The only people who think kobe > bran are...

[ISHGoat]

kobe stans/lebron haters

am I right?

basically every neutral party, and other stan bases (wilt stans, mj stans, etc) thinks lebron is greater

fan bases of literally every other team acknowledge that bran > kobe AS A PLAYER, correct?

where im from (toronto), it is pretty much unanimous amongst bball fans/hoopers that lebron > kobe. everyone at my office is also cheering for lebron this series.

I don't think you have to hate Lebron and love Kobe to take Kobe over Lebron.

I personally have Lebron over Kobe now, but it's not like comparing MJ to Kobe or something. The gap isn't nearly that big.

And while I do take Lebron, we can't ignore that an argument could be made that Lebron's lack of range shooting that has plagued him greatly when it matters most is a weakness so big that it makes Kobe the better player.

I think that everything else Lebron does on the court trumps that huge weakness, but it remains a huge weakness.

Go back and look at the biggest series Lebron has ever played against the best teams. His shot seems to just break down.

Broke down in 07. Broke down in 10. Broke down in 11. Broke down in 13 for the first 5 games and 3 qtrs (this remains one of the most under-rated things...credit to Lebron for game 7, but he was dreadful in that game 6 until the last stretch and without the Allen shot would have had yet another brutally bad finals) Has been broken all of the 15 playoffs.

Not being able to consistently make teams pay for giving you a huge cushion on shots is a glaring weakness in a great players game.

Kobe has plenty of issues as well, but I think a sensible argument could be made that they aren't as big as Lebron's shooting that comes and goes so often.

Having said that, Lebron has been a clear cut more dominant player to me overall and has proved he can do more with less...and his longevity, durability, and overall game...to me at least...trump what Kobe has done.

But it's not night and day.

Lebron keeps up this level for 5 or so more years and wins a couple more titles while playing great? Or somehow wins this series? Then yea...probably will take what you say.

Even as a Lebron fan since 2004, I have to say Kobe is just a little bit better.

No one is seen as neutral on this forum, you rank Kobe above Bron you're seen as a Kobe stan, you rank Bron above Kobe and you're seen as a Bron stan

Let's not get carried away, I think the comparison is valid but if bran goes 2/6 how can you say with a straight face that he is better than kobe?

Lebron, duncan,shaq and KD are the best players of this generation

[kennethgriffin]

Lebron, duncan,shaq and KD are the best players of this generation

shaq and lebron are not even from the same generation





shaqs run was mid 90's to mid 00's

lebrons is late 00's to now

2 entirely different generations actually



and kobe was the player of the decade by every media outlet

[choppermagic]

A good number of HOF NBA Players and stars have publicly picked Kobe over Lebron. Does that make them haters?

[MEB2kDeez]

A lot of people do really


Depends on what you take value in.
