When this question is asked one can guarantee that they will pick their favorite, for whatever reason, and actual facts will play very little in the decision. That us nothing new. It literally happens daily in chats, tweets, and group discussions on the internet.
Therefore, I devised a series of legitimate questions to ask. Honest answers of them will yield a clear and obvious answer. Her are the questions.
Was Kobe stronger or more athletic? No
Was Kobe more versatile? No
Did he have a better high school career? No
Has Kobe been a starter his entire career? No
Did Kobe score more points? No
More points per game? No
Faster to 10,000 points? No
Faster to 20,000 points? No
Faster to 30,000 points? No
More assists and/or assists per game? No
More total rebounds and/or rebounds per game? No
Has Kobe Bryant (or Michael Jordan) won an NBA Championship without Phil Jackson? No
Better 3-point shooting percentage? No
Higher Player Valuation Numeric score? No
More steals? No
More blocked shots? No
Higher field goal percentage? No
More Missed Shots? YES - Kobe has missed more field goal attempts than EVERY player in NBA history.
Is Kobe Bryant more valuable/better than Lebron James?
The answer to the last question should be a "no-brainer" at this point. Be prepared for denial, and most likely heated responses, because previously assumed beliefs have just been decimated. Just remember, the truth is still the truth even if no one believes it, and a lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it.
