    (Look it up if you don't believe the quotes)
    Lebron said Kobe was the best (in return Kobe also said Lebron was the best playing, but he himself was hurt during the time)
    Jordan said the only player comparable to him was Kobe.
    Among the best of the best to play with Kobe in All-Star games, Kobe has the best statistics.
    http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/allstar/2013/02/16/kobe-bryant-greatest-player-all-star-game/1925237/
    D-Wade said Kobe was the best player of his generation and he plays with Lebron.
    Shaq said Kobe was the greatest Laker ever and he played with both.
    Kevin Durant said Kobe was without a doubt the greatest player ever and that Jordan was #1 and Kobe#1A
    Dirk Nowtizki says Kobe is the best NBA player he ever played against
    Reggie Miller says Kobe is the best player after Jordan for this generation
    Magic Johnson said Kobe was the best Laker, but I get it people who dabble on their computers know more than some of the actual players who played against Kobe and some of the greatest NBA players ever.
    All Lebron fans hate Kobe and probably vice versa. A lot of people have been waiting for Kobe's career of winning to end.
    nba players not on record during a poll and said between mj, kobe and lebron who would you want shooting the last shot.After Jordan was Kobe...........(nothing else really needs to be said) I get it, y'all dabblers on the computer know more than the players. Cool. Don't forget that I said if I had to pick a player on my team to build around it would be Lebron. I'm just saying Kobe has more skills and if you wanna learn how to play basketball and get all the skills that there are to learn then learn and study Kobe. Time to get off it. I'm out

    This post is the equivalent to the gas chamber for Lebron fanatics

    Kobe has more 1 on 1 moves.

    But he don't have the bulk, athleticism or basketball IQ Lebron has and could never play team ball as well. Kobe could win w/ others but could only do it by shooting 30 times. Lebron can dominate shooting 30 times or 5 times.

    Kobe more individual skill, Lebron the better player.

    End thread.

    Wade was seen as an equal to Bron from 2006-2009....I know I personally considered Kobe, Bron and Wade all on the same "level".

    to the lay fan they were...to a lot of yall nggas on here they were. (oh oh oh, he comin to Wade's team")

    I for one was adamant it was never even close. Before they played 1 game together.

    Then explain Wade's finals MVP before LeBron got his first regular MVP. Explain Wade stepping up big time in the Dallas series, while LeBron shriveled up in the limelight.

    It was definitely comparable, and depending on what you consider most important, Wade could have been seen as better. Wade fought to the end and would welcome big moments. LeBron would fill the stat sheet and turn into a completely different player damn near every 4th quarter.

    The only reason why they're not seen as equals is because LeBron sucks as the 1B or the 2nd option, and Wade can still perform well in those same positions. If Wade's game was boxed in like LeBron's or he was too cocky to take a back seat, the Heat wouldn't have won 2 championships and would still be in struggle mode.

    Lol at basketball IQ...Kobe is regarded as the smartest player in the league by almost everybody. Word to the triangle, how he plays the angles, and his legendary film sessions dissecting opponents.

    Jackie Mcmullan once said she saw Kobe yell at a teammate who was guarding Garnett because he played him to the wrong side consistently and Kobe threw out some "he only goes that way and is effective 17% of the time."

    Lol at bron's iq being some elevated thing cuz espn said so...he ran a mike brown offense and a basically copied d'antoni offense with spoelstra, spread the floor 4 is a shooter and high pick and rolls...it took son 6 games to figure out the spurs weren't guarding him in the finals last year.....

    They're both skilled equally if I had to choose I'd say kobe they both can do a few things better than the other.Don't know why people argue this it just becomes a clash of the groupie titans

    I expect kobe to be like Jordan on the wizards these last 2 years.Put up 20-22 ppg,drop a few 40 point games,a 50 point game,lots of post ups and under the basket moves when you lose your athleticism your basketball skills is what you rely on.Duncan been doin it for years this remains to be seen with lebron cuz he still in his prime.

    Wade and bron have never been equal.....maybe a lil bit in scoring but from 2003....bron has been an all around player getting 29 points 7-8 assists.....wade was probably @ 4 assists

    The "lebron wasn't clutch/was scared in the 4th" thing is vastly overrated, and how the hell ? kno if lebron sucks as the 1b or 2 option when he's always been the best player on the team, yes d-wade taking a bit of a back seat helped the heat but guess why he did, part of why is cuz he knows lebron is the 1-a of the entire damn league, their struggles in the beginning was cuz they both had similar all around games n needed the ball, wade being older n more injury prone just made more adjustments, none of their games were "boxed" in, I'm sure lebron could b a valuable 1b when he starts to decline, ? just be typing n don't wen know what they typing about

    Just saw a special on ESPN ten minutes ago dedicated to Lebron's IQ. Hmph. I wonder which one of y'all on here works for ESPN and gave em' the story. Go head reveal yo self? Players said he knows player tendencies, pacers coach said having Lebron is like having Peyton Manning on your team. Seemed like something more concocted by a sportswriter/fan than genuine, but I won't hate much more. Dude is great and plays too great to critique this much. Still stand by all my points, but I guess the rest is left up to whoever. It's his time; but just like folk shouldn't legitimately compare Durant to James, although they will; they also shouldn't be comparing James to people he hasn't usurped yet either.

    Kobe better shooter
    Kobe better defender
    Kobe better ball handler
    Kobe better free shooter

    LeBron better finisher
    LeBron better efficiency
    LeBron better rebounder
    LeBron better passer

    take your pick between these two depending on the day they flip flop on my list. If Bron loses tonight, I may have to put Kobe back ahead of Bron for good
