Tayshaun Prince explains the difference between guarding Kobe & LeBron.There seems to be a recurring theme of what’s being said among the majority of players that played against both in their primes. The majority either directly say or insinuate the same thing,LeBron is more Predictable & Easier to guard.... show more

Tayshaun Prince explains the biggest difference between guarding Kobe Bryant and LeBron James “Kobe and LeBron were completely different.” “With Kobe, you had to keep him away from his sweet spots.” “It was all about rhythm.” “He knew exactly where he wanted to get on the floor.” “He’d wear you down all game so he could get to those spots in the fourth quarter.” “With LeBron, it was different.” “You had to fight through 100, maybe 150 pick-and-rolls.” “They were trying to wear you down all game.” “Then in the fourth quarter…” “LeBron would get into his package.”

Amar’e Stoudemire said LeBron was probably harder to play against because of his explosiveness… But Kobe was harder to guard because there was no weakness. That’s the difference. With LeBron, the game plan was: back off, make him shoot, live with it. With Kobe? You couldn’t back off. You couldn’t force him left/right. You couldn’t bait the turnaround. You couldn’t take away one thing and survive. Everything you wanted him to do, he already mastered. That’s why defenders talk about Kobe differently. Kobe didn’t just beat the game plan, he erased it.

I won't let people rewrite history about Kobe. When LeBron and Kobe had equal teammates, Kobe stepped up and led his team to a win. LeBron shrunk, switched off Kobe, asked Prince to guard him on the last shot, then proceeded to not even hit the rim on his final shot. Kobe was being instantly doubled in a game with the best players in the world- only Kobe was getting instant doubles. Let that sink in. Mamba was one of one. That's why Coach K recruited him- Bron wasn't good enough to lead Team USA to gold. They had to go get Kobe to do that. 👊

Here's 5 straight mins of players who played against Michael, LeBron and Kobe telling you that Kobe is a top two player of all-time 🤷🏽‍♂️ Really the only opinions that matter. Don't fall for the casual and stat nerd bait lists.

2001 NBA WCFinals on TNT Sports U.S. Lakers vs. Spurs [speaking on Kobe 🐍] • Danny Ainge: “Well Kevin (both Kobe & Shaq) are playing great, but Kobe is being called by Shaq the best player in the NBA. Shaq is referring to (Kobe) as his idol.” ——————————————————— San Antonio Spurs🏴‍☠️ players commenting on their game plan: • SF Sean Elliot “We definitely have to have people come & collapse (on Kobe)… hopefully he’ll pass the ball out or force a bad shot. When you let someone like (Kobe) dictate what he wants to do.. you are in for a LONG NIGHT. • Guard Antonio Daniels “Keep (Kobe) in front of you… that’s all you can do. Even thought it’s easier said than done you have to make him elevate over you & HOPE he misses.” ——————————————————— Ainge: “I like what those guys said.. (but) the twin towers have to step up their game, they played more like the twin sisters in game 1, and speaking of twin towers.. let’s got to Craig Sager WHO IS WITH THE GUY TOWERING OVER EVERYONE 🐍.” Sager: “The Spurs say they are going to try to make you a passer, & (only) a jump shooter. Do you expect a brick wall down there?.” Kobe: “We are going to read it and see.” Sager: “Shaquille O’Neal said after the first game WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT, that you are the best player in the league. Coming from Shaq what does that mean to you?” Kobe: “Well it’s a huge compliment, but the most important thing is just moving on and playing tonight’s game.”

Shawn Kemp says LeBron SHOULDN'T be compared to Michael Jordan 🔥 "LeBron is not no damn Michael Jordan, Kobe is more like Michael Jordan." If Kobe had been drafted in the same year as LeBron, he would have been the one officially being discussed as the GOAT alongside MJ.

This is dumb because without context everything sounds right. But the fact is that Kobe played with one of the worst rosters during possibly the strongest Western Conference of all time. The year LeBron went to the Finals in 2007, the entire All NBA 1st team and the entire All NBA 1st defensive team was represented by 10 PLAYERS ALL FROM THE WEST (Kobe being on both of them). That’s 10 players that were the cream of the crop of the league on both ends all in the freaking Western conference. Lebron coasted through the East always. From 2014 - 2018, the Eastern conference didn’t have ONE SINGLE ALL NBA 1st TEAM SELECTION (outside of LeBron James). All the best players played in the Western conference. Back to 2007, Kobe had an all time bad roster and yet he played the Suns team that boasted two All NBA 1st team players in Nash and Amari. Kobe’s averages in that series he lost to the Suns: 33PPG| 5Reb| 4Ast on 46%FG| 36%3PT| 92%FT When it’s LeBron it’s “He loses to tougher competition but he’s great”. When it’s Kobe it’s “He’s the mamba, what happened?” Different set of rules for Kobe always when Stephen A Smith is on the mic. Just like he punishes Kobe for having Shaq but not punishing Magic and Kareem for having eachother. A joke. Stephen A Smith has NEVER responded to these obvious hypocritical views concerning Kobe. Nasty

Michael Jordan on the GOAT debate: “The GOAT term is something I’ll never get high or low about. It just doesn’t exist for me.. We paved the way for Kobe and LeBron. The beauty of he game of basketball is a player after previous players have evolved the game further. But don’t then use that against the players that taught you the game or that you learned from. I would have loved to play against LeBron and Kobe in my prime but we’ll never be able to know that… I think it creates animosity. I have no animosity against today players but you do have certain players that do have animosity due to the forgotten ness of their contributions to the game of basketball… I think LeBron has had an unbelievable career. I admire him for what he’s done. As well as Kobe, KD, all these guys. I think they’ve elevated the game of basketball tremendously” (Via NBA on NBC and Peacock)

Kobe is the greatest 3-level scorer ever. In an extremely tough era, game in and game out an elite threat from all 3 levels of the floor. Dunks? We’ll ask Yao Ming what’s up. Midrange? We know Kobe is a midrange god 3pt range? Kobe held the record for most 3’s in a game Slasher? Kobe is one of the most elite slashers in league history. Kobe wasn’t the freak athlete like Jordan or LeBron, wasn’t the shooter like Steph Curry, didn’t have the speed of Allen Iverson. But many believe him to be the most skilled ever. And he had just enough, height, strength and more than enough mental tenacity to be a ferocious punisher of defenses and the most dominate player in maybe the hardest decade to play in. Bean is that boy. He had it all.

