Spied @ Nigel’s
So this guy decided to analyze who was better between King James and Kobe Bryant.
I want to start a “Things Bored People Do” category for acts of stupidity like this. This was the type of argument you’d have with your boys after a game just to leave the venue excessively heated for no apparent reason. It gives no added value to your life, just an increase in possibility of dying from hypertension.
As children, we learn from that and, then, grow up.
Some of us grow into adults that have learned what buttons not to push or, at least, when to push them. We limit a comparison like this to categorical disputes, or shit-talking and blurts in between games. (e.g “Ooooh. See, Kobe wouldn’t have missed that shot.”)
Others grow up into douchebags like this and get jobs at Fox Sports and ESPN, supposing that making up categories and using mediocre video editing skills makes for a good argument. If “hunger” really makes a difference, I know some kids in Somalia with some ball skills (pause) that should be top draft picks. I’m just saying.
Bullshit aside, who’s the better player?

For the record Lebron is better
kobe…81 nuff said
Last year it was clearly Kobe, but Lebron has stepped his game up a notch this season. With more focus on getting to the bucket instead of settling for the 3-ball & a heightened level of intensity on the defensive end, Lebron is an unstopable force on the hardwood. At 6 ft 8 in, 250lbs., he’s too strong for most players to stop once he sets his mind on getting to the bucket. Fouling is the only option & even then his strength still allows him to finish. His jump shot continues to improve & Lebron is only 24 years old, not even in his prime yet. Kobe has that killer instinct that few players have, but I think Lebron will eventually get there, preferably in a Knick uniform =).
KOBE
…right now
Lebron has potential to BE better then Kobe in the future…but neither of them are touching Mr. 23
K*O*B*E
Laughing at how poorly edited and synced this vid is.
Until King James gets a killer instinct its Kobe
@ Contra: That “things that bored people do” idea would be dope, you could start by adding that dumbass “professor” who thinks that hiphop has its origins in Scotland.
Kobe is the better player right now and will be until LBJ gets those 3 rings that Kobe has.
However, LBJ is playing defense, wants the ball at the end of the game, and is hitting his free throws…he will over take Kobe shortly.
BTW LBJ is not leaving 20 million plus on the table to play for the Knicks. Remember Cleveland can sign him for 7 years at about 135-140 million. Knicks can only offer 6 years at a max 120.
Knicks lose again.
1st off, what do Kobe’s rings have to do with who’s the better player?
Absolutely nothing.
And Lebron was a multi-millionaire before he ever stepped on an NBA court. It’s about winning a championship as well as becoming a global icon & New York will be in a position to help him aquire both.

===========
Yeah…pretty much. Rings plus 81 = pretty hard to trump.
1st off, what do Kobe’s rings have to do with who’s the better player?
=====================================
EVERYTHING!!!!!
Who’s the better power forward?
Sir Charles, Mailman, or the Big Fundamental?
The Big Fundamental!
Why? ———–> Rings!!!!!
‘Nuff Said!!
Duncan led his team…Kobe didn’t
Lebron over kobe…he wuz never ne ones weed carrier
We’re talking about who’s the better PLAYER, not who has more championships.
John Salley > Kobe???
4 rings to 3
Will Perdue > Charles Barkley
Barkley – 0 rings
Brian Scalabrine > Lamar Odom
1 ring to none
Leon Powe > Bernard King, Reggie Miller, George Gervin???
aiiight, lemme stop bullshittin’…but troof-fully, rings have more to do w/ the GM than the player sometimes…
….but still….81 vs NBA competition …DAYUUUMMM…
it’s Kobe by a jumpshot over Lebron (killer instinct sold seperately)
Steve kerr has 6 rings..Robert Horry Has 7
and as far as the 81 pts….Wilt scored 100 n MJ’s best wuz 61 but MJ> Wilt
Robert Horry > Wilt
^ LOL
Lebron is like Mike, where he makes the players around him better. Kobe has never proven his ability to do that. He couldn’t even get along with the best player he’ll ever play alongside, Shaq. Lebron is a playmaker who takes over when needed. Kobe is 30 years old & he’s just learning how to do that.

Hell Bron went to the finals almost single handedly….only to get swept by the SPURS

thats more like it
Kobe now..But Lebron will be better at his peak..peace
who is better right NOW?
Kobe hasn’t won a ring since lebron has been in the league.
and the argument about duncan, charles, and malone is irrelevant because only one is active NOW
lebron all day baby
^ in that case dont ever compare kobe to jordan
@Moose – True.
He couldn’t even get along with the best player he’ll ever play alongside, Shaq.
========================================
@ AMP – True Dat!!!! I hated KB for the loonnggest time after that!!!! Thats when everybody had to go through LA to win!!!
Oh wait…they still do!!!!!
Went thru LA to win a championship…… “Check!”
But we were always there!
inside the paint, outside the arc….Kobe.
He’s a beast, but a very good 2-3 zone could stop Lebron 5 times out of 10. That jumper is mad streaky.
which is precisely why the Redeem Team wound up deferring to Kobe.
Don’t confuse SportsCenter highlights w/overall skill.
He’s a beast, but a very good 2-3 zone could stop Lebron 5 times out of 10
=================================
And those five times he’ll either get fouled or make a pass to set up a teammate.
If u want a player that destroys team chemistry..then go wit Kobe
^ same was said of MJ once upon a time.
This was on ESPN. How come when KG makes his teammake CRY on the bench, it’s good leadership, but when Kobe yells at his teammates he’s being a cancer?
Double standard cause people hate Kobe. I’m gonna say Kobe now, but by the end of the season it could be Bron Bron.
*teammate
KOBE! KOBE! KOBE!
yelling @ your teammates oncourt & bitchin bout them to the media are two different things
My personal opinion: Kobe.
It’s not about what you can do, it’s about what you do, and have done.
Point blank.
Lebron,
Rather than have mad beef’s throughout your fresh career, cultivate your art (basketball), and f@!# ‘em.
lebron is beastly. i think he confirmed that hes now somewhere around 6’9 270. but im still not choosing.
LB always baby!!!
Lebron plays D now! Its A wrap! Lebron = 2010 NY Knicks! + Amare = Championship! Chyeah!
Rings mean everything in the NBA. I’m a Shaq fan, but he did play with a guy name Penny and couldn’t get along with him. Shaq was mad jealous of Kobe when they played together, and started to sour on Wade towards the end because he wasn’t the man.
Kobe and Jason Kidd taught them guys this summer how to be professionals with his work ethic and J-Kidd’s on court leadership. . Nothing wrong with being second, but until LBJ gets a ring he will never pass Kobe (at least while he is playing).
That’s why K.G. will always be 2nd to #21 because of them rings. Love K.G. though…not hatin’.
Please….LBJ is not going to NY. He will sign that extension this summer. I don’t care how much money he has in endorsements he isn’t throwing away close to 20 mil to go to NY.
He’s already a global icon while playing in Cleveland. How is going to play for NY going to enhance his status on the worldwide front?
KOBE!!!!! Unstoppable Jump shot!!! Water!!!! Beast!!!! Can’t keep him out of the paint, finds a way!!!!Don’t foul him!! 8 out of 10 times you’ll pay with an extra point!!!First step ghost!!! Where’d he go!!!To the Hole!!!Did he just stick his tongue out at me???!!!
LEBRON
Kobe by far!!!!the only thing lebron is better at than kobe is taking five steps to the basket!!!search lebron traveling on youtube n u can see it 81 in a game 63 in 3 quarters please
