![]() ![]() James is great in elimination games, but Kobe was always a cold-blooded reptile when the game was on the line. Also, Kobe was incredibly accurate in the clutch, and he actually led his team to way more Championships and playoff wins. ![]() ClutchĪctually, LeBron James is one of the clutchest players ever, especially today and while he is in the Cavs with Kyrie and Love, but the Mamba Mentality is something we can never forget. In this category, Lebron has more advantage than Kobe. Because Lebron is a bit taller than Kobe, Lebron can manage to defend the rim easily. We recognize as well that Lebron is better when it comes to rim protection than Kobe. He can lockdown a player and chase down a player, admit it that you’ve seen much more Lebron chasedown blocks than Kobe. Lebron James is a good defender, we all know that. Kobe Bryant is an overrated defender, and has been in several years. In this category, many Lakers fans would not admit this because of their undying loyalty to the Black Mamba. Lebron still has an advantage on this category based on stats, and still it shows when you watch both of them play. Lebron James’ career average is 7.4 rebounds per game, and still can improve, while Kobe Bryant’s is 5.2 rebounds per game. ![]() ReboundingĮven though Lebron is a little bit taller than Kobe, it does not mean we will not weigh them in this category, we are not comparing Andre Drummond and the 5’6 Isiaih Thomas here.

In total points, Kobe made 33,643 points all throughout his NBA career, while Lebron already surpassed Kobe with a total of 34,087 points made and while his career is still on progress, I wonder if he can surpass Abdul-Jabbar.

Their 3-point field goal is almost similar but still, Kobe is still little behind than LeBron.

In 14 regular-season games, Kawhi is 9-5 against LeBron, while he boasts a 7-5 postseason record against James.Lebrons field goal percentage is better than Kobe Bryant. One player who has been a difficult out for LeBron throughout his career is Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard. In 2020, Howard signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers to play with Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, and new head coach Doc Rivers. As teammates, Howard and James were 50-15 in the regular season and 13-5 in the postseason. In 2019, Howard signed with the Lakers for his second stint in Los Angeles. LeBron is just 23-18 against Howard in regular-season games, and lost 4-2 in the 2009 Eastern Conference Finals, when Howard played for the Magic. Dwight Howardīefore Dwight joined forces with LeBron in Los Angeles, the two put up some heated battles across 47 head-to-head matchups. It wasn't enough, though, as Harden's Houston Rockets lost 4-1.
