Lebron James. Better defender, less bonehead shots/plays.

Lebron.... come on...

*Better overall productions (especially in the playoffs)
*Better defense
*More dominant
*More successful (MVP, most 1st all-nba & most 1st all-defensive team votes, DPOY votes, Finals, championship & fmvp?)

[BEAST Griffin]

Lebron is putting up these numbers sharing the ball with Wade.

LeBron > Kobe

This. Im not even a Kobe hater. But Lebron is the better player.

Agreed. Yeah, Kobe gave you 35 a night and was probably a better crunch-time player, but Lebron is far more consistent. He may disappear stretches of a game, sure, YET you can pencil him in for an efficient 30/7/5 (plus, as as you said, he was a better defender). Just my opinion though. I do think it's close.

I am aiming that towards the topic... as this year of Lebron (2011-12) vs what Kobe did in 2005-06.... meaning Lebron was more successful this year than Kobe in 2005-06, that year alone...

[inclinerator]

lebron impacted more kobe was the better scorer

[Indian guy]

Kobe.

It's not close.

[PJR]

Kobrick has never better better than LeGawd(since he entered his prime). Scoring more ppg on more shots does not make you better.

Lol Kobrick would have demanded a trade from Cleveland after his rookie year.
