Kobe was definitely my favorite player of all time. It is a shame we never got a finals between him and James
Kobe was there Lebron got beat by Dwight that year and the year before that he got beat by the Celtics in the 2nd Round 🤦🏿♂️
strange? bron had an insane series 39 8 8. he was the ebst in the world that year.@@gluggerluggger
@@breadfeb2750 Lebron averaged 38,5 8 8 with 2,5 stocks in that series against Orlando...
@breadfeb2750 if only lebron had a hall of fame big man by his side like kobe.
@@breadfeb2750 Turns out it's easier to dominate against Varejao and Big Z than it is against Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum
One of the best rivalry of recent memory. These two subconsciously pushed each other. It was fun to watch.
Kobe pushed Lebron & himself... consciously
This wasn't a rivalry sadly. It was completely one sided for lebron and Kobe had injury issues
how's it a rivalry when lebron never beat kobe?
@@nathanbraun2067 in regular season games he did
lol. Lebron owned Kobe. Both in team head to head; and especially individually head to head.
Looking back "Kobe or Lebron" debate was such a luxury to have. The ultimate winner is us the fans. Thanks for all the memories, kobe
Lebron and Kobe are two of the GOATs and to be someone that was able to see them compete is a blessing. Rip Kobe, we miss you.
Lebron ain’t no goat, losing 6finals will never be goat worthy stop letting the Media Jedi mind trick you
@@dywansanders yea whatever
@@ezekielchristiannnn blame lebron not me
How can you talk about two GOATs? How does that even make sense ?
There can only be one GOAT and LeBron is not it. Sorry, a player who loses 6 NBA Finals and gets swept several times in the Play Offs can not be the GOAT. A Lakers fan here!
The fact that we never got a Finals matchup between these two stars will forever be one of the biggest What Ifs in NBA history.
True. Lebron was always there (8 straight years) but Kobe just couldn't make it
@@gokuswanson2037and the one time there was a chance in 09, Dwight Howard spoiled the fun 😢
@@_CRUMP_Lebron waited for Kobe in 2007 but he was too busy choking a 3-1 lead against the Suns 😂
@@gokuswanson2037this is the time when lebron has a chance in a comparison against kobe. in a comparison against an injured and out out prime kobe.
@@gokuswanson2037 Kobe went three straight years 2 against Boston and one against the Magic. Both of those teams beat the Cavs to get the finals. So who it was James it couldn’t lead his team and had to run and form a super team to compete.
RIP KOBE💛💜
Yes
Legends never die gone but not forgotten 😢😭😭😭
Thank you
Long live Mamba🐍
Slay has queen
Both are great and unstoppable legends! REST IN PEACE KOBE 🕊️
Unstoppable is a stretch but i get were your coming from
True. But Kobe isn’t even close to being as good as Lebron.
Yeah they are
No lebron isn't on Kobe's level.

2009 was supposed to be kobe vs lebron in the finals but it was too good to be true

I’m glad Lebron didn’t make it honestly the cavs would’ve lost and Kobe fans would’ve tried to use that to say he was better
@@Themegatrolll me being a Lebron fan don’t care, I just really wanted to see a Kobe vs Bron finals 😭
Damn man I miss the 2000s. I miss this era. This new generation is stacked with talent, but nothing like when the mamba was around duelling with young bron and other legends
I feel you it’s just different. Not as authentic or competitive. Maybe I’m trippping but 2000’s we’re so different
I'll always be grateful to witnessing the two greatest athletes of my generation. It doesn't matter who the better player is for me, just watching both of them compete makes you realize you're watching the 2 best players in the court.
Well said. I don't even want to waste a thought who was better. It was just awesome seeing them face up.
I feel the same way! I absolutely HATE when folks start that comparing shit. It takes away the joy of just seeing 2 greats be great!
In that match up at the Olympics I saw a lot of similarities between them and Mj and Magic back in 1992, what a feeling
I miss Kobe and I’m glad lebron has been able to stay relatively healthy in his later years
Yeah me too
Let's enjoy Lebron while he is still playing 😊
"Relatively healthy" 🤣 ive NEVER seen a more non injury prone athlete in my life. Kobe broke fingers, his knees, acl. No disrespect but damn. Lebron is pure titanium
@@jer8279 I mean over his career sure but his lakers tenure his first year he got hurt they missed playoffs the year after the ring he got hurt again they had to go into the play in and lost in round 1 compared to any other 39 year old ever hes insanely durable but for lebron it’s been noticeable
and he still needs superteams to catch up to kobe
bruh the amount of research you did to make this video is amazing.
been waiting for this
When you know you are playing against someone as competitive as Kobe or Lebron, it will push you to be competitive as well. These guys were motivated playing against each other because it motivates you to play your A-game.
Also shows how much easier is to get a good fg% in 2023. You rarely if ever read of a 5/20 FG game by James these days despite being far from his physical prime. It's so much easier to get to the rim now. The 2000s were the last decade of balanced basketball with both offense and defense being played/allowed.

