Kobe or LeBron in their prime?

Watched both of them for years, Kobe controlled games, teams had to come up with specific defenses specifically for him. Even after Shaq.

LeBron most definitley is the better facilitator, and can control games to but he's to nice. He could have easily had several rings in Cleveland if he accepted the fact that he has superhuman size and athleticism and attacked the basket more, but in his position now it doesn't really matter anymore.

All in all, Kobe was harder to stop, LeBron was easier to contain. LeBron however wouldn't continue to put up shots if it wasn't his night and could facilitate and rebound, Kobe would force the issue.

If it's on paper, LeBron. If i'm watching the game myself, it's Kobe.

Only Bandwagoners who never saw Kobe in his prime would say Lebron. Kobe was better.

Kobe was a better scorer in his prime. Although by "better" I just mean he took a lot more shots. He barely made the playoffs when he was in his prime putting up 35 PPG years without Shaq also. Lebron might not even be at his prime yet. I'll take him.

@ Stardust (AKA Leap of Faith) - He's right LeBron is better, the numbers are the numbers man.

EDIT: All I need to say is that vs the 08 Celtics LeBron was able to take it to game 7 with a garbage team while Kobe WITH Pau Gasol got to 6 games.

oh surely it must be lebron. just wat until rob sees this, he'll explain everything and tell you all about it

oh i know Red. Believe me. The Lebron fans remind me and analyze Kobes career EVERY DAY

Its funny how the Lebron fans are still trying to convince people hes better than kobe. You woufd think if it were true, they wouldnt need to argue about it for FIVE F*CKING YEARS
