The only this Kobe has over LeBron is Jump Shooting and Clutchness (Idk if this is a word..), LeBron is better at posting up, passing, defending, rebounding, etc. LeBron can get to the rim better IMO too.

Lebron is the better passer and rebounder I agree..Kobe is actually the better post up player believe it or not..Lebron could become better but as of right now Kobe's foot work in the post is unmatched..Lebron is a Great defender..I think they are about even as far as defense..of course Lebron is the better defender now but Kobe was Great in his prime..obviously Kobe is the better shooter

I can't take you serious if you think LBJ has a better post game than Kobe.... That is so wrong on so many levels. Yo have you SEEN Kobe's post game & footwork bro??? Like I'm shocked right now. I've literally NEVER seen anyone say LBJ > Kobe come to the postgame.

@Weezy_KB24 @BlakeJay I'll just take my L and leave.. cause I really didn't start watching basketball till like 2-3 years ago so I don't much about Kobe's post game in his prime.. I'm just going off what I see right now. Can't deny that LeBron doesn't have a post game though.

Kobe was (or is) never better at passing, rebounding, or posting up than LeBron was. Now Kobe is (was) a great defender but I still think LeBron edges him out in that category, but barely. I'm not saying Kobe is a lot worse than LeBron but I'm saying overall LeBron is the better player..

Pretty much everything you said Lebron is better in has to do with his physical presence. Passing wise ya I agree his skill set is better because Lebron can spread the floor alot more than Kobe can but once again once Lebron loses that step to the rim that he has right now I see his passing ablities/options being greatly lowered because the rest of his game is average so teams will be able to defend him better.

Lebron being 28 has another 5 years in his prime which is very good actually but if we can learn anything from straight out of High School players (Kobe, KG, Tmac ETC.) they all tend to break down a lot faster than 2-4 year college players, so realistically that is more than likely 4 years factoring in potential injuries and general old age. So his window of oppurtunity is small so he has to take advantage of these next few years if he wants that GOAT status.

I mean Kobe has a good post up game, but I mean LeBron in the finals just dominated in the paint. He rarely even took Jump shots.

Respect for that one. LBJ has a post-game no doubt, just not on Kobe's level due to Kobe's amazinggggg footwork.



Some random video from YouTube to see just a couple examples.

Aight ima stop defendin Kobe now, it's Lebrons moment...nigga was a beast in the finals..he's gonna be scary these next few years..

I think getting that first ring will take all the pressure off and he can just play freely now..

I redid my top 10 players of all time once Lebron got his ring...I didnt think he would make my top 10 but he was #9 and only 27 years old...

Kobe need to get one more ring so Lebron won't pass em lol

Dope video..


tbh with you I don't know anything about footwork.. I only played 1 year of basketball when I was 5 .
(I know I'm probably self-ethering myself right here)

Just ever since 2-3 years ago I love to watch & play (pick-up) basketball. I missed out.
