Not sure how anyone would say Kobe's season was better than, or even just as good as Westbrook's

[Jacks3]

that was the worst season of kobe's prime by far. he doesn't have a case over westbrook.

[navy]

What were their records?

[J Shuttlesworth]

A better comparison would be Kobe's 35/5/4 season

[Legends66NBA7]

Westbrook comfortably.

That was a pretty forgettable year for Bryant's standards.

A better comparison would be Kobe's 35/5/4 season

Not really.

[kNIOKAS]

Pretty good comparison in terms that their teams didn't make Playoffs

[Dragonyeuw]

Kobe 04 wasn't better than Westbrook 15. 04 Kobe was an off yearbecause of the whole Colorado thing.

[StrongLurk]

Westbrook played way less minutes too. Westbrook takes this one.

[VengefulAngel]

Westbrook's season is actually quite historic, comparing it to a Kobe season is an injustice.

[Legends66NBA7]

Kobe 04 wasn't better than Westbrook 15. 04 Kobe was an off yearbecause of the whole Colorado thing.

Wong year.

This was the first year of post Shaq/Kobe/Phil era.
