He's able to blow right by Kobe when he wants,and on the defensive end forces Kobe in to touch jumpers.
Kobe cant get by Lebron
Well, one is 6' 8'' and 240lbs and the other is a questionable 6'6'' and 200 lbs. I would expect the 200lb player to have some trouble on both ends of the floor with a just as fast/quick 6'8'' 240lbs player who has as good as if not better athleticism than the 6'6'' player.
The fact is; Kobe scored the way he scores every game today so dont get your panties in a bunch just because those shots didnt go in.
Your comparison is like saying because Carmelo has trouble on both ends of the floor playing against someone like D Howard because Howard would block many shots and have ease scoring against Melo, so Howard>Melo
(Yes howard is better than Melo but not because of the reasosn above)
