There is no similarities between Kobe and Lebron. Yes, they are both extremely good basketball players but they play two totally different games. When Kobe plays he has the smooth flow that makes everything he does look easy. Kobe can drive to the basket, do a one dribble pull-up jumper, shoot a jump shot in your eye, can defend anyone, and hit a shot from anywhere on the floor. He is the ideal basketball player of his time. There is no one in the league who can shut him down. Kobe gets the job done. If you do not believe that then let me ask you this. How many championship rings does Kobe have? How many does Lebron have?
Lebron is a power house. He will drive you to the basket and will go through absolutely anyone. His shot is decent he is not automatic though. Lebron has a ton of skill and a lot of potential. He has a very bad habit of choking in the playoffs. There is no excuse for that. When it is playoff time, you put all the distractions aside and focus on the main goal, the championship ring. Lebron has had many chances to get there but always falls short. What he should be doing is working with the Cavs and working on getting his team better so they can actually do something in the playoffs. His decision on leaving was a coward way out.
Lebron is a good player, don't get me wrong. I like the way he plays, but trying to compare him to Kobe is just stupid. Kobe never bailed on his team, and he plays like a champion. Kobe has won numerous of championship rings and Lebron has won zero. I believe if you want to compare these two you will have to wait until Lebron gets some bling. Even then Lebron will not be close to the player Kobe is.
Damn right about Kobe being the ideal basketball player of his time. I agree with every single thing you said actually, but give Lebron the 7 years that Kobe has on him and then match the rings up feel me? I love a Kobe fan though haha
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge Kobe fan! So thank you, I loved reading an intelligent argument of why Kobe is better than Lebron. Made my night! :)
ReplyDeleteI feel there is one big difference between both Kobe and LBJ. Kobe was a free agent awhile ago. Thought about going to a different team, but he stayed. The Lakers added Gasol and then the dynasty happened. LBJ on the otherhand.. gave up on his city, fans, and more importantly teammates. Yes of course he will get championships at Miami.. but the rep of his character is gone. Stick it out with your teammates, demand you get help with Cleveland, and flat out compete.
