If we’re being honest, even with the complaining and team-hopping I think LeBron is an easy low-Top 10. I’ve got him at 8. It’s important to be honest about analyzing these players’ legacies, or other takes aren’t going to be taken seriously. Kobe is, bare minimum, Top 5, but who’s going to take you seriously saying that when you’re also saying Bron isn’t at least in the Top 10 discussion?
@@LobaGold Lots of people don’t have him top 10. Its nothing new. A lot of people won’t take things seriously if they don’t agree with it. That’s just the way it is. You can’t please everyone with an opinion.
When Kobe was playing I hated him so much. At one point the media was doing the same with Kobe in the Goat debate comparing him to Jordan and it rubbed me the wrong way then. Now I miss him so much! How times have changed.
Same here. Used to hate Shaq and Kobe. I was a huge MJ fan and Iverson helped me over the tough times when MJ retired. I couldn't appreciate Kobe cos he was such a MJ knockoff, evem talking like MJ. So I hated him but I newer DISRESPECTED him. I actually liked LeBron his first few years but grew to disrespect him and now I am a genuine hater.
Here's my theory. The media kept hyping up EVERY young and talented wing as "the next MJ." First it was Grant Hill, then Vince Carter, then Kobe, then LeBron, then etc. But it took until Kobe RETIRED for people to examine the historical record and the STYLE OF PLAY to realize: It is IMPOSSIBLE to play like MJ unless you are PRETERNATURALLY GIFTED. Nobody can even IMITATE MJ because his combination of SKILL, Fundamentals, High hopes IQ, and Athleticism have never been seen before....until Kobe. Kobe is the ONLY one to really do MJs skill-level, real justice, and give fans a view of what MJ was like - UNGUARDABLE. 81 Point Kobe was like "oh crap, so this is what THE BEST VERSION OF MJ would do in this era!" There's a REASON MJ has said the ONLY player who might be able to beat him one on one is Kobe. Kobe ACTUALLY UPLIFTED MJs legacy because he showed that in order to PLAY LIKE MJ, you LITERALLY have to be the HARDEST WORKING ATHLETE EVER, and even then you might end up a ring short (6rings for MJ > 5rings for Kobe). MJ is the GOAT, Kobe is #2 EVER. Kobe won more with less talent than Kareem and Magic and Bird and Wilt and Russell. Kobe BLOWS LeBron away. LeBalco, even with all his PEDs (Chael Sonnen EPO), can't touch Kobe.
@@feynmanschwingere_mc2270 There always has to be the next best thing and because Jordan had such a cultural impact on the league and society they will always try to replicate that instead of promoting their stars.

You don’t need to look at the media to see Kobe has one regular season mvp and 2 scoring titles. If Kobe’s best attribute was his scoring and yet Allen iverson has more of those than him it’s not a crime to say hey this guy is not better than lebron or even Kareem. Even if someone put Kobe 10 all time that’s really a compliment considering all the nba players that have played the game.

And at the end of the day we are discussing who is the best basketball player, as far as mastering the game of basketball. Every aspect offensive and defensive without having any weaknesses or at least the least weaknesses in their game, skill set, etc. And LeBron is very limited compared to other greats as far as basketball skill, and mastery. And then there is the fact LeBron is more known for losing than winning. There is no way a true basketball fan would put LeBron in the top 5.

@danieldang3908 Stats only tell so much of a story. When you take a deeper look and compare the two, then it's Kobe all day. Kobe played in a stacked Western conference and still won back to back finals without a top 75 player. In fact, he's the only player to do so. He has more 40 points, 50 points, and 60 point games than Lebron. Kobe was the reason why that Redeem Team won the gold in 2008 and 2012. Without Kobe, they lose. And don't say it's because Lebron was a rookie. MJ won gold as a rookie, so if Lebron is supposedly the GOAT, he should have done it when he had the chance. Kobe has more all-defensive team selections, so he's better at defense and offense. Also, Kobe's mindset is infinitely stronger than Lebron. Nah man, people that know basketball realize that Kobe will always be better than Lebron.

