably a Big O and prime G HIll.

But all around wise, I gotta go with Bron. He's a better passer, better rebounder, and more versatile. As great as Kobe is, he's not capable of playing and defender 4 to 5 positions. But for many years, Kobe was better than Bron though. Once Bron got better on D and really exploiting his versatility, I think Bron became better once Kobe fell from peak level. So with those two factors, sure Bron is the better all around player. But Bron is more similar of course to the Big O, Magic, and Bird. While Kobe is more similar to MJ. All these guys are great all around players but do it differently.

You could, but you'd clearly be delusional in thinking that's what Nique meant.

Prime vs Prime, he takes Kobe. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Mr. Incredible]

Oscar Robertson said Lebron is as good if not better than Michael Jordan.

Another day, another legend that recognizes Lebron over Kobe, nothing new.

Lol OP won't respond because he's mentally soft.

Isn't LeBron 13-6 head-to-head against Kobe?!

Oh yeah he is.

]Problem with common sense is that it's not common on this board.[/B]. I agree with your conclusion..

Obviously....

[Heavincent]

I think it's funny how the only people who say "Lebron is better at his peak and it's not even close" are Lebron stans and/or Kobe detractors. Never in my life have I heard a qualified and unbiased basketball mind say something like that. The vast majority of people will tell you it's VERY close. Lebron dick riders like Nash and pauk love to act like it's some kind of consensus.
