LeBron Took The Cleveland Cavaliers To The NBA Finals in Just His 3rd Season (21 Years Old). Kobe Made His 1st NBA Finals Appearance in 2000 His 4th Season (22 Years Old)
Cavs Starting 5 in 2007 Mo Williams , Delonte West , LeBron James , Drew Gooden , Zydranus Illgauskas
Lakers Starting 5 in 2000 Derek Fisher , Kobe Bryant , Rick Fox , Robert Horry , Shaquile O'Neal
Lakers Had The Big 3 - Kobe , Horry , O'Neal .
Cavs- LeBron James in His 3rd Season , Not Fully Developed At His Best Playing With No All Stars .
Kobe Was Not At His Full Potential But Shaq Was At His Prime Which Is Why He Was Named Finals MVP in All 3 Years.
People Criticize LeBron James For Needing To Join a Team Full Of All-Stars ?
Jordan - Pippen - Grant (All-Stars)
Billups - Wallace - Hamilton (All-Stars)
Parker - Ginobli - Duncan (All-Stars)
Pierce - Allen - Garnett (All-Stars)
Kobe - Bynum - Gasol (All-Stars)
So Why Do People Criticize LeBron? Because They Can't Accept The Fact That He Left Cleveland After Giving it His All For 7 Years There . He Led Them To An NBA Finals Appearance , Twice The Best Record in The NBA (Back To Back) . Best Home Record . 2 Eastern Conference Finals Appearances. By Himself (Star-Player Wise)
Kobe By Himself (Star-Player Wise) 2005-2006 Lakers Starting 5
Smush Parker , Kobe Bryant , Luke Walton , Lamar Odom , Kwame Browm
Record (45-37) 8th Seed Lost in 1st Round To The Phoenix Suns
Lakers 2006-2007 Starting 5
Jordan Farmar , Kobe Bryant , Vladimir Radmonivic , Kwame Brown , Andrew Bynum
Record (42-40) 7th Seed Lost In 1st Round To The Phoenix Suns . That Same Year While Kobe Was Getting Eliminated , LeBron Was Leading His Team into The NBA Finals. Also Kobe Was 28 Years Old At This Time (Same Age LeBron Got His 1st Ring)
Kobe At Age 28 - Losses in 1st Round (Back To Back Years)
LeBron At Age 28 - Season MVP (3rd) , NBA Champion , Finals MVP Olympic Gold Medal . Not To Mention The Only Two Players in History To Accomplish All That in 1 Year Was Jordan And LeBron.
LeBron Got His 1st Finals MVP At Age 28
Kobe Got His 1st Finals MVP At Age 31
LeBron Chokes ?
FG% Since 2000 In Game Winning Shot Attempts
Kobe Bryant - (31-103) - 30% LeBron James- (21-68)- 31%
* Kobe Has More Attempts Because He's Been in The Leauge Longer.
Kobe Has Been in The Leauge For 17 Years.
LeBron Has Been in The Leauge For 10 Years.
Season MVP's Kobe - 1 (2008) LeBron - 4 (2009,2010,2012,2013)
Career Triple Doubles Kobe- 19 LeBron- 36
Career PPG Kobe- 25.5 PPG LeBron- 27.6 PPG
Career APG Kobe- 4.8 APG LeBron- 6.9 APG
Career RPG Kobe- 5.3 RPG LeBron- 7.3 RPG
NBA Draft Selections Kobe - 14th Overall (Charlotte Hornets) LeBrona 1st Overall ( Cleveland Cavaliers )
Kobe is 34 Years Old Right Now He Has 5 Rings ( 2 Finals MVP)
LeBron is 28 Years Old Right Now He Has 1 Ring ( 1 Finals MVP)
They Are 6 Years Apart . Jordan Got His 1st Ring At The Same Age As LeBron . He Has More Than Kobe.
LeBron is The 1st Player Ever in Team USA History To Record A Triple-Double .
Not To Mention That LeBron James Has Beaten Kobe Bryant Twice On Christmas Day In Kobe's Home Court Staples Center In Blowouts.
•2009- Cavaliers 102 - Lakers 87 (LeBron 26 Pts , 9 Ast , 4 Reb) •2010- Heat 96 - Lakers 80 (LeBron 27 Pts , 11 Reb , 10 Ast)
Lebron James shot a career high 40% from the three point line this season. Kobe has never shot 40% from deep in a single season in his NBA career.
AGE TO AGE COMPARISON AT AGE 28
Kobe 3 rings, 0 Finals MVP, 0 MVP Lebron 1 ring, 1 Finals MVP, 3 MVP
REGULAR SEASON
Points: Kobe 19,296 - Lebron 20,804 Steals: Kobe 1,170 - Lebron 1,306 Blocks: Kobe 467 - Lebron 638 Assists: Kobe 3,561 - Lebron 5,227 Rebounds: Kobe 4,073 - Lebron 5,481 3Pt Made: Kobe 936 - Lebron 1,005 FG%: Kobe 45% - Lebron 49% Games Played: Kobe 784 - Lebron 755
PLAYOFFS
Points: Kobe 3,053 - Lebron 3,275 Steals: Kobe 174 - Lebron 195 Blocks: Kobe 94 - Lebron 109 Assists: Kobe 586 - Lebron 772 Rebounds: Kobe 647 - Lebron 998 3Pt Made: Kobe 145 - Lebron 159 FG%: Kobe 44% - Lebron 47% Games Played: Kobe 131 - Lebron 115
At this point LeBron is no doubt better than Kobe . And He Aint Even Done. He's Barely Getting Started. Kobe's Career Is Whining Down Already. Even if LeBron Doesnt Get More Rings Than Kobe He Is Still The Better Player. You Do Not Determine A Players Greatness On Rings Or Else Bill Russell Would Be The Best. He Has 11 Rings. Robert Horry Has 7. Does That Mean He's Better Than Kobe ? No. Hell, that means Luke Walton is better than John Stockton and Karl Malone. You mean to tell me, Dominique Jones is better than Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, and Allen Iverson? You don't even know who Jones is do you? Bottom Line is Lebron > Kobe |

