Kobe vs Lebron

I know you can argue that lebron is better because his ability to drive and take over a game single handedly, but Curry has by far been the best player in the league for 3 years now making it almost impossible to guard and also winning the mvp in one of those years and most likely winning the MVP this year and the NBA championships back to

First, a list of his accomplishments. Kobe was drafted out of highschool at the age of seventeen, broke into the league by winning the Slam Dunk contest in his rookie season, and by age of twenty-five he was a three time world champion. He was the youngest person to be named a NBA All-Star at the age of nineteen. The combination of his talents with the talents of Shaquille O’Neal was the greatest “one-two punch” of all time. That is an objective fact. Shaq himself has even admitted that had the duo stayed together after the 2004 season, they most certainly would have gone on to win additional world championships, but Kobe didn’t need Shaq. When it was all said and done, Kobe ended up with five rings to his name to O’Neals four - all five with the Lakers I might add.

Jordan and James have accomplished many things as an individual and they both took their teams to the next level. They both won the NBA rookie of the year and the NBA all-rookie first team. Lebron is a two time all NBA second team, while Michael only accomplished 1. Michael is a five time NBA most valuable player to Lebron’s two. Michael also was a 14 time time NBA all-star to Lebron’s seven. Lebron was only a NBA scoring champion once, Michael is a ten time NBA scoring champion and three time NBA scoring champion. Since Lebron didn’t go to college he never experience college basketball and to mature his game for the pros like Michael Jordan did, and Michael got many awards while playing for North Carolina. He was awarded twice the consensus NCAA all American first team and led North Carolina to two championships. Michael is also included in a nine time all defensive first team, but Lebron was included only three times. Michael even won two gold medals from the Olympic Games.

This just proves he is the best by beating Kobe Bryant who is considered also as one of the best players of all time.

Kobe came into the league in the most ideal scenario; he was picked by a big market, star studded, rich organization, the Los Angeles Lakers. To add to that, Kobe had 0 pressure due to the other superstar in town, Shaquille O’Neal. Kobe would be the robin to Shaq’s Batman, and by doing so, Kobe would have 3 championships in a row. In historical context, on the NBA’s chess board, Kobe was a knight; he was important but they could do without him. Kobe did not become an important piece until in his ninth year, when he was stranded with NBA journeymen. Comparing them to his old teammates was like comparing minute maid orange juice to Dom Perignon champagne. So, Kobe was granted permission to do whatever he wanted with the basketball in his hands, which lead to his average points per game going up, and his shooting efficiency to go down. LeBron however, was not drafted into success with no pressure and a Batman like Kobe was; he was the most anticipated basketball player ever, expected to lift a team, rather a city, whom had not won a sports championship since 1964, out from the ashes and into the limelight,at the age of 18. Unlike Kobe, Lebron had all the pressure to live up to his prophecy from the moment he stepped on the NBA’s basketball court and he did not disappoint. In fact, LeBron put up stats never before seen from a player so young, changing NBA history in the process. At 19, he

Yelling “KOBE” while throwing a crumpled paper ball into the trashcan is something every sports fan in the world have done at one point of their life. After winning five time NBA championships, voted two time NBA Final MVP, two time scoring champion, his accomplishments speaks for his greatness, and that is Kobe Bryant. Bryant is now a retired professional basketball player who played in Los Angeles Lakers for 20 years. Throughout his remarkable career, Bryant developed a heroic figure as he pursued Michael Jordan’s footsteps and overcoming him toward the end of his career. He is considered a hero because he has the trait of being determined, fearless, and inspirational.

At this point, because of injuries and not performing to his fullest ability with the rookies, Kobe Bryant announced he would retire from the National Basketball Association at the end of the ‘15-’16 season. In his final National Basketball Association game, Kobe Bryant put up his sixth all time 60+ point game with 61 points against the Utah Jazz. As a result of Kobe Bryant’s record setting 20 year career, he managed to have 17 National Basketball Association All-Star selections, a National Basketball Association Most Valuable Player Award, 5 National Basketball Association Championships, two Olympic Gold medals for basketball, and finally, he became the third highest scorer in a career of all time. In addition, Kobe Bryant had many more awards and titles, but these are the greatest things he did throughout his astounding career, and what makes his name one of the most well known players of all

Another reason Lebron James should win is because he has made NBA history. According to Bleacherreport.com, Lebron was the youngest to reach 5,000

The comparison between Kobe Bryant and LeBron James is pretty similar. both players play basketball, both are all stars, and leaders of their teams. Kobe and LeBron are both always amongst the top five in scoring each year. Kobe and LeBron are sponsored by Nike and are always amongst the top in accessory sales. Kobe plays in the western conference while LeBron plays in the eastern conference. Kobe has 5 championship and 1 MVP award, while LeBron has 2 championships and 4 MVP awards. LeBron is no where near Kobe's achievements, Kobe has 19 years in the league while LeBron has 13 years in the league. at the end of the day, both players will go down in the basketball hall of fame once their careers are finished.

Kevin Durant: 18,000 career points, 4x nba scoring champion, winner of the mvp, 2 olympic gold medals… No NBA Title. Kd knows what he wants and deserves a title.

KOBE BRYANT VS MJ WHO U THINK IS BETTER kobe bryant put a capper on his illustrious NBA career with a 60-point swan song in his final game against the utah jazz on April 13 — a 101-96 win for Lakerland. Though the los angeles lakers failed to even sniff the playoffs by finishing with a franchise-worst 17-65 record in Kobe’s final season, Bryant willed his team to victory and went out a winner. It was a fitting bookend to a Hall of Fame tenure in the pros for Bryant. If nothing else, his fans and haters will remember him as a volume scorer and a winner.

The GOAT Race: Mike vs. the King With so many incredible players in the NBA, along with the many greats from the past, deciding who is the greatest of all time is close to impossible. Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Julius “Dr. J” Irving are just a few of those with the careers to back this title. Russell Westbrook, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, and James Harden are in the running also, but are not yet finished with their careers. However, sports analysts and fans have not debated any players more than Michael Jordan and Lebron James. Fans lift Jordan and Lebron, Mike and the King, above all other players, repeatedly, for their superior play and championship drive (Sherman).

Lebron James and Kobe Bryant are two of the most explosive players in the NBA today. Each player has his own playing style that separates him from the rest of the league. Both players have their own career achievements, endorsements, and personal life stories behind the game. If you ask anybody, the comparison between these two players is great. It is a never ending debate between who is better because both players have something different to bring to the table. Side by side on paper, both players seem dominant and may one day end up in the basketball hall of fame. But as individuals, side by side, each has a different but similar life.

LeBron James plays the small forward position and stands at 6 foot 8 and weighs 250 lbs, and Stephen Curry plays the point guard position and stands at 6 foot 3 and weighs 190 lbs. LeBron James has played 13 season and Stephen Curry has played 7 seasons. Obviously LeBron James’ stats are going to be higher for the most part because he has played longer, but I want to compare and project who is going to be better at the end of their careers and who’s better now. Granted, both players play different position so they have to be judged on if they are better players overall. Although, both players are very qualified, one has to be better and that can be determined by aspects such as: offensive performance, defensive performance, championships and

Many people think of two men when the question of who the best NBA player is of all time. Some may say Michael Jordan, and some may say Kobe Bryant. They are both insanely good and their statistics are extremely similar, but the statistics lean more towards Jordan. This is why Michael Jordan is better than Kobe in the sport they both love and care for dearly.
