When its all said and done both players are and will be legends similar to Jordan and Magic. But when you talk about better or more valuable to a team you would have to go with Kobe Bryant. More championship rings. He has won with Shaq as well as without Shaq.

LeBron is better at filling up the stat sheet. He also has done more with less talent. When Kobe had Luke Walton, Smush Parker, and Chris Mihm as teammates, the Lakers never got past the first round. In 2007, LeBron took a team of Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Anderson Varejao, and Boobie Gibson to the Finals. LeBron also led the Cavs to multiple 60+ win seasons. Many also criticize Kobe for not winning without dominant bigs. He had Shaq for his first three rings and Gasol/Bynum for his other two.

In the long run, LeBron will go down as the better player but the difference isn’t as significant as some make it out to be.

Kobe has played longer, had better teams and racked up more career totals and championships. LeBron has more individual accolades and is still in his prime. The history books will say leBron was better in my opinion.

Passing = LeBron

Scoring = Kobe

Rebounding = LeBron

Defense = LeBron

Los Angeles = Kobe

Cleveland = LeBron

Really depends on what you value more. Scoring? Which LeBron has too but Kobe to another level the man scored 81 points in a game.Or all around game? which Kobe has too but LeBron to another level With the defensive, transition and passing impact.
