If I want to get the most out of a scrub team I take Bron
If I want to put an already good team over the top I take Kobe

I think they're about equal tbh

That was one awesome shot by Ray Allen, however Shaquille O'Neal is responsible for Kobe Bryant first [COLOR=DarkOrchid]THREE [/COLOR]championships.

Any person with eyes would tell you Kobe's a better basketball player, the only he doesn't have are MVPs, but the MVP award is the most inconsistent award in basketball.

Don't let Lebron's finals number trick you, any star player would put up triple doubles if they had the ball in their hand 90% of the time, we just saw GOATBROOK do it this season.

Lebron has, no post game, no shot, average dribble, no go to move, how can this player be better than Kobe?

Let's call it like we see it, Bron is an Average Bball player with Godlike athleticism that's all, and he's the media darling.

I'm probably more of a fan of Bron now than Kobe after his stint at the Heat, but I think I'm fairly unbiased when it comes to assessing the players. I was a much bigger fan of Kobe prior to Bron joining the Heat, and actually actively rooted for Bron to fail much like most of the Bron haters on here now. Then again, I was a lot younger then too.

Saying that though, even as someone who didn't like Bron much, his level of play in 2009 was to me at least, a level higher than Kobe ever reached, and I thought of him as the better player at that point. His first MVP season was crazy. From that point onwards, I don't think Kobe has ever been better, and has never actually reached the level of play Bron showed from 09-14. This season Bron declined a bit, but he will probably bounce back next season.

From the players I've seen, only Shaq has definitely had a better peak than Bron. He is right there with peak MJ. Can't comment on Wilt and Kareem, but I've watched a ton of Bird, and in my opinion he is better than him too. Bron is one of the 5 best basketball players ever at his best.

are you mentally challenged or something

kobes 2 fmvps =

- both in a full season
- both without bail out game winners to save the year
- both without colluding
- both without ring chasing
- both without a single legendary team mates
- both without multiple HOF sidekicks period


lebrons 2 fmvps =

- 1 in a lockout season
- one with a bail out game winner to save the year
- both colluding
- both ring chasing
- both with a legendary team mate
- both with multiple HOF sidekicks in their prime


how on gods green earth are lebrons 2 fmvps even worth a fart in the wind compared to kobes

kobes 2 = hakeem 94
lebrons 2 = no one in nba history has had a worse or more pathetic run



and 3 more rings averaging 25/5/5+ > 3 more regular season PER/popularity stat ESPN voted nominations


nobody wins mvp. and even if they did its for a meaningless regular season

2014 reg season KD > 2009 reg season bron

Nah man. KD can't touch what Bron did in 09, 10, 12, 13. All his MVP seasons are better than KD's. Particularly 09. Dude was sitting out so many 4th quarters. Could have put up even crazier stats.

[NBASTATMAN]

IMO they are both equal IMO....

But Magic Johnson and SkIP Bayless said they would put Lebron on their MT RUSHMORE of BBALL....

I think that is crazy...

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

This.
