Another day, another peer of Kobe and Lebron who EASILY pick Kobe over Lebron. Yes bron played longer and had the better longevity. Kobe’s peak was SUBSTANTIALLY higher. It’s not close. Wake up, X, Kobe clears bron…EASILY.
"Our Generation of playing, My 15 years of playing basketball, Kobe Bryant was the BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER IN THE NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION... WITHOUT FUCKEN QUESTION!!" -
Kenyon Martin and his take on Kobe Bryant on Gilbert's Arenas Podcast
Anytime these peers of both Kobe and Lebron go on record they 99% of the time declaratively choose Kobe over Lebron. Not only they, most of the time they put Kobe second behind only Jordan. Wake up people, KOBE CLEARS Bron. And he ALWAYS has.
Here's five minutes of players who played against Kobe, LeBron and even an older MJ telling you Kobe is the best or number two 🤷🏽♂️ These guys don't go by stats or media narratives. This the most important answer/opinion.
This is fantastic context here. Also Kobe led the entire NBA Playoff field in clutch scoring that postseason run…the Kobe slander has to stop. It’s reaching critical levels.

Let’s not forget that the year prior to that season, both Den & Clev were 17-65. So they were equally bad w/out each player. Denver had a larger increase in wins while playing a drastically more difficult schedule in a much harder conference. That’s when the Lebron lie began.
@statmuse
I don’t know who exactly needs to hear this. But Kobe and Shaq were the best duo of all time. It’s not particularly close. They’re not the most accomplished, but Kobe was the BEST full court perimeter player from 2001 on and Shaq was the the BEST front court player.

4/13/16. I’ve seen every game Kobe ever played & was in Staples for his career finale game. I also sat 3 rows behind LA’s bench on April 8 in New Orleans. Kobe could barely walk. Yet he did what he did against Utah 5 days later. That game was a microcosm for his entire career.

Probably because Giannis averaged 35, 13, 5, 1.2, 1.8 on 61% shooting in what was arguably the greatest finals series played in the last 40 years.

Hakeem and Kobe have the two best multi year title runs ever. EVER. Better even than Jordan when you look at supporting cast and competition. I’m not saying Jordan shouldn’t be one—he should be. But when factoring THAT playoff run in for Kobe PLUS HIS OTHER THREE. He should be 2.

In 2007-08 when Kobe won the MVP, night scoring averages in the NBA was 99.9 point/game. It is 115.2 this season. That is the highest post-merger (1976) in moder NBA history. These comparisons cannot be real. Just make it stop.

Jordan was 21 his rookie year. He played under 20 games his 2nd year (broken foot) and in 95 (retirement). He then retired at 34. That’s 11 full years. He led the league in scoring 10 of those 11 & was 1st team all nba DEFENSE 9 times. People really think this is close 😂 💀
Michael Jordan did so many things at a top level besides scoring. He's the best shot blocking guard Ive ever seen. He would even protect the rim vs big guys in the paint.

He still led both teams in scoring and only two players on both teams combined shot over .500 in that game. It was a grueling and brutal defensive battle. But as was mostly the case in his career, he found a way. Also led the fourth in scoring and made 2 fts with 25 seconds left.
Here's what Kobe "getting carried" looked like in the 2001 playoffs (16 games):
