From a pure playmaking for his teammates standpoint comparing LeBron to Kobe is asinine. I’ mean, I’ve seen some horrible comments on this website, but that has to be up there with the very worst. The stats don’t lie and if that isn’t enough for you then watch the games. Kobe is a fantastic scorer who gets the majority of his assist based on the fact that he garners so much attention (double teams). To blame Kobe’s teammates as to why his career assist numbers are down (compared to LeBron’s) is comical. However, I must say a major difference is the offense that both the Lakers and Cavs run. Due to the triangle offense Kobe isn’t required to take his man of the dribble and look for the spot up shooters…..however, this essentially is the Cavs offense. Having said that though LeBron is still the better and more willing passer and probably a more efficient scorer. Yes, Kobe is a more talented scorer, but LeBron is the better overall offensive player.

I never said his teammates are the reason kobe doesnt have that many assists im talking the confidence kobe has in teammates its below where it should be if you would remember back to after shaq left and before pau i think you would realize nobody on that team had the ability to knock down the shot hell kareem rush was our best shooter besides kobe when it mattered thats saying something

the whole thing was b/c of the ballhog argument every star player is a ballhog at one time you have your opinion i have mine

and also the post shaq years i wouldnt trade kobes style for anything it won us 3 championships in a row and yes we could of been a lot better for longer, however certain styles win whos to say what if b/c what if didnt happen dont use the ballhog to say thats why kobe isnt #1 if he can make the shot i see no point in passing the ball the more attention he gets the better his teammates are shaq got a lot more attention than kobe so kobe captalized end of story he didnt ballhog he did what was necessary to win

In the end, only one thing matters. Rings. Kobe has 4, Lebron has 0.

Ah, good thing LeBron is 23 and has plenty of time left to catch up.

Yeah it's really good for Kobe he came into the NBA and could win 3 Championships playing second fiddle to Shaq.

Yeah, the year after Shaq was traded Kobe was basically on an island, but Kobe has always struggled with trusting his teammates. He even struggles sometimes trusting the guys he has now. Kobe just believes he can take over games singlehandedly (which sometimes he can) and sometimes it gets the best of him.

the whole thing was b/c of the ballhog argument every star player is a ballhog at one time you have your opinion i have mine

LeBron has never been a ballhog though… he even was criticized earlier in his career for passing too much and trusting his teammates too much…..remember the playoff series against Detroit when he passed to the open shooter (who missed) and was criticized for it? ..I really don’t see how anyone could say LeBron was a ballhog. I mean, you could say it just because, but that argument has no basis.

and also the post shaq years i wouldnt trade kobes style for anything it won us 3 championships in a row and yes we could of been a lot better for longer, however certain styles win whos to say what if b/c what if didnt happen dont use the ballhog to say thats why kobe isnt #1 if he can make the shot i see no point in passing the ball the more attention he gets the better his teammates are shaq got a lot more attention than kobe so kobe captalized end of story he didnt ballhog he did what was necessary to win

I get your point. I’m a Kobe guy, and post Shaq had no problem with the way he was playing, because Kobe by himself made them competitive. Also, as talented as he is I don’t think Kobe is given enough credit for what he did during those dynasty years, because he basically had t harness his ability for the betterment of the team and it helped them when 3 championships. Shaq leaves, the team rebuilds and Kobe leads them to another championship….I think that says a lot and certainly helps his legacy.

Greatest Laker of all-time is a quality debate, sparked by Kobe Bryant passing Jerry West on Monday for No. 1 on the franchise career scoring list. If we're talking biggest impact, it's easily West -- superstar player, superstar executive, plus a coaching stint that included a division title. But if it's strictly greatest in uniform: Magic Johnson. He wasn't a defender at the Bryant-West level, obviously an important consideration. But he was the soul of five championships, had huge assist numbers, was a leader, good rebounder, fierce competitor and was clutch. The most underrated, somehow, is Elgin Baylor, stunningly good but too easily forgotten through the years.

Ah ok, so he's been 25 for 2 months. Big deal, he's still got plenty of time to catch up. Jordan didn't even make it to a Finals until his 9th year in the league.
