The refs blow the whistle more for lebron.

Interesting stat that has a lot to do with their games. No doubt LeBron is a more efficient scorer, but he's bigger, stronger and faster, so is it really that surprising? Kobe is a 6'6 SG that has always taken more jumpers than shots in the paint, and his shots are becoming much more jumper-oriented now that he's older. LeBron is 6'8 and 50 pounds heavier, so again, he takes the close shots that are easier to make and result in fouls more often.

Kobe has made 313 more FTs in that same span while taking 356 less FT attempts FWIW

ETA:

And I fully believe that LeBron has been better than Kobe for years now, but Kobe will always be the more skilled player. Although that doesn't really mean shite at the end of the day
