Basketball wise LeBron is still not yet better than Bryant. Kobe is a better scorer and can score in many ways. Bryant is the best closer in the game but Jame's is not the guy you want with the ball in his hands with five ticks left. Bryant has a much better and more consistent shot which he can take games over with anytime.
James gets most of his points off of pure athletic ability and strength by taking it to the hole. Bryant is obviously a better ball handler and he is also a better leader. Now I know people think James is a better leader but why did James not get past the Magic? Everyone started to blame LeBron's supporting cast. All year long his supporting cast was the reason he got there was it not? He had an all-star in Mo Williams and nobody said anything about his teammates when they were predicting the Cavs to win it all.
But in the series against Orlando, LeBron's and the Cavs weaknesses were exposed. The Orlando Magic were letting LeBron take open shots and he was missing them. LeBron was to nice to his teammates all year long and was having to much fun but then James could not yell or demand good play from his teammates like Kobe does. Bryant averaged 32 ppg and about 8 apg against the Magic in the Finals and the way they played him was much harder than the way they played LeBron. All playoffs long Bryant was torching teams that were supposed to stop him but they too learned he was unstoppable. LeBron faced the Hawks and the Pistons than when a good team came he was not ready. The Orlando Magic players said it themselves that he was harder to guard than James.
So you can say everything negative about Bryant that you want but this playoffs there was one legit argument left, hey I'll even say two by including the whole ring without Shaq thing. But Bryant went out and proved everyone wrong once again. Proving he can win it without Shaq and proving he is still the best in the world. What other unfair arguments are left? What are you haters going to say now? Stop hating and face the truth. The truth is Kobe Bryant is a legend and is the best player in the game.
