    Kobe: Better footwork, far superior post game, way better handles, insane fadeaway, knows how to draw fouls more, far superior shooter (outside of the key look up %s) 3PT is about the same but Kobe also took alot harder ones, so for there % to be the same is crazy, better defender (The whole 1 through 5 narrative is a myth created by blocking trash Tiago Splitter). Who is more SKILLED? Kobe easily, going to the basket 90% of the time because you are stronger than your defender doesnt come close to Kobes skill LMFAO

Plus LeBron can guard all positions and has one of the highest IQs is basketball. Then again. How is Kobe more skilled. I thought so too but know I think about it, LeBron is for sure more skilled. And LeBron guarding all positions isn't a myth. They put LeBron on Tim Duncan before.

      He literally has 1% better 3PT% (which points to Kobe having more skill at the 3pt because of the harder shots he takes from that distance), also that is bound to go down even more when his career is all set and done idiot, and if you want to go that route, Barkley averaged more points, assists, rebounds, had a better FG% 3PT% AND FT% than Timmy D but does that mean he is better or more skilled? NO LMAO, and who has he guarded thats a 5 and locked them down, I vividly remember him getting torched trying to guard prime D rose ahaha

Of course he's not going to win finals mvp at that age, but the fact he was part of that duo at that age is amazing.
    Oh and he was able to go to the finals 3 more times w/o Shaq in his late 20s and he didn't have Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love etc. etc. and don't say Pau Gasol is on the level of any of these players!

      @saberplaytop 6 років тому +17

      "Maybe in scoring but thats about it". Well, yes, that is where the majority of skill is involved: the ability to put the ball in the basket.
      Is rebounding a skill? Yes, but not to the same degree as scoring. Not to mention that Lebron is simply taller and larger and plays a different position, so it is only natural for him to be a better rebounder. Him being a better rebounder has nothing to do with skill, but with body, size, and position. If Kobe were 6'8 250 he'd average 7,8 rebounds a game too.
      Passing? Lebron is the more consistent passer than Kobe, but at the same time he has a higher usage rate and has the ball in his hands most of the hands, and takes on the role of facilitator, so he will get more assists. Anyone who has watched Kobe over his career knows he could go out and drop 10 times at will if he wanted to.
      Did you forget defense? Lebron is a more versatile defender because he is larger. But he is not an elite defender. Kobe was an elite defender, hence why he has 9 first team all defense selections. He could consistently shut down the man he was guarding. Lebron's versatility has nothing to do with skill, Kobe's defensive prowess is skill.

      Dwayne Jonez That has to be one of the stupidest arguments I’ve ever read. When you have different builds you work on different skill sets. For example, if you are 7 feet tall you’re going to work on post moves and rebounding and focus less on ball handling and passing and vice versa with 6 footers. Saying which skill sets require more or less skill is completely objective and there’s no way you could definitively say one playstyle is harder than another. Your argument is giving an example body almost identical to Kobe’s so of course his set of skills is going to be better suited for it. I could flip your argument around and say if they were both 6’10 280 pounds who would be better and the obvious answer would be Lebron because his set of skills fit better with that larger frame.

      @@MrBacon-ou1kw This has to be one of the stupidest statements. 6'10 280 pounds Kobe would break every record ever established in the NBA. The records would be set so high that nobody would ever get close again. Couple reasons why Kobe was the best was because of HIS MIND, IQ & WILL. 3 big things that Lebron lacks. The only thing Lebron has over Kobe is his freak athleticism, take away that one single advantage and it automatically becomes a no contest win for KOBE. EZ MONEY

      It’s not fair to say who would be better at the same size. In that case Iverson would be the greatest. Lebrons footwork, speed, creating space, etc is worse than Kobe’s partially BECAUSE the fact that he’s bigger. Bigger guys never move as well as smaller guys. That doesn’t mean Dirk and Duncan aren’t super skilled, even if they can’t do half of the stuff that Kobe can do.
      All this being said, I agree with you for the most part. Kobe is overall a more skillful player. But Lebron is more skillful in certain things, specifically on the playmaking side or off ball defense. Lebron is also better at finishing around the rim, Kobe was great at it too, but Lebron is better. And that is skill, not size. Lebrons efficiency around the rim is comparable to 7 foot centers, he’s just really good at driving and finishing.

    • @balla2828
      @balla2828 4 роки тому +1

      ScopeWorth its size. His whole game and finishing around the rim is due to sheer size and athleticism. The main skill Lebron possesses is his court vision. Other than that he loses in all other skill departments. Kobes IQ and mind is what puts him over Lebron. You cant possibly argue that Lebron is smarter. Last but not least the difference in killer instinct is the icing on the cake. We both know Kobe wins in that regard as well.

