At the end: Kobe v Lebron

oldgoldy97 · 01-18-2016, 06:43 PM

Kobe is getting gushed over by every city he visits for the last time even though he has been a somewhat polarizing person. Will Lebron see the same love on his farewell tour, less or more? I think cities will give The King a better send off, personally.

Nyfancam01 · 01-18-2016, 06:47 PM

Yes. Lebron James will get crazy love at the end. Plenty of people who dislike him will eventually see just how special he really is/was.

IMO, I don't think Lebron will receive the same outpouring that Kobe has.

Despite all that Kobe has done to opposing teams (and fans), I think you've still got admire him for his sheer determination and will. His unquestionable confidence, pre-injury, in himself is something that is Jordan-esque.

With Lebron, we're constantly told that "he's the best in the league", "a leader" and so-on. He's not the one re-enforcing these values, the media is. Kobe would take that last shot, Kobe would keep pushing for better or worse. Lebron takes himself out of the game, time and time again.

That, and Kobe stayed with Lakers his whole career, irrelevant of team success. Loyalty given=respect earned.

Well said. Lebron turns it on when Lebron wants to turn it on.

Kobe and Jordan were never questioned on their will power.

Well, Lebron is the better player AND he is more polarizing.

The fact is that Kobe is overrated and his play sucks this year. Not only is he boring to watch right now, but his publicity is incredibly annoying.

Lebron will get a better farewell tour in about 15 years once he says he is calling it a career. He likely will have at least six rings by then.

So....he's retiring when he's 46?

Ok.

green4407 · 01-18-2016, 07:22 PM

Curry is the answer.

cnewby · 01-18-2016, 07:23 PM

So guys, do you like LeBron or not?

What. A. Post.

Totally agree with this.

jordan23xvii · 01-18-2016, 07:28 PM

Kobe is better. More points, more championships. And Lebron needed 2 all stars to finally win. Just watch him live.

LOL. You actually think kobe is a better overall player ??? James passed him LONG AGO.

oldgoldy97 · 01-18-2016, 07:33 PM

People seem to have forgotten Kobe's dark (Colorado) years. I think there is less to "forgive" Lebron for.

Yeah he had shaq, LeBron had to leave his team because he kept losing and teamed up with 2 other top league superstars. Even Michael Jordan mentioned something about this, offensively kobe's moves are better looking. comin from an Allen Iverson fan, yet you love lbj?

Yep.
Allen Iverson is my absolute favorite of all time...

Iverson also loves Lebron.

bkcardcollector · 01-18-2016, 08:08 PM

is LeBron retiring too?
news to me. I don't think Lebron is done yet. He got quite a few years left in those legs if you ask me

tristan20 · 01-18-2016, 08:09 PM

Kobe has never been the best player in the league.
Kobe has not always been the best player on his own team.
Kobe has had a silver spoon since day one.
Players take pay cuts to get away from Kobe.

Oh but he has 5 rings so that must mean hes better, oh and Robert Horry has 7 so hes better than Jordan.

green4407 · 01-18-2016, 08:25 PM

Curry>Kobe>LeBron>AI

Hope you all are watching the domination right now.

Orangejello727 · 01-18-2016, 08:29 PM

Ill give a standing ovation once Lebron fans finally retire.
