Kobe is way better than lebron. no doubt bout that.

Because this resolution doesn't specify whether we're talking about Kobe Bryat (KB) and LeBron James (LJ) as people or basketball players, both accounts will be taken into consideration throughout the debate. I submit the following: LeBron James is a behemoth of a player, yet he's agile with exquisite finesse. His versatility is outstanding; there's nothing that this guy can't do on the court. His tremendous size makes him dominant in the league regarding rebounds - both offensive and defensive - and blocks alike. Additionally, despite his size, he's a man of tremendous speed. Currently LeBron James as of last season had more points per game, a better field goal percentage, three-pointers, offensive rebounds, defensive rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. He also had a less foul percentage than Kobe. The numbers here clearly show that LeBron is dominant. Moreover, despite the fact that they entered the NBA at nearly the same age (Kobe was 18 and LeBron was 19), LeBron has had a lot more success and has done a lot more with the basketball than Kobe has, even with a not-so-great team. Additionally, LeBron is the preferable player in certain key situations. For instance, say you're down by 2 with 2 seconds on the clock. You want LeBron with the ball. He'll either get in deep to score the bucket, draw the foul to tie the game, or, best of all, make the shot AND draw the foul to win the game. He's not afraid to get in deep; his size and agility lets him do it (that's what she said) and he's good so he will most likely succeed - the numbers prove that. Regarding age, size, health, strength and team focus all favor James. In part because of that size, James can make a living getting to the cup, whereas Bryant is living on a diet of long balls, pull-ups, breakaways and lobs. LeBron is bigger, faster and arguably stronger with every skill imaginable. LeBron has the physical gifts to do more damage than Kobe (especially as a passer and rebounder) and achieve pretty much anything in this game. LeBron's got more power and better court vision than Kobe, and unlike Kobe, LeBron is a lot more of a team player, which is very important in a team spot like baseball [1]. Speaking of which, Lebron is the hardest working player in the league. Unlike Kobe, he succeeds with the hand he's dealt and not complaining to the media about various immature and selfish team issues. Lebron James constantly makes his team and he makes everyone around him better, and has shown more maturity and poise at his tender age than Kobe has at six years his senior. That brings me to my final point: The future. LeBron James has excelled and produced better numbers than Kobe despite Kobe's 7 year advantage in age and league experience. Keeping that in consideration with James' natural health, stamina and ability shows that LeBron WILL, in fact, be a better player than Kobe for sure if he isn't already (though I believe I've proven he is). Therefore Pro's one lone contention is flat out false with no basis. In conclusion, LeBron James is the better player, team mate and man. He's a productive, over-all better leader, who brings good chemistry to his team. He is the reigning MVP of the league who last got better stats in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, field goal percentage and blocks than Kobe Bryant. Because he only brings good wherever he goes, while Kobe is known to bring controversay and bad media/publicity, I stand by my point: LeBron James is Better than Kobe Bryant.