@@TWJCole Of course he didn't. That is because LeBron gets up and runs away to other teams like a girl when the going gets tough _WITHOUT even negotiating, let alone issuing an ultimatum._ He just pisses himself away....or gets the coach and teammates fired, whichever is easier to him. _LeBron is all about sub-mensch behavior; making excuses and pointing the finger._
LBJ has super shooters like 1.Ray Allen - Miami Heat 2. Kyle Korver - Cleveland Cavaliers 3. J.R. Smith - Cleveland Cavaliers 4. Danny Green - Los Angeles Lakers 5. Mike Miller - Miami Heat. but Lebrick has never give them credits. Actually, they're all masks for LeBrick's ineptitude.
The thing is the media brainwash is so real people will forget or call scrubs those great pieces like Smith, Green or Korver who would be considered major help in any other legend's case. It is an ongoing systematic degradation of every good player that have helped Lebron reach the finals or a ring and it started more brutally from his 2014 finals loss and his 2nd stint with the Cavs when we saw a top-5 PF of the decade (Kevin Love) be thrown around in media conversations like he is a plumber. Truly an insanse revision of history. Lebron's career is one of the most perfect cases of propaganda in recent history not only in sports but in general.
Don't forget about James Jones, Miami Heat. He was a 3pt sniper as well. Lets also not forget about Kevin Love and Rashad Lewis, who were both 3pt specialist as well. This guy, LeBron, has had all the best 3pt shooters of our time period on his team except for the splash brothers. The only sniper Kobe ever had in his corner was Robert Horry, and that's it.
Ain’t no way LeBron had a greater impact on winning than Kobe with his 2011 meltdown and forgetting how to play basketball. Not when Kobe was winning rings when that 2009-10 roster and a torn ligament in his f’ing shooting hand. AINT NO WAY!!!! Smh

He's PERENNIALLY leading ALL PLAYERS in the Finals in Turnovers. All this despite having the most help.

In fact, Kobe covered for Shaq a lot of times when Shaq was sitting out from having surgery, being out of shape, or being stuck in foul trouble. Without both of those guys playing together at the height of their powers, the Lakers don't 3-peat back then.
Kobes last 2 championships has more impact then any of lebron championships. Considering lebron stack his teams and try to cheat his way to a championship kobe still has one more over him.

Even my mother knew about kobe's greatness and she don't even watch basketball. We are Mexicans, in Mexico people barely watch basketball and everyone knew how good Kobe was. By the way, Jordan was so great that the 98 finals were a big deal here. Everyone watched Jordan's final games with Chicago, it was like the Olympic Games, all the televisions had their games on. I have never seen another basketball player do that.

Here's my theory. The media kept hyping up EVERY young and talented wing as "the next MJ." First it was Grant Hill, then Vince Carter, then Kobe, then LeBron, then etc.
But it took until Kobe RETIRED for people to examine the historical record and the STYLE OF PLAY to realize:
It is IMPOSSIBLE to play like MJ unless you are PRETERNATURALLY GIFTED. Nobody can even IMITATE MJ because his combination of SKILL, Fundamentals, High hopes IQ, and Athleticism have never been seen before....until Kobe.
Kobe is the ONLY one to really do MJs skill-level, real justice, and give fans a view of what MJ was like - UNGUARDABLE.
81 Point Kobe was like "oh crap, so this is what THE BEST VERSION OF MJ would do in this era!"
There's a REASON MJ has said the ONLY player who might be able to beat him one on one is Kobe.
Kobe ACTUALLY UPLIFTED MJs legacy because he showed that in order to PLAY LIKE MJ, you LITERALLY have to be the HARDEST WORKING ATHLETE EVER, and even then you might end up a ring short (6rings for MJ > 5rings for Kobe).
MJ is the GOAT, Kobe is #2 EVER. Kobe won more with less talent than Kareem and Magic and Bird and Wilt and Russell.

And at the end of the day we are discussing who is the best basketball player, as far as mastering the game of basketball. Every aspect offensive and defensive without having any weaknesses or at least the least weaknesses in their game, skill set, etc. And LeBron is very limited compared to other greats as far as basketball skill, and mastery.
And then there is the fact LeBron is more known for losing than winning. There is no way a true basketball fan would put LeBron in the top 5.

