      Excellent take. I understand that Kobe wasn't liked. Even JR Smith once mentioned that Kobe was a 9 when compared to MJ as a 10. I don't have a problem if fans prefer MJ over Kobe, but Kobe is also a 10. Greats at that level when comparing MJ, Kobe, and LBJ are 10s. And that's why we continue to have these arguments. Because the variance of greatness between these great players are extremely small.

      Exactly... because Kobe and MJ weren't afraid of ANYONE... win or lose they did it their way... they didn't give the ball to anyone else on the last shot... Kobe was a LEADER... Lebron is just a dude that demands everyone to play EXACTLY as he says and do whatever he wants... Kevin Love was reduced to a corner 3pt shooting role player for god's sake... Chris Bosh was reduced to a catch and shoot player too with Lebron... he never let his teammates really play...
      Also, if Lebron went up against a prime Kobe in finals he would be TRASHED... big time... after Kobe hit 2-3 shots in his faced and started the trash talking, Lebron would be shaking in his shoes...

If only Lebron had MJ's mentality then he might be the GOAT, but now, not even close to MJ.

      Shaq was still better then Kobe in 2004 (as was Duncan).
      2009 is the year Lebron surpassed him and never looked back.
      Kobe was arguably the best over that 4 year span. His team missed the playoffs one year and got bounced in the first round twice.
      Garnett and Duncan make good argumants in that time span as well...
      If you are one of those people who consider Kobe better then Lebron in 09 and 10 because of Lebron's lack of playoff success, then Kobe has no argument from 04 to 08 due to his lack of playoff success.
      Lebron has reigned undisputed for the past decade.
      ...

  • @shotot4697
    @shotot4697 6 років тому +93

    People just listen to Nick Wright instead of taking context into account. The year the Lakers missed the playoffs, Kobe played only 66 games but averaged 28 pts, 6 rebs, and 6 asts. The second leading scorer was Odom who averaged 15 pts, but only played 64 games. The next year, Kobe averaged 35 pts, 5 rebs, and 5 asts and led the Lakers to 45 wins in a conference with TWO 60 win teams. If Anthony Davis, Westbrook, or Lillard averaged these numbers and were the 7th seed, everyone would say they have no help and consider them for MVP. People keep saying LeBron never lost in the first round in that time period, but he had home court advantage with his team ONLY having 50 wins or less because he plays in the EAST. Kobe was the seventh seed because the West was and is too stacked for one player to lead a team to get a top 4 seed.
    Also, Nick Wright keeps saying Kobe blew a 3-1 lead. People keep forgetting that the Lakers were the 7th seed that year. Yes, the 7th seed. They led the 2nd seeded Suns 3-1 thanks to Kobe averaging 28, 5, and 6 and Amare being out till game 5. However, when Amare, one of the best players in the league, came back, the Lakers had no shot. The thing that angered me the most is when Nick Wright said Kobe was only the best player for ONE YEAR. If that is so, how come Kobe was the highest rated player for SIX nba 2k games? How come he made THREE straight finals in the WEST and won TWO and won TWO Finals MVPS? How come he averaged 27.8, 5, and 5 from 2001-2013? How come he was voted FIRST TEAM ALL-DEFENSE 9 times in that span? How come he was the highest paid player in basketball? How come he averaged 32, 7, and 6 against the Magic in the Finals, the team that beat LeBron in the ECF?

    • @sheltonharris1070

      Just face it. Statistically speaking LeBron is the better player. For the culture of basketball Kobe had a huge impact and following. But Kobe will never be up there with the Mount Rushmore of basketball, even if he could drive and force a fade away over five defenders lol. Quite simple, Kobe patterned his game after another all timer, who was better than he was. That alone renounces him as all time great. He's not even the best alive at his own position or his franchise. He's among the greats definitely, but I wouldn't even put him over Jerry West and they played in two different eras for the same franchise.

      To win 5 championships in the western conference is something truly amazing. Western conference is tough, really tough, and kobe still accomplished all that in the west, something Jordan or Lebron couldn't possibly imagine. So in who's the greatest, Kobe certainly deserves to be mention in that conversation, it's a crime not mentioning him in those debates. Jordan of course had more competition in the east than Lebron had. So, getting to the finals every year in the east is a walk in the park, we'll see if LBJ can still get to the finals this year in the west. Now, he has to overcome the Warriors.

