What Year Did LeBron Become At Least as Good As Kobe?

LeBron was obviously a better player, but in what season did he become as good as Kobe?

Was it 2005-2006? 2007-2008? or was it not until 2010?

2008 he was on Kobe’s level, but worse. 2009 he was better.

2007. Lebron actually had a weird start to his career in 05 and 06. He was really good but weirdly not as impactful as his stats. But if someone argued for 2006 I wouldn't fight very hard

Kobe isn't even close to Lebron

2008 is the last year you can argue that Kobe was better. 2009 and so on LeBron has been either clearly better or significantly better

Over a decade ago.

Probably 2007 or 2008. Wasn't a debate too long after. Maybe 09 at the latest? I don't even remember it was a while ago and quite early in his career.

I would say in 2011 people largely still felt Kobe was better. But then again I live in LA so...

Thats not true. One goat level game doesnt push him that far forward.

2007, Kobe was never on that level, check the stats, check the carry job.
