Kobe did guard LeBron for a full game like 4-5 years ago, held him to like 17 pts on a really bad percentage. Cavs fans were pissed. Lakers won but Kobe had equally as bad a shooting game as LeBron though.

If there was hand checking like in Jordan's day LeBron would be a lot easier to stop. Kobe would still be a beast with his ability to post and work turning corners with his back to the basket.

Different age comparisons... kinda like different era comparisons....

JUST AWFUL

Simple thing is this without a hall of fame coach or at least one top 3 big man Kobe has won 1 playoff series. Lebron went to finals with Larry Hughes, Gooden, Pavlovic and big Z. Same year Kobe was 29. Lebron is beasting @ 29! Lebron's efficiency is incredible and he is the best player on a loaded team!!!!! I will say Lebron!!!

This concept is completely irrelevant to the the lakers, the season, or anything that matters