  • @back2back379
    @back2back379 6 років тому +153

    Kobe is the far more dangerous scorer, and Lebron has benefited greatly from playing in an era lacking in dominant defensive big men. Let me explain.
    Think of the teams Lebron had trouble winning against: Pistons with Ben Wallace, Spurs with Duncan, Magic with Dwight Howard, Mavericks with Tyson Chandler, Warriors with Andrew Bogut. All of these big men were defensive minded, clog the paint players. That means it's hard to score in the paint against them, and therefore you need a midrange or 3 point game as a scorer. The reason Lebron's overall FG% is so high is because most of his shots come at 0-3 feet. In the midrange, he is worse than Kobe at every distance:
    3-10 feet: Lebron 42.4%, Kobe 44.8%
    10-16 feet: Lebron 36.7%, Kobe 43.9%
    16 ft

    • @delamo8468
      @delamo8468 6 років тому +5

      All true but few have SEEN the game enough to go this deep..Through no fault of his own Lebron happens to play in a league that plays exactly to his strengths - a master of rim running and drive/kick in a league with weak/late rim protection as a rule, maximum spacing and replete with decent 3 pt. shooters that his front offices have wisely surrounded him with. At the same time he provided the perfect poster child to the bball analytics movement who tend to favor "production" in a vacuum and shoo other context (even winning) away as mere sentimentality or confirmation bias. Lebron's branding team and the media have been symbiotic, legitimizing each other to the point that he's just about won the propaganda war not just against Kobe but MJ himself, at least among some demographics that probably constitute a large plurality at this point.

      1. you cannot say one player is better than another only based on how it feels to play them (intangible, not hard facts to back it up) and saying Kobe is better because he doesn't leave off the hook is not enough to justify it
      2. Different players have different opinions (not all players say Kobe is the best!)
      3. Sure the guy played MJ, Kobe and LeBron, but he played MJ when he wasn't the best version of MJ anymore, Played LeBron when LeBron was not yet at his best and played Kobe at his best. If you play someone at his pick and not the others, you can't say he is the best cause that's how I felt when you played them can't you?
      To me, both had good points, but overall Nick understood the good points of the other player but he is right saying "feeling it" is not enough to define who is the best

Mo Williams was not there yet, and Drew Gooden was not that good. It was not a good team around him at all. There's a good reason why the roster the next year looked a lot different.

    He has an argument though. People who played basketball and watched Kobe or MJ or played against them know the deal. They were both incredible defenders most of their careers, Kobe's jumpshot was perfection and he had the greatest footwork I've ever seen to this day. The writers and sports talk people will never revere him as highly as other guys because they care about off the court and personalities and also only look at stats. MJ and Kobe were both way better than even what their stats might tell you. Lebron is great, but as far as straight basketball skills are concerned, MJ and Kobe were on a completely different level. If I was training a young kid to play basketball and build his skillset, I would tell him to watch MJ and Kobe instead of Lebron. Lebron's size/strength allows him to accomplish more on the court, while the other guys didn't have that advantage so they had to be more skilled to compensate.

      For reference, LeBron won games off of the 2015 67 win Warriors when the 2nd best player on that roster at the time was likely fkn Mathew Dellavedova.

He held him scoreless when he was guarding him in one game ffs. The Cavs started losing that series after he had to go to the hospital for dehydration.

      Btw, for your so called deep 2015 Cavs team, it's clear you're just a Kobe fanboy who has no idea what they're talking about. Please tell me what about this rotation around LeBron screams help: Dellavedova, Shumpert, Tristan Thompson, Mozgov, James Jones, JR Smith, & Mike Miller.

It is no wonder the All Star Game is now the way that it is because it was clear to see how dominant the Western conference was. Kobe beat the team that beat LeBron, the Celtics, otherwise they would’ve faced each other and without a doubt, the fact that Kobe is so much more competitive, LeBron would’ve lost yet another Final. I take Kobe over LeBron simply because Kobe is all about hard work. Both Great Legendary players, but Kobe made basketball so much fun to watch.