Kobe played in a stacked Western conference and still won back to back finals without a top 75 player. In fact, he's the only player to do so. He has more 40 points, 50 points, and 60 point games than Lebron. Kobe was the reason why that Redeem Team won the gold in 2008 and 2012. Without Kobe, they lose. And don't say it's because Lebron was a rookie. MJ won gold as a rookie, so if Lebron is supposedly the GOAT, he should have done it when he had the chance.

The thing is the media brainwash is so real people will forget or call scrubs those great pieces like Smith, Green or Korver who would be considered major help in any other legend's case.
It is an ongoing systematic degradation of every good player that have helped Lebron reach the finals or a ring and it started more brutally from his 2014 finals loss and his 2nd stint with the Cavs when we saw a top-5 PF of the decade (Kevin Love) be thrown around in media conversations like he is a plumber.
Truly an insanse revision of history. Lebron's career is one of the most perfect cases of propaganda in recent history not only in sports but in general.

People don’t speak enough about the CP3 trade block. It’s upsetting.
@@millianalove I was actually all for the League blocking that trade, and my reason is based on exactly what we see today with all these players joining up to win cheap Championships.
It was just obviously biased in James' favor the following season, and that was where I took exception.
@@bswizzle5227 I feel you. They can’t use CP3 as a crutch against Kobe. They’d use it as another excuse to diminish his accomplishments and greatness. What it did do was show the league’s bias against Kobe and for Lebron.
@@millianalove absolutely.
The disrespect to Kobe needs to stop.
Look, no one is ahead of Mike, period.
But the fact that a guy like James, who is barely top 20 in my opinion, is put ahead of Kobe is disgraceful.
@@bswizzle5227 The difference is Kobe’s fans respect Mike because KOBE respected and honored Mike. Lebron doesn’t respect anyone and actively works to kill their legacies. I still think he’s jealous of how Mike embraced Kobe and not him.
We need to sit Stephen A. Smith in a room in front of Skap Attack videos and force him to watch them “Clockwork Orange”-style!😅
Bro I keep pausing this video in disbelief cause I been telling these LeStans this for years. Salute to you !
Salute to you Skap because you have given valid reasons why Kobe is ahead of LeBron James. Probably the best case I seen presented thus far!
I can understand people who have LeBron top 3. I really can. I don't agree with them or support their reasoning, BUT I get it. For some reason, most simply cannot wrap their minds around why Kobe is a top 3 player. But it's all right there. EASY case to be made.
@@skap_attackAbsolutely especially taken only winning by way of forming superteams with other teams best players into consideration, LeBron needs a coach and revamped roster more than anyone. Well said, an thank you for reminding the LeCult how LeBron played with Shaq that dude has had more help than anyone.
@@LilBrother94 an ageing shaq who could barely put up 15 ppg
@@LilBrother94oh because the Shaq that played with lebron was the same Shaq that played with Kobe? Don’t be foolish
@@Robss_Always with excuses 😂😂😂
Kobe won 2 rings without another 20+ ppg scorer.
LeBron couldn't make the PLAYOFFS without another 20 ppg scorer.
When you refute those FACTS I'll take you bron cult members seriously 😂😂😂
Mic Drop.
I can’t wait to make a Video on this Topic as well. I’m tired of the Kobe Slander from the Media and I’m Tired of their Narratives against Kobe. I’m also Tired of the Media Narratives that Prop up Lebron for things that other Greats did but got no credit for.
2:15 The way you say “ass” ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Damn right!!!!!
The internet will always expose the truth. 🤷♂️
You said the best phrase ever. " nobody other then Mike you can make a argument that is definitively better then Kobe Bryant "🔥🔥
Kobe had Shaq line is so overused.
Lebron had AllStars/All NBA teammates for all his rings too.
Kobe won back2back with Pau Gasol as well and with all the respect for Pau, he isn't equal to D.Wade+C.Bosh, or K.Irving+K.Love.
If Kobe had "asterix" in his 3 championships, then Lebron has the same for all of his...
That’s what I said! All lebrons teammates equal to shaq, magic had the greatest center ever, kareem had the greatest pg
Shaq had penny and the magic and then he had 2 all star guards in Jones and Van Exel but Shaq couldn't get it done until Kobe came in the picture. Plus sure Shaq dominated in the finals but Kobes performances in the western conference playoffs are the reason they got to the finals.
This is the best playoffs in a long time. No teams to hate but teams that are likable.
GET STEPHEN A MYTH SKAP!!! 🙌🏽
💪🙏❤
My question is who's comparing kobe v lebron? We just know lebron is top 3 of all time and that is all we need to say
@@PER578 How do we know that? Kareem has a better résumé, Magic has a better résumé, Kobe was the best player in the league, but; MVPs during that decade until now are narrative driven. Tim Duncan, Shaq, and Steph are just as impactful, if not more, to there teams’ success. So how again is LeBron a shoo-in for Top 3 of All-Time?
@@phenomenal-fitness the fact u brought mvps means u know who has the better resume and oh yeah, u forgot about fmvp, but I guess to u being the best player in the finals doesn't matter. Come on man, lebron has better statistics, but numbers don't tell u the full story, so that's why I don't care about mvps
@@PER578 MJ has the best overall résumé which is why he’s the GOAT. LeBron is a stat sheet stuffer, but, in terms of Finals MVP and regular season, the criteria has shifted and that’s a video for another day. I honestly feel LeBron was given hardware he didn’t deserve, but based on your criteria who are your top three in order?
Man, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for your content. You're just straight up unbiased, factual, based content. I respect the hell out of you, man. As a life long Lakers fan, die hard Kobe fan, I appreciate this video. But as a true BASKETBALL FAN first and foremost, I love this video. The game, first and foremost, is greater than any player or team. I appreciate your factual and unbiased videos. Keep up the great work.
I don't understand how professional sports analysts constantly get owned by youtubers
Lebron James only recruited all stars in his roaster
never fail to upload gems skap! great to see you on jason whitlock's show from time to time too

