LeBron Vs. Kobe & Everybody!


LeBron James is the best player in the NBA. Matter of fact, he is the BEST player in NBA history and perhaps the most versatile as well.

The first thing everyone mentions is, "No Rings." But you do not get rings for a 1-on-1 contest, it is a team effort. In the long run, Kobe and other Championship winners (Jordan) always had a better team.

Consider, Kobe had Shaq. That is the only reason why the Lakers got three rings in the early 2000s. Shaq is the one who received all the MVP finals awards. Then it took Kobe years later to rebuild and still - he has the better team.

Lets take LeBron off the Cavs they decrease in terms of talent. Take Kobe off the Lakers - things don't look much different. 'Bron makes his team better, which is something Kobe has yet to learn.

Kobe is one dimensional. He could either be unselfish getting everyone involved by obtaining 7 assists and 12 points, or he can score 35 points and 1 assists. He just can't do both every night.

On the contrary, LeBron can score 40 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds in one game, statistics you will NEVER see next to Kobe's name. Numbers don't lie!

As we all know, LeBron is the youngest player in NBA history to score 30-pts, 40-pts and 50-pts in a contest. Surpassing just about everybody.

He joined the legendary Oscar Robertson and Jordan to have 20-pts, 5-rbs and 5-ast in their rookie season. However he was younger, therefore he surpasses them as well!

'Bron is the 2nd youngest player in NBA HISTORY to get the MVP award. Kobe on the other hand, had to wait until he was about 29-yrs old - to be proven valuable.

The King is more dominant that both Kobe and Jordan when they were his age.

He gets it done on both ends of the floor. His killer defense, offense and passing abilities. Compared to most players - LeBron is very unselfish.

He will always make sure his teammates get their shot off first. Kobe is not the type to give his teammates the ball, especially if they are losing in the 4th quarter. A great player always has faith in their teammates. Something both Kobe and Jordan lacked!

Statistics do not prove everything, but if you want to use them, LeBron easily slaughters Kobe.
Don't even use Kobe scoring ridiculous numbers (81). Any idiot can do that. It's like what about your team? How can you call yourself a team player if you are scoring 81-pts? Getting everyone involved increases basketball IQ - clearly Kobe thinks of himself first.

LeBron is inconsistent, only because each year he improves. His shot has gotten incredible and his free-throw shooting is peaking the 80-percent range.

Lastly, what makes LeBron so valuable is the fact that he can play positions 1-4 and dominate. He's most deadly at PF, although he is a starting SF.

As I said before he is an all around player, there's nothing he cannot do. Put LeBron on the teams that both Jordan and Kobe had and he has a bunch of rings just like them.


Sooner or later everyone will see what I'm talking about.