      Then the LeBron lovers bring up stats

If he is a freak of nature why has he lost all those finals? What about Kareem being a freak of nature , no one ever has had the shot he has the “sky hook”that was an unstoppable shot

If they won that series (and they were 5 seconds away before Thomas three in game 6) that would be one of the biggest upsets in NBA history. Just to name some players on that team: Smush Parker, Kwame Brown, Brian Cook, Ronny Turiaf, Von Wafer, Luke Walton, Chris Mihm, Devean George, Slava Medvedenko, Laron Profit,... without Kobe they would won maximum of 15 games. Only good player was Lamar Odom. He averaged 35+points with 62 pts in 3 qtrs, 81 pts and 4 consecutive 50pts games. One of the greatest seasons of all time. He never had more than 1 all star on his team. And when he get Pau they went to the finals 3 times and won 2 times. On the other hand Lebron had Bosh and Wade and than Irving and Love. He had amazing games in Detroit series in ECF in 2007 but than get swept against Spurs in the finals when he choked just like in 2011 versus Mavs. It is not just about stats, like Jim said. Isn't funny that players like Magic Johnson, DWade, Nowitzki, Jordan, Bird, Pippen all said Kobe is better than Lebron. I don't care what some guy like Nick said. I want these guys opinion.

      Kareem had mediocre success in the playoffs after the 71 chip and at one point missed the playoffs 2 consecutive years in his prime but somehow won an MVP in one of those years SMH.
      Then Kareem got saved by Magic in 1980 where the team became Magic’s team after he won the 80 Finals MVP replacing an injured Kareem playing C, it was a wrap after that. Just like Kobe with Shaq, Kareem was the second option to Magic with Magic being the main option. Magic was the best player & leader of those Showtime Lakers. Somehow the narrative of Kareem of not being the best player on his team doesn’t affect his legacy the same way as Kobe with Shaq.

      Eli Ben there was nothing logical about what he said. It was completely subjective and he literally just said the same thing over and over again. “I played against them”, and this silly platitude about never letting people off the hook... what ever that even means.
      Kobe might very well be the goat. He might be twice as good as the second best player of all time. I certainly wouldn’t agree, but there are just so many ways to analyse this and come to different conclusions. But JJs argument was absolute the worst I have ever heard. Complete trash.

U want to argue kobe amd bron ok but Jordan is different level, different world, different galaxy. Jesus Phil Jackson is on record saying Jordan.

      I don't know - I thought he was just side-stepping every question and not answering it properly and just kept trying to say that he was a player to try and disqualify Nick's arguments.
      Nick is one of the most annoying human beings to ever exist but Jim Jackson was just becoming so defensive when asked about Kobe and how he was down 3-1 - just admit that he did let the other team off the hook. Why was that so hard for him? He's let the other team off the hook countless other times when he's had shocking shooting performances as well so it just seemed like Jim Jackson was being biased tbf.

    • @killydaman
      @killydaman 6 років тому +1

      Jim Jackson here is not being biased he is trying to portray to Nick that his view isnt the only correct view as Nick is a sport journalist all they believe is in the moment and what they believe is the only correct option your clearly bias yourself if you believe this

    • @anonymous0811

      killydaman No they're both clearly being biased - didn't you see how defensive Jim was getting and not answering or admitting clearly that Kobe did let the other team off the hook multiple times - Jim knew he was wrong and still didn't admit it which is obviously bias - I'm not sure how u can see it another way. I don't know how comparing the titles and mvps matter at all either as if he was trying to say that 1 mvp and 5 titles is at all comparable to Jordan kareem or LeBron and its funny how he tried to use stats to back up what he was saying whilst saying that stats aren't the only way to see it.

  • @davone08
    @davone08 6 років тому +67

    Here is some history, starting with this question... In 1986, was Michael Jordan NOT the best player in the league? He average 37 points a game and he was NOT selected as the League MVP. His team was eliminated in the first round by the Celtics. This scenario justifies Jim Jackson's point... Magic Johnson was the league MVP that year and he actually won the NBA Finals to boot! So it's a matter of perspective. LeBron James has NEVER lost in the first round of the playoffs. Michael Jordan lost in the first round THREE times. It's a matter of timing, it's a matter of perspective, it's a matter of good teammates, coaches, etc... No one can put a solidified claim on GOAT because all of these variables play into it... Love them or hate them... Bernard King, Allen Iverson, Tracey McGrady, and Charles Barkley never won a Championship but is their greatness not solidified? We need to enjoy watching these players play while we can... Once they leave we're going to miss them!

Playing in an extremely weak conference, racking up stats, combining all stars in a weak conference... get that out of the league now.
