Breaking down times in the finals and outcomes it seems rather a slam dunk.

Kobe

7 final appearances
5 wins
2 losses

Bron'

9 finals appearances..

3 wins
6 losses


Seems rather clear cut to me who the better laker and player, winner, killer mamba instinct, and offensive machine is here.


I hate it for the man, but LeBron has underwhelmed where it matters most.

Still love Kobe, though.

Kobe is one of the greatest examples of why you shouldn’t use championships to determine who the best players are to have ever played the game.

LeBron is easily better.

If bron played with Shaq, bron would have at least 5 with shaq and wouldn't have pissed off shaq causing team drama and wouldn't have run off shaq prematurely.

LeBron will never be seen as Kobe in a Lakers uniform.

What about 2012 when Lebron beat the Thunder team that Kobe lost to?
Or what about 2013 when Lebron beat the Spurs team that Kobe lost to?

Kobe has arguably the best statistics of any basketball player from 2004-2007 or so. He was awesome.

He wouldn't have won a title with shaq. Kobe qss the perfect compliment. LeBron isn't as good as Kobe in that triangle offensively. Two different players entirely.

One was a better offensive player. Shaq did play with LeBron for Witness Protection.

Man, Kobe was in the twilight. LeBron was in his prime with his conniving dream team.

Which happens to coincide with the period between running Shaq off and Gasol getting there and the Lakers not being very good.

Lebron can't even be the greatest Laker ever, but somehow GOAT...

TDMSB Logic there.

Shaq would have to get out of the box so Lebron can bully to the rim. Kobe made a killing hitting jumpers in that triangle.

Don't get me wrong, Lebron would get some easy buckets, but he isn't what Phil needed to fit with Shaq. Kobe was.

Kobe was told he couldn't win without Shaq and went out there with Pau Gasoline Ron, I'm a Nutjob, Artest, and yoing Ariza, JORDAN FARMAR, shite.

He proved the doubters wrong.

And no way he going to join some stupid arse dream team.
