Lebron:

bulletpoints:

*Kobe looks fluid, picks up on subtleties, gets Hakeem excited by duplicating moves correctly almost immediately.

*Lebron looks mechanical, Hakeem constantly pointing out/explaining his mistakes.

Just interesting to see the natural fluidity of Hakeem and Kobe contrast with Lebron.

Could be the soccer backgrounds and the slim and trim build.

[STATUTORY]

watching Hakeem and Kobe is like watching The Prestige, two great craftsmen going at it, replicating and improvising on each other's moves

Bron is like a hapless amateur trying to pull the rabbit out of the hat when he's being taught how to do a card trick

[Cocaine80s]

both with better post games than Wilt

[JT123]

So Kobe is a better shooter, a better dunker, more fluid and graceful, yet Lebron has matched his Finals MVP count by the age of 29?
How great is our Bron? On pace to surpass Kobe on the all time list despite Kobe having so many god given physical advantages over Lebron.

LeBron clearly has the god given advantage (athleticism)

Kobe clearly has the man made advantages (skill)

both great players.

Wade would have done the same if your god had a spine.

Working with Hakeem, as well as with Grover (he started Summer 07 I believe) played a huge part in those three Finals runs + 2 chips. We might've won anyway in 09, but the next year Kobe was hurting a bit, and didn't seem to be in his athletic prime anymore. His crisp footwork and advanced moves/counters really helped smooth the transition to clinch the repeat.

Repped for referencing a fantastic movie and insulting LeBron at the same time.
