Kobe or Lebron
Philippines
January 14, 2010 7:07am CST
Many fans have argued a lot about these two NBA superstars, kobe and lebron. Both players are really good when it comes basketball but who among them is really better. Kobe has grown a lot and had lots of experience regarding basketball but lebron is still starting. So whose better? I'd say Lebron now and kobe at his times. I think we really cannot compare players of different generations. Like between MJ and Kobe or MJ and Lebron or comparing the three. Michael Jordan and other players who has played before him has brought changes to the game. The younger the person is the bigger the room to grow and I think such growth comes from the players who has played before them. Not long from now, I think we will see other great players but the competion also becomes harder and better because they to had been affected by the hall famers who had played before them.

Hi,
I'm sorry but I have to go with neither, I can't stand either of them, their both way too cocky for my taste. I'm a Boston Celtics fan and I like other players but Kobe and Lebron aren't on my favorite players lists. My all time favorite Basketball player is Michael Jordan, in my eyes, nobody will ever come close to him, he's the best of the best and always will be too me.

Kobe is not cocky at all, Watch his interviews after he has had a great record setting, breaking or tying game and he always pays tribute to the great players of the past and that he is honoured to have achieved something up there with the Greats of the game.

You just have to watch Kobe Bryant on the court to see he is the best in the NBA when he does his stuff.

I think it is a difficult comparison but in my view MJ is the greatest player of any generation next come Kobe Bryan and I guess next would come Lebron James.Michael just had an ability that non ecan match ,he had the scoring abilty ,the flair ,the panache and the ability of minutes.The only other person who I see with that kind of ability is Kobe Bryant.Lebron is a scorer but he lack the flair and shot play of either Kobe or MJ so to answer teh question I woudl say Kobe

I go with kobe.
Kobe has a lots of talent that lebron.
Much more talent.
The only difference is lebron is loved by media.
His a star before he step in in NBA.
His the "story" the "darling" of the press before he even became number one pick.
..
I think even carmelo is much better than lebron james.
Lebron is purely power move games.
Look at kobe he has graceful shot and unbelievable shot..
Even in free throw lebron miss more thna kobe..
..
And the ring..just count the ring.

i would probably have to say that kobe bryant is the better player even with his broken finger he was scoring like he was as healthy as a horse lebron is pretty good to dont get me wrong once he gets pumped there's no really stopping him but sometime it takes awhile for him to get his rhythm going.

I feel LeBron still has a weakness in his game, if you stop him getting inside the paint then he is not as comfortable shooting the jumper. He has certainly improved that part of his game in the last couple of years but this is one of the main reasons I still pick Kobe over LeBron.

For me it has to be Kobe Bryant, He's the better overall scorer, better at the big shots. LeBron is a better rebounder and passer but his assists are also higher due to holding the ball a lot more than Kobe, if you watch them both you will see Kobe bring the ball up after a rebound and also when the Lakers try for the last shot of the quarter.
LeBron James however is basically a Point Forward who shares bringing the ball up with Mo Williams. Hence the seven assists per game that LeBron is averaging.

I think Lebron is the better individual player, but Kobe is a much better team player and all around smarter basketball player.

I actually agree with you mentioning that we can't truly compare the players from different generation. There are so many factors influencing the players. I would say that Lebron and Kobe had their best time in NBA.
For Kobe, i think he's comparable to Shaq in term of generation, still, i vote for Kobe. Meanwhile, maybe Lebron comparable to Dwyan Wade, and, I still think that I vote for Lebron.
But because Kobe is still playing awesomely at Lebron generation, that is the fact that shows Kobe is truly amazing player. Later, if Lebron is growing old and still playing at someone else's generation, we may compare these players.
