When I got into basketball Jordan was at the end and Kobe was just getting started. I played Kobe’s n64 basketball game. That’s just who the start of my nba viewing started with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOF44 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 So hard to compare.  They took the physicality Jordan had to play against out of the game.  I think Lebron would have handled that better than Kobe just because of his build.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsluggo Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 the one thing Lebron did... was consistently drag teams filled with scrubs deep into the playoffs.  When Kobe, in his prime, was surrounded by scrubs... those teams struggled to hit .500 and didn't even make it to the playoffs.    1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention he was playing in the West which was the much harder conference during those years.  In 2005 he missed 16 games due to injury and they finished 34-48 missing the playoffs.  In 2006 Lebron's Cavs were 50-32 and it was the 2nd best record in the East. Kobe's Lakers were 45-37 and the 7th best record in the West. Kobe lost to the MVP Nash Suns in 7 and Lebron lost in the 2nd round in 7 to the Pistons.  In 2007, the 5 seed Houston Rockets were 52-30 and the 1 seed in the East was 53-29. Lakers were 42-40 to the Cavs 50-32 and he again lost to the 61 win Nash Suns. Lebron meanwhile got to beat 41-41 Wizards, the 41-41 Nets and then the 53-29 Pistons before being swept by the Spurs.  The next 3 years Kobe was in the Finals which marked the end of his prime and Lebron hasn't been on a team that wasn't loaded since this point.  It's not really a fair comparison considering the talent level in those conferences during that time. I feel pretty confident the Lakers could have beaten the crappy Wizards and Nets too. Edited January 29, 2020 by Momma There Goes That Man 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that team. Not exactly a bunch of open looks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
