Kobe has a better overall game. He can still take over any game and hit the toughest shots. I dont think Lebron is ready to take a tough fadeaway at the end of games.
every player has their up and downside, lebron is more of a teamplayer, and kobe does it more by himself...in the end, it doesnt matter how good you are until you win a championship. And yes i do agree kobe has a better supporting cast, i even think kobe has more help on his team now than jordan did, but no one stopped jordan...
lebron is overrated like some ppl have said here...hasn't won a ring...and probably will never once he joins the knicks or nets in 2011... kobe makes crazy shots all the time and is clutch..lebron misses free throws to lose games wade> both
They are both Super stars. Kobe has the Championships and LeBron hasn't won it yet but Lebron is getting better and better every year. I think LeBron will become as good as MJ.
we dont know yet..... Kobe got no ring without Shaq, so until he win one without Shaq, they are pretty much equal in a different ways. Kobe is more explosive but Lebron is a more complete player than Kobe. If the Kobe can win a ring before Lebron without Shaq then it Kobe is better, and if Lebron does it before Kobe then Lebron is better. Its about winning.
They will never match MJ until they get a Scotty Pippen. In the last LA-Cleveland match up, LA won even though Kobe had a dislocated finger. He definitely has a better supporting cast, but no one will eve forget last year's finals series when Kobe didn't show up.
kobe, he just has a better game and is more creative. the only thing lebron has on kobe is a few inches and pounds.
Kobe. LeBron is just younger and has a crazy body. Kobe's game is more mature and relies on his skill more, while LBJ will just overpower you.