@@skap_attackYou give me hope that propaganda won't defeat the truth.

One of the best playoffs of the 2 past decades, no LeFlop, DurCant, Strip Club MVP James Hardhead, Crybaby Embiid, or Ben Kardashian-Simmons!
Alleged goat 😭😭😭💯 this deserves more recognition
It’s a shame how the media is trying to
Destroy Kobe’s legacy to promote LeBron.
James' impact has always been and will be on losing. How can he consistently lose with so much talent around him?
Kobe name always been apart of the GOAT debate….. NO 🧢
Why kobe, why not LeBron?? Today would be much better with kobe around.
Never wish the death of another… grow up
@@influx9151yeah why not LeBron
@@influx9151exactly dude are weird
Damn you’re really wishing for lebron’s death? Seek help
Because Kobe decided to take the heli that day, have you ever seen Bron in a heli?
👏👏👏👏👏
Hold on, bro. This is by FAR, your best video. It's fkn ridiculous how full of sht these "Legends" are.
Skap, Thank You. Your work is like uncovering the truth about WTC building 6+1 but for Kobe. Mambas greatness has been underappreciated for too long by NBA casuals and sports fans in general. Ps. Your Segements on Jason's show are money great stuff Sir. 👌🏾
The media's precious "GOAT debate" should indeed just be called "2nd place debate".
NBA legends get disrespected on a daily basis by "journalists" and "experts" while trying to make LeBron even more overrated.
These media are a cancer.
Lol LeBron overrated????
@@sou_galoo8707 When a lot of people (mostly media) rank him #2 all-time, then yes, he is overrated. If you rate someone second all-time when he is factually not better than a lot of players ranked after him, then it is literally called overrating.
Some even say he's number one, which is even worse.
@@mekacrab No, you're just a Lebron hater, everyone knows he's second, But the haters don't accept it hahaha you think Kobe is bigger than him, that's a joke, right?

