He has a post game, He is a far superior shooter, He plays better man defense, and he has proven to be more clutch than Lebron at this point in time... Who had the ball at the end of games for Team USA? Kobe
Not to turn this into a kobe vs lebron thread. Kobe is a finesse player and lebron is a physical bulldozer. if you clog the lane and force lebron to take jumpshots, he "might" not be so effective if you force kobe to drive, he might get your whole squad in foul trouble
Kobe a finesse player? LMAO. This is a lot like the Hakeem vs Shaq debates.. Hakeem and Kobe have no weaknesses in their game at their positions, both are really skilled players that don't solely rely on their freakish athletic ability to dominate a game like Shaq and Lebron. Personally I prefer the more overall skilled dominant players over the limited in skill but freakishly athletic dominant players. You can tell who had to work really hard to become as great as they've become.. I appreciate hard work and perfection to one's game just a bit more.. but again this is just my opinion.