False lol
No doubt about it players today dont prioritized defense and sometimes the officials dont call travels.
@@johanliebert9400 excuses lol keep em comin 🤣🤣

Fantastic video ❤
Kobe’s injury history is actually insane Lowkey
Facts on facts
Kobe the man for playing through alot of them
Cause the dumbass overtrained. Talking about I only sleep 4 hours. Mf should have slept like a normal person 8-10 hrs
@@Rixx432they should do a short film on it I bet he was never healthy
Kobe is my favorite, nor the GOAT, but people dismiss he played a lot when he shouldnt have, and didn't play when he should have early in his career. Kobes injuries are his fault though. He should've "load managed." Sounds weak, but he tore his ACL going way too many minutes a game at 34. Would KOBE "agree" hell no
Blessed to have witnessed this amazing time in sports history.
Witch part the part where Lebrun ruined basketball
well done with this video 🙏
Great vid
They both made each other greater. They compliment each other very well.
the craziest part is kobe is a 46% shooter and lebron is a 51% shooter but when they matched up , kobe shot 42% and lebron shot 46% just goes to show the level of defence that they played against each other
Incorrect. Let me give you some real facts n real numbers.
Head to head: Bron was literally light work to Kobe. When literally guarding each other on iso plays, kobe scored 20 points ppg while lebron scored 7 points ppg …. Also, when guarding each other, Kobe scores those 20 on a fg% of 54% while lebron had a fg% of 27% when kobe was on him…so on Offense or on defense ..Kobe completely dominated lebron. Pure skill. There’s levels to it. This video isn’t about Kobe vs Bron. It’s about the lakers vs whatever team lebron was on or created at the time. Cuz one on one..Kobe ate.
@@MusicMakesAdiff23that’s what espn doesn’t tell his fans 😂
Kobe's shots had a higher degree of difficulty than LeBron's shots. Hence the difference in shooting percentage.
@fattony9227 "degree of difficulty"? Is that what we're calling hitting the back iron over 2 defenders when a teammate was wide open? It's funny when the macro numbers don't add up in the popular players' favor (Kobe was 6-16 head to head v LeBron teams) some run to ad hoc micro analysis to explain why Kobe didn't dominate LeBron.
@@MusicMakesAdiff23 LeBron's 16-6 record vs Kobe stretched 2004-2016. All I hear from every corner of sports media was _"LeBron's title runs were overrated....he dominated the LEastern conference."_ If this was true, Kobe Laker's teams, regardless, shouldve made quick work of any LeBron-led team. Funny when Kobe doesn't have the 1 v 1 statistical upper hand, its no longer an individual sport, *it's about the team.* But when career ranking conversations come up, "team" flies out the window and it's just the 1 player.
@nonstop, can you please tell me the name of that beat rite at 11:14, when they start talking about Dawhite Howard.. if u can... i really want it.. ty❤
This is a very good watch! Forget who you think is better, the story of both players is amazing!
With all the challenges and adversity kobe had to face and what he has overcome, I don't get how people have him outside the top 3-5 all time
Cause…he wasn’t
@@hunterdoesstuff3747kobe is the goat 🐐
Adversity was being in a stacked team with prime shaq and Phil ? Kobe is not top 5 , but it's not like he's that much lower. He is still one of the greatest.
Didn't that corrupt ref admit that the league helped the lakers get to the finals twice?
He wasn’t it’s that simple
watching MJ when I was a kid, Kobe when I was a teen, and LBJ as an adult is something I can be proud and tell stories to my grandchildren

16-6 remember that
the ball hit the bottom metal edge of the rim and swish at the same time i done that before its when u perfectly avoid that long brick of the back of rim so if u wouldve shot any other way ot wouldve bricked 😑

one of the best iconic rivalry ever!!! event I can't choose one of them... both of them are my favorite!!! 🦁🐍💜💛❤

The fact we never got a playoff battle between them annoys me.
Two things you can blame for that: Cleveland management(08,09, 2010), and Dirk Nowitzki(2011).
Of course cuz their teams aren’t in the same conferences
Pretty wild that the 2007 to 2018 Finals featured either Kobe or LeBron but they never met.
12 straight finals series.
@@synapse913 and Dwight Howard's Magic
kobe would had won
Dwight Howard and the Orlando magic prevented a Kobe vs lebron matchup in the finals but yet still I think the lakers would win
Most likely since the Cavaliers had a much worse roster compared to the Lakers. LeBron had to average 38-8-8 just to compete against the magic
In 2011 could have happened but got stomped by Dallas then again n 2013
So you gonna ignore every single year Kobe failed to reach finals after 2010😂
@@1vaultdwellerAs a Koby fan this is hilarious, you got us on that one..

Just shows lebrons greatness he was a youngster going at one of the best players in his prime buf still was amazing
Lebron is STILL in his prime 🤣
That's like saying Zion went up against LBJ when he came lol stop it.
Their rivalry is the definition of greatness. Seeing a young Bron against prime Kobe, to an old Kobe against a prime Lebron is just perfect.
Not really. Lebron never went at Kobe. He usually always called for picks and switches to get the mismatch where as Kobe wanted Lebron straight up to prove who was better.
@@dominiquewilson LeBron plays chess, it's 5v5 not 1v1.

