Jordan Picks Kobe Over LeBron
Chamillitary Click:
Shaq carried them. Shaq left, won a ring somewhere else with a SG worse than Kobe. While Kobe was in the same situation LeBron was in for seven years & couldn't finish .500. Now Phil is gone & he's still under .500 with the most talented roster in the league. It's really not debatable. Then he bitched & moaned to Buss until they stole Pau, had BY FAR the most talented team in the NBA, especially in the West that consisted of Dirk choking, an injured Spurs team, Nash's defenseless Suns & then...everybody else in the West & just the Celtics & LeBron in the East. Couldn't even beat the Celtics in the first series, then got lucky the Magic outplayed the Celtics the next year & then in the third year, if it wasn't for Pau grabbing 18 rebounds in a game where Kendrick Perkins was out probably wouldn't have even won that time. Then the league got a little more balanced. The Mavs got help around Dirk who didn't choke, OKC emerged, the Spurs got healthy, the Grizzles & Clippers were becoming stronger & Kobe had more of a challenge of people to get through & couldn't do it.
All facts, that simply cannot be disputed.

rings are a team accomplishment, individual accolades should be all that matter

the ultimate goal in basketball is winning championships....individual accolades should be all that matter? lol. basketball is not an INDIVIDUAL sport. this aint tennis or golf, my boy. if that were the case, u'd have a great argument.
the horry argument is dumb, because he was a ROLE PLAYER...and like shaq said, yes, russell is considered for GOAT, because of his rings.

Horry wasn't a key player. What you can do, is compare the number of rings that Kobe, Lebron and Jordan have. It matters.

lmao
lebron has a rookie of the year and more mvps in that timeframe...he must be better!
smh if u really believe bron was better than kobe in their first 9 years.
--- End quote ---
I do believe Bron is better. More MVPs, more all NBA first teams, and all around better in basically every statistic category. And you know Kobe aint winning a title without Shaq during this period, you cant even argue that. Give your head a shake.
--- End quote ---
yea, because Kobe sacrificed INDIVIDUAL stats and accomplishment for titles, since he played next to Shaq during a good portion of his prime....horrible reason to claim LeBron is better. we all know LeBron racked up individual accomplishments whole chokin the playoffs year in and year out...but Kobe, in his prime, was flawless. u cant say that about LeBron...he only started showing a killer instinct very recently. lets not get ahead of ourselves, my dude.

Do you really think Kobe sacrificed his field goal % to win championships? Cmon man. Or did Kobe get less rebounds and assists to make the team better? Getting more boards and dimes simply makes your team better, point blank. And the fact is, LeBron is better at getting them, as well as scoring with a much higher efficiency. If anything, Kobe should have been the most efficient scorer of the 3 since he played with Shaq who was the one getting double-teamed all game.

kobe has a lower fg% because he is a SHOOTER...deandre jordan also has a higher fg% than lebron, did u know that? lmao. and yea, lebron has more assists, because he's a PASS-FIRST player...kobe is the greatest scorer in the history of the league, so of course his assists will be lower when he's typically looking to SCORE FIRST. fact of the matter is, Kobe sacrificed MVPS, scoring titles, and all sort of indivudal accolades to play alongside Shaq and win TITLES. lol, come on, now, if Kobe played on a team like the Cavs in 2002, he woulda averaged 40 points :laugh:

Every great player in order to win rings needs to sacrifice some of the individual things. You can say that about every great player. Plus, Kobe also didn't make the play-offs with his team or got stopped in the first round, while being "the man". Now, I know you'll say he played with bums but let's not act like Lebron had such a great team while on Cavaliers.
Now, to be clear - I don't compare them. They are both great in their own way, just if you wanna make points - be fair to each side. Kobe is a better scorer than Lebron, but James is a better all-around player than Bryant.
Case closed, move on y'all.

yea, every1 must sacrifice to win, unless ur like jordan and u have everything built around you LOL. really, though, playing alongside Shaq is like nothing else, because he was the most demanding player in the history of the league...even when phil jackson wanted to run the offense through kobe, shaq threatened to not play d and rebound if it didnt run through him, and he got his way.
lebron is all-around better in what way? because he rather pass than shoot? kobe made 12 all-defensive teams...kobe could lead the league in assists if that were his game. is a prime lamar odom a better all-around player than kobe because he can pass and rebound better? LOL. thats a horrible argument... mietek, listen to ur idol....Kobe>LeBron, and thats where it ends.
