Michael Jordan vs Kobe Bryant vs Lebron James - Who Is The Greatest

[nelsonrc24]

I just dont believe people still put Kobe on these. Hes way below the other 2 and many many other players.

[pinchegringo]

Oscar Robertson was Kobe +1, but who remembers him ?

You mean Magic was Oscar 2.0...and LBJ is Oscar 3.0, and Kobe is MJ 0.5.

Breed lebron and Britney griner

Man I hope Griner wants to have a kid someday and chooses her donor wisely!! Personally I would hope she chose a center.

[pinchegringo]

MJ
Magic
Russell

LeBron might hang when its all over

Nobody ever puts centers on this which is ridiculous but following the no center rule how LBJ isn't already on it is beyond me. The list of players with 4 MVPs is 5 people. 3 of which are centers, proving both points.

Even with centers the list should be Kareem, Russell, Magic and Bird has been replaced by LBJ easily.

[lakerboy]

Kobe does not belong in this conversation

Your input is not needed.

[t-wizzle]

Kobe still above James for the time being.

[TheMoneyShot]

Wilt Chamberlain, greatest player ever. Banged 20k women and never accused of rape, that's strong game.

This.

Any guy who bangs that many broads without being accused of anything must be hung like a Horse. Ain't no girl going to complain.

[pinchegringo]

Your input is not needed.

You would think that but they put him in the video so it needed to be said.

I agree. I always keep Big O in my top 10. Kobe doesn't make my top 10

[pinchegringo]

I haven't looked at this in a while and stopped at 34 for MJ and Kobe.

Kobe leads in nothing. For people saying LBJ isn't as good as a jump shooter he has the best EFG% and the best 3p%.

[The Giant]

Kobe is third.

The rest is to be determined.

[eidolon]

MJ
Magic
Russell

LeBron might hang when its all over

Russell? Please, I would rather have big shot Rob on my team then him

[play4win]

You mean Magic was Oscar 2.0..

are you fackin serious? there's only 1 magic.
maybe bron is very poor man oscar. since oscar actually tripple double for entire season!

[pinchegringo]

Don't get too hung up in the numbers. I just mean LBJ, Magic and Oscar all share lot more with their game than what LBJ and MJ do.

[dlunc3]

Kobe should not even be in the same sentence as those other two

[meader99]

Of the three listed, there is only 1 that hasn't been accused of quitting.

[smoke a bowl]

Of the three listed, there is only 1 that hasn't been accused of quitting.

And he quit for 2 years.

[daneblazer]

Better athlete: Lebron or Ttwarrior

[The Giant]

And he quit for 2 years.

....and then quit again.

[Ra77er]

Giant very passionate about Lebron.

[meader99]

And he quit for 2 years.

He actually retired. The other two took their ball and went home during playoff games.

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Leprawn funking james men.

What a Champion.

[WiseOne]

MJ is #1 clearly. He was playing against legends and was dominant.

Kobe is better than LeBron. Kobe won 3 in a row with a star player and cast members. And won 2 in a row in a tough conference with zero stars for teammates just role players.

LeBron has had cakewalk to the finals each year. He also has never had to play a tough season out west. He hasn't given us 1 memorable moment yet. Name it if you disagree? Where is Lebrons crossover game winning shot to win a championship? Where is his Karl Malone steal to gain possession to win a championship? Where is his slam dunk FT championship poster? Where is his change hands layup? Just nothing. Lebron is the best player today in the NBA in an era that proves the NBA has little talented stars left. Kobe stays healthy he can do some damage. But will he stay healthy?



MJ and Kobe were clutch. LeBron is not. He will one day be in the top 5 or 6.


1. MJ
2. Russell
3. Magic
4. Bird
5. Kobe

[WiseOne]

Also compare stats is hard now cause Lebron's avg will go down in a few seasons as he will have different role. Just like MJ's did when he played for the wizards

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

LePrawn hate is embarrassing

[Ra77er]

I would name my daughter after him without hesitation.

LePrawnisha DRybak sounds awesome.

No Wilt? May have been the best athlete of all. Track star at Kansas.

Didn't see Wilt, Big-O, Russell in their prime so I'm throwing them out.

1. MJ
2a. Magic
2b. Bird
4. Jabaar

LeBron better than Kobe. Kobe shooting % is too low.

[Menses]

I would respectfully ask that you please refrain from including Kobe's name in any sentence that includes Lebron and Jordan..the two have virtually nothing to do with the other...let the cookie monster explain...

The way Cookie Monster moves make me uncomfortable.

I learned a lot from cookie monster...

[Goat Milk]

Most likely 90% of you never watched Bill Russell play. Russel was an offensive liability on his teams..... He was a great player. Great. Putting him in the discussion for best player ever is pure stupidity and shows me you either never watched Russell play or don't understand basketball. Anyone that is not a dominate offensive player cannot be considered the best ever. You have to do it on both ends. Bryant is 1st team all NBA on both sides of the floor most of his career. Same with Jordan and Lebron.

Do you guys even understand why stats were so inflated in the 60s and 70s? Please, go watch the era of basketball in depth before making dumb statements.

[raiders72001]

LeBron's stats are also inflated from playing point forward. He gets the assists of a point guard and then the defensive rebounds of a forward.

[The Giant]

Inflated stats.



You guys are the best.

[The Kraken]

Lebron is Jordan 2.0

Jordan was the original, the guy that could drop 50, hit a game winner and be a lockdown defender

Lebron does those things as well + rebound and he can do it all positions

Jordan more efficient, Lebron more dominant
