Although James and Bryant have never met in the Finals, "23vs24" is still a topic that many fans and the media enjoy tirelessly, who is stronger at the peak of Kobe bryant and James? From the perspective of the media, Kobe Bryant can only see James's taillights, although the media is fickle, but Kobe's historical status has always been relatively stable and has always hovered around ten to fourteen, while James has been in the top five.
In fact, even if the media wants to rank Kobe Bryant in front of James, there is no reason, because Kobe's advantage is that the Mamba spirit still has 5 championships, if Kobe is listed as the second person in history according to this standard, then the NBA's historical status ranking will change dramatically, Jordan is no longer a goat, Russell Jabbar is firmly in the top two, but it seems that Kobe Bryant is still not ranked second.
However, from a personal point of view, I am afraid that most people will be more inclined to Kobe, such as Nets coach Nash, although he as a coach, the right to speak is not very important, but as a player, as a spectator, when asked how to look at James and Kobe, Nash thinks that the latter is the best player he has ever seen, and it is expected that netizens will get this answer.
Nash said, I understand why people think James is first or second, and throughout his career, James' greatness is beyond doubt. But I think Kobe Bryant is the best.
I think I understand what Nash means, when it comes to career statistics, honors, certainly James is stronger, plus Kobe Bryant debuted as a substitute, the end of the big injury, but Kobe is faith, that spirit of not accepting defeat that kind of fierceness, even if maybe in the future Kobe will be squeezed out of the top ten in history, he is still a generation of faith.
Kobe Bryant and James, one pursues perfection, one only wants how to conquer each other and even the other side's fans, maybe James is very comprehensive and takes care of his teammates, but he does not have the spirit of giving up on others, and can only be said to be the perfect embodiment of the database.
And people who really watch NBA games for a long time will not only talk about data, only look at data without talking about the game is on paper, Kobe Bryant at any time to face the defensive pressure is not comparable to any player, two-person bag clip is commonplace, from time to time also three or four people bag clip, it can be seen that everyone attaches different importance to the two.
Even when it comes to honors, you have to think about the gold content, such as James and Birdby, achievements and data James is strong, but you can't say that Bird is not as good as James, because the environment at that time the opponents were very strong, so many very strong players did not have championships, and at any time they had to consider the problem according to the environment at that time.
To put it simply, Jordan pushed basketball to the world, Kobe bryant let basketball fans around the world like this sport, persistence, hard work, not to accept defeat Mamba spirit is always worth learning young people to learn, Curry changed the NBA's decades of routine play, people around the world who play basketball they will learn Kobe's moves, shots, postures, spirit, but rarely learn James.
Kobe Bryant's retirement year regardless of the home and away this treatment is afraid that old Zhan can not enjoy, one person and one city throughout the league can have a few people can do it, fans around the world are afraid that old Zhan is also unattainable, Kobe's greatness is not only in the basketball world.
James can not deny the pride of the sky, talent, if he was not far away from Miami, perhaps his achievements have long surpassed Kobe Bryant, the peak of the group, is also the first person, the Heat waited for the discomfort after the decisive return to the Cavaliers, at that time Irving was already an All-Star player, plus the oversized double-double machine Loew, and then to the Lakers.
Imagine if James retired, wouldn't the teams he stayed in would retire his jerseys? Or go back to the Cavaliers to retire? From this point of view, if compared with Kobe Bryant, old Zhan is still slightly less interesting.