@@sou_galoo8707 Yeah, I think Kobe is higher than LeBron. If you look at their resume, Kobe has a better one. The only thing Kobe lacks is MVPs. Kobe has more all-defensive teams (literally twice the amount of LeBron), more rings and so on.
I will even say that Kobe had overall on his career less help than LeBron had. Yes, he had Shaq, but then he didn't have Shaq and Gasol and the rest are clearly not as good as most of the teams LeBron had.
And btw, Kobe did all of that in the harder western conference.
I know that the mainstream media looooove to ignore the bad stuff about LeBron and to trash on players that came before him. They constantly downplay other all-time greats like Jordan and Kobe and so on to make LeBron look better.
It has been confirmed several times that LeBron's agency Klutch Sports was trying and did control what big media channel talked about.
You never wonder why they only talk about LeBron 24/7 ? Even when he's not in the playoffs anymore ? Even when there is litterally nothing relevant going on with him ?
I also thought LeBron was #2 back at the time, until I fact checked what the media was saying and looked at who else was top 10. And I can confidently say that LeBron is not second at all. He wants everyone to believe that he's the King, and the GOAT, but he's not. Otherwise he wouldn't have to say that he's the GOAT. He's clearly trying to convince us, like a politician would.
Me being critical is not hate. I don't hate LeBron, I respect his game. Although I don't respect what he usually says off the court and the way he acts. And the nepotism. But that's an other story.
Saying "you're a hater" is an easy way to avoid debate and to avoid seeing the truth. But I guess a lot of you don't want to see the truth. So is the human behavior I guess.
@@mekacrab Let's answer in parts:
Kobe has a better CV than Lebron where? You literally just sucked up to Kobe and yet you only managed to tell me two of the above things hahaha
Now let's get to the fact
lebron x kobe:
mvp lebron
fmvp lebron
all star lebron
all nba lebron
lebron points
lebron assistance
lebron rebounds
blocks lebron
career averages in total lebron...... and much more is there debate?
And that's why Lebron needed help, yes, I won't deny it, but he was always the main player in the "star" teams he created, but Kobe haha need to talk? in It took Shaq to win 3 titles and he won the others because Gasol arrived, that's a fact, Kobe started his career with the Lakers, LeBron started with the Cavs, you tell me that Kobe has the best resume and push hard bro. .. I refuted your first argument, now let's move on to the second
proves that lebron diapered the media lol it's not lebron who diapered and because the media and several other people know that lebron is in fact top 2 that's a fact bro accept the truth, Kobe only entered the debate now after he died That's the truth, Kobe is very overrated, you're a hater who can't accept reality. you are a minority, most people put lebron in the top 2
It's still sad knowing Kobe not here man. That's the Lakers are a damn joke now the legends won't come out an call LA for bowing to the Klutch Sports Mafia. RIP Kobe! You missed Bro!
Remember kyrie too said that he took kobe's advice to hit the last shot
At times when I'm listening to you absolutely roasting these alleged greats in the sports media, I feel the utmost respect for you for the way you defend and prove what's right. Keep up the good stuff 🙌🏻.
Skap, you BETTER keep these coming. The tide has turned on the Balco 🤴🏾

Bubble championship doesn't even count.
Well it does tho according to the players
6 years with the Lakers, and this is the best he can do (bubble championship). Oh, forgot about the in season tournament. (Lol).
Bubble, no travel all games played at one place, no fans unless you count the handful virtual fans they had on wall TV. Many players didn't even go..

I agree this year playoffs has been so GREAT!!! Great games, great series, very competitive. Old school style coaching, no over inflated Ego's. Just real basketball 👍
What did Lebron win without super-duper stars around him?? Nada
Good sir, I appreciate your Kobe videos so much that it makes me emotional. He made me love the game and was extremely sad for his passing. He wasn't ever appreciated by the media despite how hard he worked and almost never complained. He won the right way. It's so sad that until now, the media is downplaying his legacy to promote fake shortcut players. I appreciate your analysis on how great Kobe was. He really is 2nd all time. Please keep up your videos dismissing the Kobe lies. All power to your channel sir!
1. MJ 2. Kobe 3. Kareem 4. Magic 5. Bird