Man you're high af, everybody even 9 years old know that lebron's iq is the highest in NBA HISTORY, even skip bayless said it himself, and you're putting mind and mentality in the same sentence i don't see a difference between those two, the only thing kobe is better than lebron is creating shots. Lebron james leads his team to victory, kobe's mentality is an inspiration, but it backfires sometimes when he just ditch out his team to take the difficult shot, that's why he couldn't make the most out of his teams. Of course in a one on one contest everybody would take kobe, but if i wanna win, i'm taking lebron all day because if you had lebron in your team, you know you're winning over 50 games, and don't start off about last season, he was injured and lakers basically threw their season out of their windows when Lebron sit out for like 10 games or something.

      1. Stats do not tell the entire story, dude. AD has better numbers than him, but is he the leader of the team? LeBron is a better rebounder than Kobe and Kobe is a better scorer because of the different positions they play. Okay let me start:
      2. LBJ in Miami was definitely an elite defender, but even from 2014 to 2019, he would've just let players get past him easily when he was too lazy to even guard. He'd blame his teammates for his defensive lapses. And don't get me started on what Jason Terry and JJ Barea did to him in the 2011 finals. I can't justify LBJ being a better defender overall if he doesn't consistently play defense, even though he was a beast for most of his time in Miami. LeBron has 5 all defensive first team selections (6 overall) -- Kobe never took a night off and gave it his all on defense and offense every night. 9 time all defensive first team and 12 all defensive teams in total.
      3. From a skill set, Kobe was better than LeBron at ball handling, shooting mid range, shooting 3 pointers, footwork, creativity on dunks (lol just my opinion), hitting fadeaway jumpers, 1v1 situations, free throw shooting, clutch moments, playing off ball on both offense and defense and mentality -- LeBron is a better finisher at the rim, scoring on the inside, playmaking, durability, and is more efficient, while being bigger, stronger and taller than Kobe.
      4. LeBron would literally shoot closer to the basket while Kobe was a threat at all times from anywhere (3 point line, paint, 20 Ft out, etc.). Bron was finally able to shoot consistently until he got to Miami.
      5. LeBron is a great player, but why does he flop so much? Like I respect him as a great player, but he better than that. FYI, Kobe never flopped in a game.
      6. Team success is great, but when your second best player is another top 5 player in the world, it's expected that your team are in the top 3 teams in the league
      7. IMO LBJ is great, he's just not as good as Kobe was. Like in a 1v1 situation in their primes, Kobe wouldn't lose is what I think. (P.S. this debate would be endless lol)

    As a scorer, Kobe is definitely more "skilled." His midrange game is far better than Lebron's. Look at their FG% by distance:
    3-10 ft: Kobe is at 44.8%, Lebron is at 42.4%
    10-16 ft: Kobe is at 43.9%, Lebron is at 36.7%
    16 ft to 3 pt line: Kobe is at 40.2%, Lebron is at 38.5%
    Lebron's shot selection is better, as he takes most of his shots at 0-3 ft, and that's what makes his overall FG% so high, but he is not more skilled at scoring the basketball in a variety of ways.

      Night Mare Like I said footwork, yes and maybe offball. But Kobe’s post moves were fade-aways and pump fake/pivots. Just cuz Kobe played out the post more doesn’t mean Lebron doesn’t have the skill to do it. When he decides to, he bullies ppl and is successful. you can make a great case for Kobe being better offensively but no way defensively. Lebron was a great versatile on ball defender guarding 1-4 positions, and even better off ball which is where the majority of his steals came from. Then there’s help defense, hence all of lebrons chasedown blocks. Also defensive rebounding and fast break transitioning, he was much better than Kobe. Lebron stopped stopped playing defense after 14 seasons and only in the regular season cuz he was asked to do so much. In the playoffs he showed you that he was still capable of ELITE defense. He might not the goat, but Lebron is the most skilled player of all time

The man who was constantly shooting over double teams because the defenders had no better choice, the man who was a far better perimeter shooter in his prime. (Took more shots yes but 85 percent of his shots were under constant duress. Was still a way better open jump shot shooter than Lebron, better free throw shooter by far, better in the post, never showed any signs of fear in the biggest moments of any games. ALWAYS showed no sign of excuses, never cheated the fans by sitting out games cause he was strategizing about the playoffs or whatever the reason might be. Kobe is to this past generation what Jordan was in the 90’s. The Best Player in the game.

    To say Bron is more skilled than Kobe based off stats literally proves nothing. Skill is based off technique.

    I love Shannon, but I can’t agree with Shannon on this one... Kobe has amazed me much more then Lebron. Analytics this and that 🐃💩......... when a dude has your jaw dropping it’s a feeling like no other. Kobe the mamba Bryant has left me speechless way more than Lebron has.

    Better footwork, better shooter, better defender, better ballhandler, better postmoves. LeBron for the most part is just a bully using his size.

      hector cervantes well LeBron is a better scorer, passer, rebounder, more efficient, Kobe made tougher shots but shot a lot more so some are bound to go in, better ball handler that’s debatable as LeBron is effectively the point guard of every teams he’s been on and is as I said before a better passer, footwork is great but LeBron is not far behind. Better post moves LeBron is more efficient down low so I have to give that to him, not at all a better defender as LeBron has shown to guard all 5 positions and completely eliminate point guards from games. So I guess LeBron is more skilled.
