agreed.. but lebron never wanted to take the challenge to guard kobe.. he was cautious of getting worked.. remember young kobe guarding jordan? lol. he didn't care of getting schooled.. he was gaining knowledge through the process. lets go lakers! :)

If Lebron came to the nba in around 2015 or 2020. He would’ve averaged more rebounds and assists since the spacing is open. It’s easy to get rebounds these days cuz of the 3pt shooting. Lebron would’ve averaged 20 7 7
@@anxiety1018 I can agree with that. By 2014, he had the rings, two finals mvps, and four straight finals appearances, five total, at that time. And four league mvps.
thank you , awesome to go back and see this, wonder if any NBA players today would countinue to play with a hurt shoulder as Kobe did, I think not. Hilarious to see him try to shoot left-handed, they don't make them like that anymore.
Among the rare occasions where Kobe Bryant's presence was only partially responsible for selling out tickets, underestimating the complexity of these events is akin to unfairly labeling every spectator who purchased a ticket as foolish.
It insane to me how he a rookie during his first time coming in NBA while Lakers right there were building a fucking super team lmfao... shit Rocket 1996 were original super team before this.. and all that hate Lebron get is stupid
It's clear Lebron will be the greatest when his career is over and he might play until age 50! The only other player who could have challenged him was Wilt if he took the game more seriously & worked on his overall skills ( he left MANY championship's & MVP's on his plate). Although back then, coaches wouldn't let big men touch the ball beyond 4 feet of the rim anyway.
This basically summarizes everything. According to the commentator, Kobe wasn't that type of guy who exaggerated emotions when he was hurt. Also, Kobe made sure that he guarded the best man on the opposing team. On the other hand, LeBron will never do that. He loves to flop and exaggerates everything. He doesn't guard the best man either. Kobe also continued to play even though he was hurt. That is a warrior!

The level of defense in 1st quarter was off the charts.
The NBA was in a great place back then because Kobe Lebron Dwade and Tim Duncan respected each other as much as they respected the Game.
Lebron played Gary Payton and then his son that’s just crazy
I was waiting for this all season!! That year.

So weird seeing Baby LeBron without his Fat beard and Sleeve tattoos

This match up looks like when you skip the tutorial of a game and just head to the final boss level
1:37 LeBron is one of the best PGs to ever do it. LeBron plays all 5 positions and can guard all 5.
He's not a point guard is strange to hear nowadays.
