Kobe or Lebron

Kobe

LeBron

MJ is without doubt the greatest to ever play the game, no one can seriously disagree with that. Kobe has the runs on the board so as it stands right now he is ahead of LeBron but LeBron still has many years left so he will take over in the end.

LeBron James is a great player, a freak in many ways but he will never be as good as MJ, never.

No.

For the record...

Jordan

Magic and a host of other players.

KG 10th?

KG 10th?

15-20. Can't remember what I ranked him last year.

Like Duncan, he may have moved up a spot on the ranking due to his resurgence in the past two seasons as a center.

This, and then this:



Am I missing something?

Well it's very debateable with Kobe isnt it.

 

[jod23]

Lol love it. Isaiah and Magic had killer instinct because Magic won 5 rings and Isiah hit 20 odd in a qtr once. LeBron has hit pretty much 20 in a qtr and to win 5 rings doesn't mean killer instinct lol.
The Jordan layups back then happen all the time now, it was such a big deal back then cause it didn't happen much. James won't go in the contest cause what's the point? The contest is not laughable and all prop driven.
LeBron is better defensively.
I watched most of Jordan's career, how could I not. All from the Tar Heels to the Wizards.
Of course it's easy to say Jordan's the greatest even though I think James is the best player I've seen all round. James has to win a few more rings and keep playing at his MVP level to be in the discussion,
I'm done with this now. Made my point

Not just because of that, but you can see it in there play. You dont see that with LeBron, he was so passive and meek in that loss to Spurs in Game 3. Magic, Isiah and Jordan wouldnt have stood for that.

Jordan layups happen all the time? And you claim to have watched him play.

Well you have your opinion about LeBron been the best player you have seen but 99% of the rest of us know it's Jordan, so enjoy your opinion.

Jordan benefitted from expansion.

Discuss.

Jordan benefitted from expansion.

Discuss.

Well expansion was always going to happen. I dont think anybody benefited from it, every team just adjusted to it.

Interesting.

 

[peternorth]

Him and Russel can share that

and he knows it!

therefore wins against GCS17FC and GWSGFC should not be taken seriously

 

[El_Scorcho]

LeBron is a better player but Kobe is a winner, and a better leader.

Jordan is like the best of both

 

[Oliver King]

therefore wins against GCS17FC and GWSGFC should not be taken seriously

Or losses...

you may debate the essence of lebrone vs jordan here

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

LeBron also does that nowadays.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

Kobe thrives in the moments when the game is close and he has the chance to get his team the win, it's something Jordan became a legend of doing on a consistent basis.

Do you mean thrive as in making the shots or not afraid to take the shots cause Kobe is probably the most overated clutch shooter in the last secs of games ever.

 

[Kayaz]

Lebron has proven especially this season that he isn't afraid to make the clutch play in the dying seconds of a game. I think Lebron is also a better leader too, Read an article or a Grantland podcast (cant remember) a few months back from Bill Simmons saying how kobe was very overrated as a leader and that jordan was much better in that area, also Lebron gets his team involved more, just think overall Lebron is a much better team mate and a better leader.

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

He walked out on his teammates to join the Heat though, teammates were left with little flashy cameras he bought them all.

Teammate on the court. Off of it, it may be a different story.

 

[Drummer_19]

You mean like what Kobe threatened to do after his hof center left but stayed after he got another hof center delivered to him?

 

[Kayaz]

He walked out on his teammates to join the Heat though, teammates were left with little flashy cameras he bought them all.

He wanted to win, and win now, and there was no chance he was going to with those scrubs.

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Yeah, I would expect more from people on an AFL forum, comparing rings?

ahhh ok so Nathan Ablett >>> Gary Ablett Snr?

Or Dermie 5 medals >>> Carey only 2?

Comparing AFL to basketball, wow.

LeBron is the better player but he hasnt got what Kobe or MJ has... Killer instinct and the rings. So lucky that Allen/Bosh bailed him out of game 6.

Posters like you man have no clue, allen bailed him out? fair enough lebron had 2 bad turnovers but have some common sense, wouldnt even be in that position if he didnt play like a beast in the 4th OR make that 3 pointer before the allen 3, get some sense, lebron scored 18 in the 4th and OT yet 1 allen 3 is the reason they won?

 

[Drummer_19]

Or ever got to play with a guy who had arguably the greatest peak of all time.

 

[peternorth]

im happy with kobe in my team

Were the Heat down 10 though to start the fourth because LeBron had gone 3-14 or whatever?

You can go back and forth all you want. Kobe has the runs on the board. LeBron is still in his prime and has time to get more rings.

Jordan is better than both combined

Well what did Allen or Bosh do in the first 3 qtrs to warrant the praise? Bron destroyed Parker on the defensive end and was sluggish on the offensive side, I think Lebron will go down as a better player then kobe, but not jordan, jordan was a once in a lifetime type of player, but Lebron has the POTENTIAL to get there, it's gonna be hard though.
