Kobe or Lebron?

You neglect to mention how LeBron has spent his entire career in an absolutely pathetic Eastern Conference while having his team stacked and absolutely zero contenders outside of whatever team LeBron plays for as opposed to how Kobe had to scratch, claw, and fight his way through a jam-packed Western Conference throughout his 20 year career which included, the Spurs, the Mavericks, the Kings, the Trailblazers, the Suns, the Thunder, why do you think Kobe is 5-2 in the Finals and LeBron is 2-4. Because by the time they both got to the Finals, Kobe was already battle tested, experienced, won the toughets fights, and took down the toughest opponents he was going to face, whereas LeBron had it so easy up until the Finals where he goes up against a REAL contender out West, and his team either doesn't stack up (Warriors and Spurs), or are just mentally unprepared and unready (Mavericks).
Or how about how from 11-14 he had his team stacked with a Prime Wade, Prime Bosh, and the 2nd greatest shooter of all-time, Ray Allen, whereas Kobe from was all by himself in from 2006 to 2008 until he got Pau Gasol and they won back to back titles from there. 
You wanna know how LeBron scores?
Put his head down, drive to the rim, muscle his way to a lay-up and an And-One. And it's pretty damn easy for him to do that when he's surrounding by deadly and lethal shooters who can knock down open jumpers in their sleep. The situation LeBron was in while at Miami was perfect for him, that's why he was able to do what he did, but now look at him. He has no jumpshot beyond 15 feet, and his declining athletism is going to show just how one-dimensional he is as a scorer. Kobe can drive, post up, spot up, catch & shoot, shoot off the dribble, he was arguably just as versatile of a scorer as Curry is right now. 
Let's put it like this:
A broken down, plagued by injuries, 37 year old, about to retire Kobe Bryant is shooting a higher percentage from 3 Point Range this season, than a 31 year old, still in his prime, still in top shape LeBron James.

So those Cavs he spent the first part of his carrer with...they were stacked? Are you being serious right now? And since LBJ has been in the league you are saying that no team in the East was a contender outside of the team he was on? Oh I guess that's why whatever team he has been on has been in the finals EVERY year since he has entered the league......yeah....smh. Has the East been easier than the West without a doubt but don't make it seem like LBJ has had a cake walk to the finals the times he went. He played against good competitive teams in the East in the Playoffs(Bulls, Pistons, Celtics, Pacers etc).

Also if you want to be technical Wade WAS NOT in his Prime when him and LBJ got together. Wade was more so in his prime back in like 2006-2008. He was still a great player but not like he was in his Prime. Just like Ray Allen was not in his prime when he was with Miami. Whenever Kobe went to the finals he had great players around him as well. And guess what NO ONE CARES...why because basketball is a TEAM game and you win it AS A TEAM. Why LBJ gets so much hate for joing the Heat is beyond me. As for those excuses about how he needed other stars to win and other people could have done the same. Guess what other teams DID do the same(Lakers included with Karl Malone, GP, Shaq, Kobe etc) but no one complained about it.

Now I will give you that aboout LBJ as a scorer. He doesn't have a lotof moves but he does what works for him just like EVERY OTHER PLAYER IN THE NBA. He has DRASTICALLY improved his jump shot and 3 point shot. Is he as good a shooter as Kobe...not even close but he has far improved from what he was. Heck I am not even a freaking LBJ fans and I know all of this lol. It is just like people love to shoot him down and 99.5% of the time the people doing it or either Kobe or Jordan fans. Also I agree Kobe was just as versatile a scorer as Curry currently is. Just not as good a passer though but definitely a close as far as scoring goes. Sorry for the rant but the hate LBJ gets just boggles my mind lol.
