Bron is the best finisher / driver of all time, you can't stop him when he's attacking. The size, strength and atleticism combine with great ball handling 🔥
Facts Renzo...alot of Bron haters feel because he's so blessed with size and power that he has no finesse...wroooong, wroooong...in my Charlie Murphy Rick James voice! That's what makes MJ so unique in his own way as one of the greatest drivers of all time...he used more intellectual finesse when driving because he was never as big as Bron. I love them equally.
I was told lebron couldn’t get to his spot in crunch time but i just saw lebron get to his spot in crunch time and hit the dagger against the guy known for getting to his spots in crunch time.
It’s just the fact that he doesn’t do it often. Game winners like this are my favorite from Bron cause he’s not settling for a step back 3. This is why being a great 1v1 player matters. Kobe was best at it imo but when Bron decides to work for a shot he’s unstoppable.
Why does everyone have to hate, can’t we just enjoy the two best basketball players of the last 15 years going at it. if you love basketball you love Kobe. if you love basketball you love LeBron.

A glaring recurring theme in these matchups during Kobe's prime is the Lakers defense blowing leads in the 4th quarter due to a lapse of defensive effort by the team. Mike Brown was integral in the Cavs having a good defense. Kobe could be on fire but the team couldn't hold defensively this is also the reason in 2006 playoffs vs the Suns why the Lakers blew that series. Having guys like Ariza, Artest, and healthy Bynum, Gasol, and an overall commitment to that side of the ball later on would spearhead the Lakers to 3 straight NBA Finals appearances.
So you’re essentially saying Kobe’s supporting cast wasn’t good enough, despite the fact that Lebron’s supporting cast around this same time was WORSE? huh
10:25 you can see Lebron absolutely lock Kobe down. He couldn't go anywhere and had to take a bad shot. Now just imagine this defense on MJ too. Lebron is the goat. He could do it all when he was younger.
Lol Kobe was going to take a bad shot whether someone played good defense on him or not. Kobe simply was a bad shot taker. That’s why people loved him, because he simply made a lot of those shots. But that’s also why he was slightly less efficient than players today like Kawhi, Demar Derozan, and Jimmy Butler, etc.

bron is miles ahead of kobe, there’s just levels to this man, i don’t understand how people can genuinely sit here and say kobe is better player, it’s disrespectful to brons legacy
I miss hungry Lebron, even though that jumpshot was flat and awkward dude was absolutely a beast. Even though he is more skilled now, better jumper, better defender, dude seems like he is missing something now that he had back then. He took the challenge against kobe, would he even bother now?
@@ericdupree8603 I'm mostly agreeing with him that he didn't force the issue against other stars as much after this point. He wasn't taking the 1v1 and it cost him some wins, primarily against Durant down the line
Anyone commenting actually from Ohio...and what would define 1v1 and forcing within a team sport🤨🤔? Personally I don't think either superstar could contain the other in prime... however, when it boils down to natural gifts and physique, I'd put money on Bron if all are in their prime. I've seen no one in 22 years make it difficult for him to get to the rim, impossible... especially since he doesn't have the character to naturally shoot his team out the game, within a team sport.
No he was not a better defender than Jordan. Jordan was faster, stronger, bigger hands, had equal if not slightly better defensive footwork and more tenacious.
you can see how one dimensional LeBrons Game is to kobe. Kobe is waaaaaay more skilled than Lebron. Pause your screen at 5:58 and laugh at Lebron's horrible stats compared to kobe.
qwertyuiop554433 but both those years lakers won the rings...kobe was on top. Besides go back and look at kobe's playoff run those 2 seasons...the dude was killin it. Still was the best.
Except LeBron was FAR more efficient than Kobe. LeBron had a 56.5 FG% while Kobe had a 46.3 FG%. That's an over 10% difference and the difference in scoring was only .5%! That's not even a full point! Let's not forget that LeBron made the most FGs in the league without even shooting the most! That crappy honor belongs to who else but Kobe. LeBron is streets ahead of Kobe in scoring and he doesn't even care about that. He would much rather set up his teammates. LeBron shits on Kobe.
Damn lebron lowkey owned kobe in this game. But this aint prime kobe anyway kobes prime was 2003 - 2007. But then kobe got lebron back in 2009 season by hitting that fade away in lebrons face and winning a ring
Their teams at the time was pretty comparable, slight edge to the lakers. Kobe played arrogant hero ball while Lebron stayed getting his teammates involved.
Look what happened. Kobe is not selfish, he passed it to his teammate, and he was too afraid to shoot so unexpectedly he passed it to Kobe. It's not Kobe's fault that everyone relies on him.

