"We have all heard this question before LeBron or Kobe. Obviously both are great and I think the general public is split on who is better, similar to Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. But we are not the general public, since we know more about the NBA. I want to see which side the hard core fans are on. Which hall of fame player do you want on your team, King James or The Black Mamba?"

do you honestly think any of us are going to say kobe?
I hate the steelers the way a mother loves a child.
hhmmmmm....
if you would appreciate an honest answer coming from a huge LBJ fan, i would say that Lebron is far more athletic as Kobe has ever been, making Leborn an obvious choice as far as who would have been better had they started at the same time.
Kobe has by far been luckier to have had the type of organization like the Lakers to surround him with some of the games greatest players, he was also lucky enough to play alongside Shaquille Oneal at his prime.
Lebron is far more dominating on and off the ball, Lebron almost always makes his presence felt on every single play, the guy is like a great white shark swimming in a pool of monk seals, but Kobe stands out to me as the better clutch shooter.
Kobe can also score the ball easier than James can, he has so many different ways he can score and he is such a great shooter, but LBJ is the better teammate simply because he makes everyone around him better because of his court vision.
Overall i would say they both bring different aspects to the game that cancels out each of their strengths and weaknesses (ie kobe scores easy but fails to make his teammates better, Lebron doesnt shoot as well as Bryant but he doesnt need to when hes setting up others to score)
Kobe needs to play with stars because he’s that obvious! everyone in the building knows hes the go to guy. Lebron does not need stars, i mean he makes JJ Hickson look like Shawn Kemp!
my breakdown?…..Kobe is a 9.3 and Lebron is a 9.25…simply because he has no rings…when that changes, no one will remember Kobe…and that is the truth, not being sarcastic on that one.

I'm not so sure anyone
will just forget the highest scoring Laker in history. Or a player who has the second highest in-game non-overtime point total in NBA history, and one of the highest scoring halves in history. Or 4 different championships. or only the second player this decade to have 5 game-winning shots in a season. There are so many problems with the end to this analysis. And if anyone ever did just forget him because another player won one championship, then it’ll be another thing in a long list of things he doesn’t get credit for in his career.
