Kobe took Smush, Kwame, Luke, etc. to the playoffs in the West and had a 3-1 lead over Nash's best team ever. Let that sink in. |
Lebron took Eric Snow, Larry Hughes and Daniel Gibson to the NBA Finals. I like Kobe a hell of a lot more than I'll ever like Lebron but this isn't the road you wanna go down. |
I'm guessing nobody here cares. That wasn't a Laker team.
All I care about is what's happening here in LA and so far it ain't pretty. |
Im guessing any proof that Lebron James is a hell of a basketball player is something a few of you don’t care about. |

I don’t know what I liked to see more of, LeBron driving and kicking to Durant, or Kyrie throwing ally’s to LeBron.
I hope one of them becomes a Laker next summer.

Can’t believe I come onto LG after taking a 20 hour break only to hear people still comparing Lebron to Kobe.
It’s pretty sad and some of y’all need to realize Kobe has been retired for a few years now!
Everyone needs to embrace Lebron now! He’s the face of our franchise and he’s trying to bring more titles to our illustrious franchise!
With all that said the “Lebron only fans” are pretty sad and annoying as well. |

| I hope Lebron wants to make the playoffs. Because that's pretty much what our season comes down to. |

Already at the point of who gives a damn about this season. I mean of course it would be nice to make it to the postseason but the main point of emphasis for this team should be playing hard and picking up good tendencies gearing up for next season.
KD, Klay or Kawhi would be nice but I’d rather get Kyrie.
An then maybe Deandre Jordan while trying to bring back Javale. |

He's a living, breathing NBA legend with 3 championships, has been to the Finals 8 years in a row, and probably only has about two or three years left to of being at his athletic peak. I don't even know what to tell you if you think there's even the slightest possibility that he would be totally content with not making the playoffs and letting this go down as a completely wasted season.

I wonder if we could ever trade LeBron? Just a thought.
But anyway, I do believe still that he is the best player in the league.
Playoff basketball is different, this nonsense in the regular season and how inflated stats are now for all players, its ridiculous.
Playoffs is when teams are actually allowed to play some defense for a change and everything has a greater degree of difficulty. Unlike most players, its when LeBron really steps up. |

Look LBJ is an all time player but if the road you want to take is if Kobe or LBJ is the better player I'll walk that road anyday of the week.
I watched both play their whole careers. I'm probably one of the few who watched just as much LBJ as Kobe
But even how amazing his numbers were, he Never impacted the game like Kobe and was half the leader. Basketball is just as much mental as it is physical. Watch a prime phil coached team and you will realize that stats and X's and O's are hype. While I like analytics if one thing phil and kobe showed me is that stat are very overrated. They are Great at predicting the regular season (although when stat gave that 2013 team a 2% chance of making the playoffs Kobe showed that isnt even true.) But they are not that accurate once the playoffs began.
Kobe mentally intimidated the people he played with and against and won many games on that fact alone. watching Kobe rip other players hearts out year after year was the best part of basketball.
I understand why people say LBJ was better but I could care less what others say. I watched both thier whole careers and Its Kobe. |

I’ve watched both their careers too, but I won’t sit here typing which one I, keyword I, aka my own opinion, think is better than the other.
A pointless and endless debate no one can win.

I'm impressed some of Lakerland still finds a way to hate Lebron even though he plays on our team.
Crazy that people can square that circle. And I'm a huge Kobe fan. Kobe's higher than Bron on my GOAT list.

Let’s go. Buckling up for a wild 25 game finish. At the end of the day this is supposed to be entertainment.