@@impacc4182I notice alotta insecure men throw around the word gay. Might be some self hatred going on. And I wasn't even in the Convo, but real ones don't even throw around the word gay. At least not any authentic negros like myself. Lmao! Take care,I'm just joshing wit you
bron is miles ahead of kobe, there’s just levels to this man, i don’t understand how people can genuinely sit here and say kobe is better player, it’s disrespectful to brons legacy
They just haters Kobe my favorite ever but he isn’t on lbj level
hahahahahahah if kobe is so skilled why is he a career 45% shooter and missed 2000 more shots than made
Back when LeBron was a killer
Larry hughes is guarding Kobe..Prime Michael Jordan would destroy him..
The 4 time MVP, Season PER record setter, and 2 time champion needs to improve his skills?... Yeah, right.
Kobe will never be as good as LeBron. End of the conversation.
Amazing play by both teams. Looks like finals already. Tnx4sharing. 👀
❤️the Kobe and LeBron match up’s 💯🔥2 great players…….
when a 23 year old gives a man in his prime that WORK!
My goodness, they’re actually playing DEFENSE!!
I miss hungry Lebron, even though that jumpshot was flat and awkward dude was absolutely a beast. Even though he is more skilled now, better jumper, better defender, dude seems like he is missing something now that he had back then. He took the challenge against kobe, would he even bother now?
Miami really changed him for the worse
@@poly_g6068 No it didn’t. His game & understanding winning basketball rose even higher./
@@ericdupree8603 I'm mostly agreeing with him that he didn't force the issue against other stars as much after this point. He wasn't taking the 1v1 and it cost him some wins, primarily against Durant down the line
Anyone commenting actually from Ohio...and what would define 1v1 and forcing within a team sport🤨🤔? Personally I don't think either superstar could contain the other in prime... however, when it boils down to natural gifts and physique, I'd put money on Bron if all are in their prime. I've seen no one in 22 years make it difficult for him to get to the rim, impossible... especially since he doesn't have the character to naturally shoot his team out the game, within a team sport.
@@poly_g6068the wins against Durant with golden state had ntn to do with 1v1’s that was the whole reason that made GSW so deadly
next beast upload!! kobe outplayed by the king, the usual.
GOAT James doing 🐐 things
LBJ is the GOAT!
right. you just prove developing lebron is better than prime time kobe
If Kobe couldn’t guard Lebron what make anybody in they right mind think MJ could Lmao and Kobe was a better defender than Mike 💯
No he was not a better defender than Jordan. Jordan was faster, stronger, bigger hands, had equal if not slightly better defensive footwork and more tenacious.
even a cheetah couldnt handle the speed of LeBron lols
It will never be this good again
LeBron was even more athletic here than his years in Miami
that was the time when lbj was actually enjoying basketball to me....
10:24 clamps
you can see how one dimensional LeBrons Game is to kobe. Kobe is waaaaaay more skilled than Lebron. Pause your screen at 5:58 and laugh at Lebron's horrible stats compared to kobe.
I don't remember any of them starters on LeBrons cavaliers 😂😅😊bruh im lmao 🤣😂
Kobe is mainly a scorer, Lebron is a playmaker and can also be a great scorer at times too.
lebron said damnnn after kobe dunked at 4:31😂😂😂😂😂
The last possession of the game is why Kobe takes the shots he takes
My Jesus rosters on both team is fuckin horrible lmaooo kobe and lebron is greatness personified , their both the greatest in what they do
Ugh... those rosters tho...
Lebron still is and has been the best player in the NBA since 07
Umm. No, since '10 or '09
qwertyuiop554433 but both those years lakers won the rings...kobe was on top. Besides go back and look at kobe's playoff run those 2 seasons...the dude was killin it. Still was the best.
not even close
Nah kobe went to the finals those 3 years and won 2. The reason why lbj is looked at as the best right now is cus he's won championships 2 /4 seasons
Mark Jackson was always a Kobe lover. He said Kobe was going to be better than Mike. Don't listen to him.
Only one king, and his name is King James.
Except LeBron was FAR more efficient than Kobe. LeBron had a 56.5 FG% while Kobe had a 46.3 FG%. That's an over 10% difference and the difference in scoring was only .5%! That's not even a full point! Let's not forget that LeBron made the most FGs in the league without even shooting the most! That crappy honor belongs to who else but Kobe. LeBron is streets ahead of Kobe in scoring and he doesn't even care about that. He would much rather set up his teammates. LeBron shits on Kobe.
Just wish LeBron got to the finals to play vs Kobe one of those seasons. Ugh. Didn't hold up his end of the bargain.
Neither did Kobe in 2007, 11, 12
LBJ wave 👋 that pick off against Kobe, (I GOT DIS)
Lebron bullying lakers
That how I no lbj
Damn lebron lowkey owned kobe in this game. But this aint prime kobe anyway kobes prime was 2003 - 2007. But then kobe got lebron back in 2009 season by hitting that fade away in lebrons face and winning a ring
This is definitely prime Kobe, he just didn’t go off in scoring because he had a better team at that point.
WHAT LOL 2006-2010 is Prime Kobe.
Ouch. I hate it when that happens. Poor Varejao
at 8:22
kobe vs LeBron head to head record
LeBron leads 11-5 lmao that's sure is a lot of ass kicking that kobe is doing
lebron>kobe
If I was a “real” lakers fan, I would hate LeBron too! Coming into our house and eating all the food, and leaving a mess. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMFAO KOBE was heated at the end
😂 facts that walk off said it all
He had trash g league teammates no shit
I'm talking before Pau Gasol came over
“Kobe didn’t have enough help!” …..right Bronsexuals?
Their teams at the time was pretty comparable, slight edge to the lakers. Kobe played arrogant hero ball while Lebron stayed getting his teammates involved.
Bron gave Kobe that Akron work, looking like the 🐐
Truly Kobe is a great because of his style in the Game truly a great player.👍🥸🥸
Dude basically been playing a lot average and bellow players for most of his career. That cavs team was trash 🗑️ man
Look what happened. Kobe is not selfish, he passed it to his teammate, and he was too afraid to shoot so unexpectedly he passed it to Kobe. It's not Kobe's fault that everyone relies on him.
