LBJ is at or near the top every year in individual player performance according to advanced metrics, while you could argue that Kobe wasn't even a top 5 player in his prime nor the best player on his own team most of his career.

Advanced metrics, lol. It's the game of basketball, really. How complicated is it to simply say, one player has shown throughout his impressive career that he chokes with the game on the line. One player folds like a lawnchair on the biggest stages that he's reached. And one excels under pressure. If you need advanced metrics to answer that Q, then I digress.

And please don't produce some mathematical chart trying to argue that Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are mislabeled as clutch... whereas your ringless King is actually (unbeknownst to all folks not privy to the super duper advanced metrics) somehow clutch.
