THIS IS NOT OUR WORK. SOMETHING I FOUND A FEW YEARS AGO. However, we want to hear your opinion. Whos better? Lebron James or Kobe Bryant? Well, lets look at the numbers... LeBron vs Kobe LeBron Took The Cleveland Cavaliers To The NBA Finals in Just His 3rd Season (21 Years Old). Kobe Made His 1st NBA Finals Appearance in 2000 His 4th Season (22 Years Old) Cavs Starting 5 in 2007 Mo Williams , Delonte West , LeBron James , Drew Gooden , Zydranus Illgauskas Lakers Starting 5 in 2000 Derek Fisher , Kobe Bryant , Rick Fox , Robert Horry , Shaquile ONeal Lakers Had The Big 3 - Kobe , Horry , ONeal . Cavs- LeBron James in His 3rd Season , Not Fully Developed At His Best Playing With No All Stars . Kobe Was Not At His Full Potential But Shaq Was At His Prime Which Is Why He Was Named Finals MVP in All 3 Years. People Criticize LeBron James For Needing To Join a Team Full Of All-Stars ? Jordan - Pippen - Grant (All-Stars) Billups - Wallace - Hamilton (All-Stars) Parker - Ginobli - Duncan (All-Stars) Pierce - Allen - Garnett (All-Stars) Kobe - Bynum - Gasol (All-Stars) So Why Do People Criticize LeBron? Because They Cant Accept The Fact That He Left Cleveland After Giving it His All For 7 Years There . He Led Them To An NBA Finals Appearance , Twice The Best Record in The NBA (Back To Back) . Best Home Record . 2 Eastern Conference Finals Appearances. By Himself (Star-Player Wise) Kobe By Himself (Star-Player Wise) 2005-2006 Lakers Starting 5 Smush Parker , Kobe Bryant , Luke Walton , Lamar Odom , Kwame Browm Record (45-37) 8th Seed Lost in 1st Round To The Phoenix Suns Lakers 2006-2007 Starting 5 Jordan Farmar , Kobe Bryant , Vladimir Radmonivic , Kwame Brown , Andrew Bynum Record (42-40) 7th Seed Lost In 1st Round To The Phoenix Suns . That Same Year While Kobe Was Getting Eliminated , LeBron Was Leading His Team into The NBA Finals. Also Kobe Was 28 Years Old At This Time (Same Age LeBron Got His 1st Ring) Kobe At Age 28 - Losses in 1st Round (Back To Back Years) LeBron At Age 28 - Season MVP (3rd) , NBA Champion , Finals MVP Olympic Gold Medal . Not To Mention The Only Two Players in History To Accomplish All That in 1 Year Was Jordan And LeBron. LeBron Got His 1st Finals MVP At Age 28 Kobe Got His 1st Finals MVP At Age 31 LeBron Chokes ? FG% Since 2000 In Game Winning Shot Attempts Kobe Bryant - (31-103) - 30% LeBron James- (21-68)- 31% * Kobe Has More Attempts Because Hes Been in The Leauge Longer. Kobe Has Been in The Leauge For 17 Years. LeBron Has Been in The Leauge For 10 Years. Season MVPs Kobe - 1 (2008) LeBron - 4 (2009,2010,2012,2013) Career Triple Doubles Kobe- 19 LeBron- 36 Career PPG Kobe- 25.5 PPG LeBron- 27.6 PPG Career APG Kobe- 4.8 APG LeBron- 6.9 APG Career RPG Kobe- 5.3 RPG LeBron- 7.3 RPG NBA Draft Selections Kobe - 14th Overall (Charlotte Hornets) LeBrona 1st Overall ( Cleveland Cavaliers ) Kobe is 34 Years Old Right Now He Has 5 Rings ( 2 Finals MVP) LeBron is 28 Years Old Right Now He Has 1 Ring ( 1 Finals MVP) They Are 6 Years Apart . Jordan Got His 1st Ring At The Same Age As LeBron . He Has More Than Kobe. LeBron is The 1st Player Ever in Team USA History To Record A Triple-Double . Not To Mention That LeBron James Has Beaten Kobe Bryant Twice On Christmas Day In Kobes Home Court Staples Center In Blowouts. •2009- Cavaliers 102 - Lakers 87 (LeBron 26 Pts , 9 Ast , 4 Reb) •2010- Heat 96 - Lakers 80 (LeBron 27 Pts , 11 Reb , 10 Ast) Lebron James shot a career high 40% from the three point line this season. Kobe has never shot 40% from deep in a single season in his NBA career. AGE TO AGE COMPARISON AT AGE 28 Kobe 3 rings, 0 Finals MVP, 0 MVP Lebron 1 ring, 1 Finals MVP, 3 MVP REGULAR SEASON Points: Kobe 19,296 - Lebron 20,804 Steals: Kobe 1,170 - Lebron 1,306 Blocks: Kobe 467 - Lebron 638 Assists: Kobe 3,561 - Lebron 5,227 Rebounds: Kobe 4,073 - Lebron 5,481 3Pt Made: Kobe 936 - Lebron 1,005 FG%: Kobe 45% - Lebron 49% Games Played: Kobe 784 - Lebron 755 PLAYOFFS Points: Kobe 3,053 - Lebron 3,275 Steals: Kobe 174 - Lebron 195 Blocks: Kobe 94 - Lebron 109 Assists: Kobe 586 - Lebron 772 Rebounds: Kobe 647 - Lebron 998 3Pt Made: Kobe 145 - Lebron 159 FG%: Kobe 44% - Lebron 47% Games Played: Kobe 131 - Lebron 115 At this point LeBron is no doubt better than Kobe . And He Aint Even Done. Hes Barely Getting Started. Kobes Career Is Whining Down Already. Even if LeBron Doesnt Get More Rings Than Kobe He Is Still The Better Player. You Do Not Determine A Players Greatness On Rings Or Else Bill Russell Would Be The Best. He Has 11 Rings. Robert Horry Has 7. Does That Mean Hes Better Than Kobe ? No. Hell, that means Luke Walton is better than John Stockton and Karl Malone. You mean to tell me, Dominique Jones is better than Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, and Allen Iverson? You dont even know who Jones is do you? Bottom Line is Lebron > Kobe No Disrespect To Kobe Bryant . He is One of the Greatest Players Ever. Honestly I Dont like Kobe But I Learned To Respect Him. I dont even like LBJ either. But I respect and give credit where credit is due. All Time Greatest Players 1. Michael Jordan 2. LeBron James 3. Kobe Bryant Discuss...
