hey guys. let me introduce myself. i've hovered around different message boards over the last 20 years. from ESPN to ISH and many in between. one constant is i've consistently put kobe bryant ahead of lebron james regardless of the analytics for these key reasons
- he never left to ring chase like lebron ( lebron did 3 times )
- he never colluded another prime superstar to join him ( lebron had Wade, Bosh, Love, Kyrie, AD, Westbrook )
- he never needed a teammate to hit a shot in an elimination title game for him ( lebron had multiple )
- he never needed to bend the rules to dominate ( traveling, charging, flopping, stiff arming, bulldozing people out of the way )
- he never needed the commissioner to suspend the other teams best player in the finals ( lebron got draymond taken out of a key game with a phone call to adam silver )
- he never needed a lockout fake season like lebron in 2012 or a bubble shortened vacation with no fans like lebron in 2020
- he never needed a phoney era with no defense being allowed like todays freedom of movement small ball no center soft 3 point chucking crap where lebrons the biggest guy on the floor sometimes. imagine if kobe could play center and the other teams biggest guy was 6-7 like today at times
and finally
- Kobe was loyal, he worked harder than anyone, he didn't fake injuries, he didn't load manage and he damn sure didn't take steroids to win most of his rings and awards. lebrons been linked to clinics since 2013. admitted to spending millions on his body. was slowing down by 2015 and took a vacation trip during the season back to the miami steroid clinic he was linked to. then rumoured to be part of biogenesis. then exposed for having biochemists on his payroll. he avoids the olympics like the plague since 2012. he's built like a wwe wrestler. he dominated 99% of his career with power moves. he still gets his head above the rim in year 20. and never once has the nba issued a public statement of him being tested.
lebron is the barry bonds of the nba. and for that reason i won't rank him in my top 10 ever again