@@pablosnackbar6417 Fr
@@pablosnackbar6417yeah because they added KD lol. If the second and third best players of an era have to team up to beat the best it doesn’t mean they’re better individual players. LeBron had the Cavs up in 2015 even though the Cavs lost the second and third best players. This is why focusing on rings to determine the best players is nonsensical. It’s a team sport.
Never,ever thought Lebron would be the nba's all time scoring champ. EVER. LOL. This was a very GOOD video,I'm gonna watch one of their match-up games on youtube. Totally different nba back then compared to todays nba. I didn't miss many games back then,like I do now. LOL.
The first sec of the video was fire already
Remember that last line. Cause one on one matchs up against greats like this wont come again. 💜💛
Imagine how awesome it would've been if they ever met in the Finals.
They didn’t need to. Lebron team would have won. Why would we need to see that. Lebron teams won 16 out of their 22 Matchuos against kobe teams.
@@jrsmith1998 random regular season matchups and playoff series are very different from eachother
Yeah who do you think wins it
Past regular season games are useful only for the bettors and oddsmakers since it will determine who would be the favorite and the underdog. Lebron having the better head-to-head record simply means that he has the batter probability to win, not to ACTUALLY win.

Bro, u better post their every possession against each other
Being able to lock down prime lebron james on defense 1v1 while being older than him is just insane
Lebron don’t have a bag , that’s how. His midrange is subpar, footwork was NEVER elite. 70% of his shots come from within 3ft of the goal
@@Vortex_Feedz Lebron is arguably the most versatile player ever. What are you smokin
@shrayesraman5192 versatile overall and versatile on offense are 2 different things and unfortunately rather u believe it or not, Brons offense game isn't that versatile. He is gifted though and blessed with size and speed so he doesn't have to do much to score but yeeeaaa he's predictable forsure.
@@shrayesraman5192 I’m smoking gas, and u must play with yo nose, if u think lebron is the MOST versatile player ever.
@@jakoreyaj take away his driving angle to the rim , he can’t give you consistent midrange jumpers like MJ, Kobe, even KD.
Arguably the only player of the modern era that could legitimately compete with Kobe in terms of not worshipping him and not being dominated by Kobe. People don't realize that Bron himself had a strong personality. Kobe had a fierce personality but to be honest by about 2009 most people had accepted that Bron was the better player. Kobe I feel peaked in 2008 but Bron peaked in 2016. The 2 never really met at their peaks.
Kobes peak is 2006 and Lebrons is 2013. But those years are among their primes.
Probably the most non-biased take on their head to head. There were dynamics, roster changes, team changes that could have contributed to the numbers. Numbers don't tell the whole story. It's not like every game their defensive assignments were automatically set against each other. At the end of the day it's just social media spurring debates but we all know there was no animosity between these two. Just respect
Fun video. It made me realize, looking back, that Team USA Basketball has a history of being the venue for passing the torch from one Gen of stars to the next...

Doesn’t matter. Lebron had 3 chances to face Kobe in the finals but failed each time. Yes they couldve faced off in 2007 but what no one ever mentions is how that 2007 lakers team was just as bad as the cavs and they had to play in a much tougher western conference

Both greats legends of the game. 🐐’s.
RIP to one of my favorite player of all time 🖤
Kobe was the better player but injuries and bad teams in the mid-2000s combined with awful teams in the 2010s and more injuries plus LeBron’s first superteam helped shape a winning record for LeBron. Kobe really needed to rest more to prevent injury 😪😪😪
I know this is a Kobe and Lebron vid. I enjoy both players. No one ever got me like MJ did though. MJ in his prime was really something to watch. Not only the skill, but the determination, fire, compassion…. And yes, facial expressions MJ had along with skill on all sides of the game, MJ in his prime probably was the best to ever do it.
AGREED.Lots of hand-checking in MJ's era,plus MJ was constantly getting hammered driving to the rim.The Pistons just threw and pounded MJ to the ground-REPEATEDLY. LOL. Hard fouls were the norm when MJ entered the nba,plus dunking on fellow players was a sign of disrespect in MJ's earilier days in the league and they'd retaliate against you most times.
The 09 finals we never had 😢
Love to see non-biased journalism like this. “Championship Wise” don’t mean anything. Team sport. Is all about the full roster. Not just one player.
16-6 with better stats and efficiency. There’s no angle to this where Kobe is better than Bron. People gonna claim winning doesn’t matter in this matchup but then use it for legacy.
brons better but its not cause of 16-6 matchup. its cause of 4 mvps and 4 fmvps and simply being more dominant
whats on paper doesnt dicate whos better on the court. if kobe is the closest thing to mj that means everyone else is under mj AND kobe. opinions dont make players better than others. people who think stats on paper dicates wins are idiots
@@nomercyinc6783notice how numbers and records only work when it's in LBJ favor. Say ok MJ better because he has better stats ( all advanced analytics say Jordan overall stats better ) and he 6-0 in the finals and LBJ 4-6. Watch them now change the measuring stick..
@@nomercyinc6783 Having a similar skill set to MJ doesn’t make him better than LeBron. There are other ways to play basketball and dominant games. LeBron at his peak was better than Kobe.
