PLAYERS SHOULD BE COMPARED WHEN THEIR RESPECTIVE CAREERS ARE DONE. but since some already do compare (kobe-lebron), ill give you some more facts you can use. through out their careers lebron has been better than kobe in terms of STATS. as we all know, STATS alone are not enough to determine which player is better. duncan considered by many as the best PF to play the game pales in STATS compared to barkley. it simply goes to show that STATS together with ACCOMPLISHMENTS and INTANGIBLES are the factors that matter. but in terms of ACCOMPLISHMENTS lebron falls short. the only accomplishments that lebron has over kobe are ROY and 1 season mvp. other than that kobe has more than doubled lebrons ACCOMPLISHMENTS. kobe has 5 rings or 2 if lebron fans discredit his first 3 rings. kobe has 2 finals mvp. again this has more than doubled lebrons (0). lebron has 2 all star mvps kobe doubled it with 4. lebron has 1 scoring title kobe doubled it with 2. kobe learned to play defense on his 4th year in the league. lebron on the other hand learned to play D on his 6th year. lebron has 3 all defense first team, kobe has 9. again, it more than doubles lebrons actually kobe actually tripled lebrons.. this may not be fair since lebron is still young, and has the potential to surpass kobe, but as some fans already consider him (lebron) to be better this is just a reminder.. respect players..

jordan is the greatest. kobe doesnt stand a chance against mj.be it stat wise, accomplishments or intangibles.ill destroy all the stupid kobe fans who think hes better than jordan. at the same time ill destroy jordan fans who discredit bryant. bottom line RESPECT players, these guys work hard night in night out to be good at what they do..