Danny Green believes Kawhi Leonard isn’t better than Kobe Bryant, but had all the tools to be 👀 “Do I think he surpassed Kobe? No. Could he have? I think he had the tools too. If he stayed healthy he was one of the best two way players I’ve seen play the game…. He hasn’t won as much. Kobe has 5 rings. Played for 20 years. Kawhi has played half that time. As body of work, there’s no comparison at all… Kawhi is a top 75 player in our league because of what he can do. If he would’ve continued that (Toronto) run, he would’ve had to continue that run for 10 years to catch Kobe. Kobe scored 81, I’ve seen him score 60 in 3 quarters a couple times, not many people cared about the game like Kobe did… There’s a very few group of guys you can put in the category of very obsessed with the game that also had the talent and skills to be great and that’s Kobe, LeBron, MJ. Kawhi is very good player, but nah he’s not Kobe category” (Via Byron Scott fast break)

Kobe didn’t need all these gimmicks man. He just played hard as the best player in the sport and it motivated others to do the same. The league has bad player leadership. Kobe wouldn’t have allowed what the All Star has become. Kobe led by example and ever since he left it’s obvious that he was the LAST OF THE DAWGS from true mega/superstars in the game. Lebron and Steph don’t have this.. they Can’t produce what they don’t have. This was on display obviously in the 2013 all star where Kobe put Lebron in the corner and locked him up. Buts it’s not just the defense, it’s the tenacity and seriousness in which he approached the all star game. The activity on fighting off screens etc. This type of heart for the game is long gone. Kobe left and so did the heart of the NBA. Changing the format won’t change anything. We need new mega stars that love the game like Kobe did.

WOW. COACH K saying Jordan is #1 and it many people are in that room and he mentions Kobe 2nd. Y’all gone have a heart attack when yall realize that some of the greatest basketball minds in the world have Jordan first, then Kobe and even others before they even think about LeBron. But here’s the thing, that’s no shade. LeBron is up there. But this idea that Kobe is no where near the top when so many NBA LEGENDS say Jordan-Kobe is so close and LeBron isn’t always up there with them Jordan/Kobe in their minds. And again, THATS OK. Because there’s some coaches who believe LeBron is #1 or believe Kobe is #3 behind LeBron. But the thing is, None of the great minds think Kobe is fringe top 10. That’s a bleacher report thing that’s not real life basketball 🫡

Yes, for sure. One hundred percent.” “Here’s why I think he’s not.” “Number one, he played with you, and people hold that against him.” “Number two, Kobe kind of fell in a weird era.” “When Shaq left, the Lakers had a few rough years.” “They weren’t winning, even though Kobe’s numbers were incredible.” “At the same time, LeBron was rising in Cleveland and making his name.” “I don’t think Kobe was the consensus best player in the league for long enough.” “Then LeBron entered the conversation.” “From that point on, it became a tug of war.”

Michael Jordan explains why he doesn’t believe LeBron James and Kobe Bryant can be called the GOAT. “The GOAT term isn’t something I’ll ever get high or low about.” “I never played against Oscar Robertson or Jerry West. We paved the road to the Kobes and the LeBrons.” “Don’t use what the next generation learned against the players who taught them the game.” “I’d have loved to play against LeBron in my prime. I’d have loved to play against Kobe too.” “It’s an empty comparison. You’ll never find the true answer to that question.” “LeBron has had an unbelievable career. Kobe, KD and the players of this era have elevated the game tremendously.” “I just don’t agree when you start trying to put one above the other.”

“Wade Dropped 40 On Kobe‼️” Wade only scored about 8 Points Directly on Kobe in this game,not 40. As you can see,a significant amount of screens were being set for Wade to get Kobe off him.Yall would know if yall actually watched the game instead of the Box Scores.Nice try tho

One thing I’ve always admired about Kobe, after losing in 2008, he didn’t make excuses and he didn’t look for a shortcut. Celtics had 4 All Stars. Kobe could have forced the front office to add more All Stars, or run to south beach and create a super team. He didn’t, he knew what he had was enough and knew what it will take to win. Instead he said “Let’s run it back” Ariza isn’t just the only one. The biggest impact Kobe had was on Pau. Kobe toughened up Pau, showed him what it takes to win. It’s not just “Kobe Stans” who say this, the stars say it too. Just listen to Paul Pierce, he will tell you the same. Without Kobe, Pau would be just another skilled Big! And this is no disrespect towards Pau. He will tell you himself! He truly had the blueprint. He believed the work was the answer. He trained harder, challenged his teammates, and prepared them off the court just as much as on it. That’s real leadership. Not always nice, not always soft, but honest, demanding, and built to win. Kobe understood he couldn’t win alone, so he made sure the guys next to him were ready when it mattered. That’s Mamba Mentality. Discipline. Accountability. No excuses. Raise the standard. Be better today than you were yesterday. Again, KOBE STANS WOULDN’T BE KOBE STANS, IF KOBE WASN’T WHO KOBE WAS. We witnessed something special, and non of you can change that. Your fault for missing out.