Shaq rode Wade’s coattails too.
Stop it
Best Kobe argument I’ve ever seen. Great work.
These videos hit so hard with the truth. I could cry 😢🙏🏾 💯❤️🏀
Yay, more Kobe content, thx Skap
Hell Yeah!
Magic Johnson literally said the KOBE is the greatest lakers ever,what is Stephen A talking about?
Magic Johnson is a humbled guy nobody in their right mind has Kobe Bryant ranked higher than magic magic accomplished way more than Kobe Bryant did
@@Hunt9-qb1if nobody in their right mind? Don’t stretch it anyone who put Kobe over magic is more than justified to do so, just because he’s humble doesn’t mean shit, Kobe accomplish just as much if not more than magic with less help, facing more competition if anything Kobe beaten more 50+ wins win less help compared to magic

If Shaq would’ve got his relationship with Kobe right he would’ve had more rings😅Kobe is definitely more better than Lebron no question😂
Of course he would have. BUT then the criticisms would have been even more insane. "Kobe NEVER won without Shaq". Talking head losers like Stephen A who criticize Kobe for leaving Shaq is the height hypocrisy. Because they ALSO criticize him for winning THREE rings with him. What if he won ALL of his rings with him lol. There is no winning for Kobe. They just hate him.
Bron 16-6 head 2 head vs Kobe!
I like this video. So I pressed the “thumbs-up” button.
Absolutely beautiful
pause at7:56 and pause at 8:13
Actually INSANE numbers.. Goes to show you why Shaq needed kobe and why Shaq couldn't win NOTHING before Kobe. Kobe closed out games for shaq that he otherwise would have lost if it weren't for kobe. It's sad that kids just look up "box scores/averages" and accolades on wikipedia to determine their "GOAT"... Not watching basketball, the highlights or games. New generations are literally making these debates so cringe and a waste of time
Kobe save shaq MVP season in 2000 WCF game 7 shaq finish with 18pts 7reb 4 turn over only score 4 points in the 4thq while Kobe finish a team 26pts 11reb 4steals 2blk score 12pts in the 4thq he started that come back
@@jjohnson4013 yuop. same can be said about game 7 against the trail blazers, first round of the playoffs. Kobe carried the 4th quarter in another elimination game (no surprise).
@@mart1n10601Remember Kobe with PRIME Shaq putting up 48 points and 16 rebounds vs the Kings in the closeout game?

Love the snapattac
Kobe is clutch. LeBron is Klutch.
Hands down this is one of your best videos! Nothing but facts. 🔥💯
Can't agree more. The hypocricy, and disrespect for Kobe's greatness has been something that has always rubbed me raw. I can't stand how people talk about Kobe's first 3 championships as if they didn't happen, or talk as if Kobe was in sitting in a car seat with a pacifier while Shaq was driving. It's revisionist history. Every great player played with at least one other great player. I was alive to see those championship runs, and the toxic media debate at the time was "who's team is it"? How is their a question in the media back then if Kobe was being carried by Shaq? In fact, Kobe covered for Shaq a lot of times when Shaq was sitting out from having surgery, being out of shape, or being stuck in foul trouble. Without both of those guys playing together at the height of their powers, the Lakers don't 3-peat back then.
Kobe and Micheal are the only goats of the NBA
Agreed!
Wilt, Kareem, and Bird also.
I like where your head is at...
Kobes last 2 championships has more impact then any of lebron championships. Considering lebron stack his teams and try to cheat his way to a championship kobe still has one more over him.
Are we just going descredit high 2016 chip against the 73-9 warriors down 3-1?
@danieldang3908 a super team that was already there waiting for him. Not to mention him flopping getting draymond suspended, yes discredit that.

You had me rolling how said LeBron bum azz at the 2:15 mark
I remember watching the 2010 finals with my brother and my parents, I was 20 years old and my mom asked me. You think now Kobe is better than Jordan? and I answered, No, but he is the closest to him. Even my mother knew about kobe's greatness and she don't even watch basketball. We are Mexicans, in Mexico people barely watch basketball and everyone knew how good Kobe was.
By the way, Jordan was so great that the 98 finals were a big deal here. Everyone watched Jordan's final games with Chicago, it was like the Olympic Games, all the televisions had their games on.
I have never seen another basketball player do that.
