It's hard. both guys had cons and pros.
One thing I give Kobe the edge over Lebron is, Kobe's never say die attitude. I've seen Bron pack it in, in the 2016 Finals before Kyrie sparked the comeback.. I've seen Bron's defeated body language in Overtime become contagious in the 2017 NBA Finals after JR's blunder.
However, Bron is a better teammate. Although Bron is passive aggressive, and I rather respect a brotha that tells me the truth to my face, and tell me "yo fam u gotta work on xyz." As oppose to passive aggressively telling me "it's all good" then run to management to complain about me.
However, One thing I can't stand is someone who disrespects another person, and belittles his teammates knowing damn well he does it because he's protected. Kobe knew if u touch him, he'll run to management and get u off the team. Bron is not doing that, belittling his teammates.
Both guys had horrible finals performances. Kobe in 04' and 08'. And Kobe damn near sabotaged the Lakers in 2010. Bron in 07', and 2011.
Both guys play counterintuitive to a system. Kobe with his shoot over 3 defenders shit, and Lebron with his Bron ball. With that said, when Bron brought into Spo's system I have Bron right behind Shaq as the most unstoppable force I've ever seen.
However, bigs thrived playing with Kobe. I feel that Kobe would of had the most out of Chris Bosh, K.Love, and A.D...
Anyways Kobe had all the moves. But Bron has an higher I.Q... Rarely in 23 years did I look at my screen in disgust, and ask "what the fuck is Bron trying to do"?
Bron the better passer, more efficient scorer. Kobe the more dynamic scorer. Scoring wise outside of shot selection, Kobe had no weakness. Bron has weaknesses, but he has a better shot selection.
Kobe was able to play off ball. Bron doesn't. Even tho he was at his best when he did in Miami.
This is hard, but If I'm selecting a player to build my team around, I'm going with
Tim Duncan.

APPRECIATE THE BREAKDOWN
HOWEVER, YOU JAMMED ALL THE CASUAL TALKING POINTS INTO ONE POST
KOBE'S BASKETBALL IQ IS LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF LEBRONS.. FOR INSTANCE, WE ALL KNOW LEBRON PLAYS FOR STATS- HE VIRTUALLY NEVER SAW AHEAD AND MADE THE PASS THAT LED TO THE PASS, BUT RATHER WENT FOR THE DIRECT ASSISTS THAT MADE THE HIGHLIGHT REEL. KOBE WAS A VISIONARY WHO STUDIED THE GAME AND ALWAYS PUT PEOPLE IN THEIR SWEET SPOTS, SEEING PLAYS UNFOLD WELL IN ADVANCE IN THE TRIANGLE. IF U DONT BELIEVE ME, JUST WATCH HOW HE BREAKS IT DOWN IN HIS SHOW "DETAIL" ON ESPN.. LEBRON DID NOT HAVE THIS ABILITY, HE WAS ALWAYS MORE DIRECT WITH HIS GAME LIKE HE PLAYIN PICK-UP BALL..
WHICH LEADS ME TO YOUR OTHER TALKING POINT OF LEBRON BEING THE BETTER TEAMMATE.. THIS IS ANOTHER CASUAL TALKING POINT THATS BEEN THOROUGHLY DEBUNKED. LIKE I SAID, WHILE KOBE DEMANDED THE MOST OUT HIS TEAMMATES, HE ALWAYS GOT THE BEST OUT OF THEM AND PUT THEM IN POSITIONS TO SUCCEED.. WHILE LEBRON HAS BEEN NOTORIOUS FOR HINDERING THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS TEAMMATES, TURNING STARS INTO ROLE PLAYERS AND ROLE PLAYERS INTO SCRUBS.. IF U WANTED SOMEONE WHO WOULD SMILE IN YOUR FACE, BE BUDDY-BUDDY WITH U, THEN TRY TO GET U TRADED BEHIND THE SCENES, LEBRON IS THE ONE.
YOU BRING UP TERRIBLE FINALS PERFORMANCES AS IF ITS EQUAL.. NONE COMPARE TO 2011, WHERE LEBRON WAS SO ATROCIOUS, HAD HE EVEN PLAYED AS GOOD AS A LOU WILLIAMS TYPE PLAYER, MIAMI SWEEPS THAT SERIES... KOBE UNDERPERFORMED IN 04, BUT SO DID THE ENTIRE LAKERS, AND 08 IS NOT ATTRIBUTED TO KOBE AT ALL.. BUT 2011 IS 100% ALL ON LEBRON.
AS FOR BUYING INTO A SYSTEM, KOBE IS LITERALLY GOATED FOR BUYING INTO THE TRIANGLE AND LIMITING HIS INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT WHEN HE COULDVE AVERAGED 40 PPG PLAYING IN A FREE FLOWING OFFENSE IN HIS PRIME.. LEBRON NEVER REALLY PLAYED IN A REAL SYSTEM, AND WHEN HE GOT CLOSE, EVEN SPO HAD TO ADJUST HIS SYSTEM TO CATER TO LEBRON AFTER THE 2011 MELTDOWN..
I CAN KEEP GOING, BUT HAD TO ADDRESS THOSE TALKING POINTS, AT THE VERY LEAST..
ALSO, VOTE ON THE POLL BRODIE