| Bro, MJ is a human like us. Even if he's the best at basketball, that's only his opinion. |

OP is an idiot.
Even though I think LeBron is better, most of these are weak reasons.
Plus, learn to use proper grammar and not capitalize EVERY damn word in your sentences. |

People Criticize LeBron James For Needing To Join a Team Full Of All-Stars ?
Jordan - Pippen - Grant (All-Stars) All three drafted by the bulls
Billups - Wallace - Hamilton (All-Stars) Dtown in 04 was more like the big 5 and Billups and Hamilton weren't free agent acquisitions they where traded
Parker - Ginobli - Duncan (All-Stars) All acquired through draft
Pierce - Allen - Garnett (All-Stars) 1 Trade and FA pick up
Kobe - Bynum - Gasol (All-Stars) 1 FA pick up with 2 drafted and 1 that wasn't even consider a amazing player until 3 seasons into his career
And also when did you ever see any of thees guy make the spectacle of a decision that only honestly takes a few minutes to make?
uhhhh no one
And outside of that Kobe is the better Champion and Leader Imo and I think we can all agree Lebron is the better athlete but aside from that niether should ever be called the greatest player ever
Neither of them hold top 10 in all major statics in the game and no one does it's a non existent ideal that is only opinion
MJ was the most influental on sports LBJ was the best athelete Kobe is the best winner/champion out of the three and this is excluding Kareem Bill Russell and Larry bird

| @CheeseyMacral, Lebron has a higher field goal. He doesn't take the spotlight everynight and try to take over scoring for the whole team. I don't hat kobe, I just think lebron is a more mature player. |

Lol with the playoff stats.
You said it yourself, Kobe had a BETTER TEAM. You don't get insane stats on a good TEAM because you play as a TEAM and every all-star of that TEAM would like his/her touches of the ball. He doesn't have insane stats because his TEAM helps out.
You don't get amazing stats on a great team. 5 players can't hog the spotlight unlike a go-to-guy on a one man team. |

| Let's continue this argument when he reaches the amount of years Kobe has played. Your stats tend to decrease with age. These "god-like" stats will start to decline once his prime is over. |
