Every teammate Kobe & LeBron shared explain who they think is better between the two: 🐍 or 👑 - Trevor Ariza “Kobe is the best player ever” - Jordan Clarkson “Kobe is definitely my goat” - Shaquille O’Neal ranked his top 3 in order: 1) Jordan 2) Kobe 3) LeBron - Joe Smith “I played with LeBron twice.. but KOBE was DIFFERENT.. his hunger not to lose was different.. how he instructed practice, how he goes through practice, & his knowledge of the game” - Ira Newble (2008) *older quote* “Kobe’s better, and if you ask LeBron, he’ll tell you Kobe’s better” - Antwan Jaminson “not really a big difference both (LeBron & Kobe) are great competitors. Both of them when it’s time to play basketball, they’re ready to go, but Kobe Bryant, the way he competes is like no other.. Whatever it has to do about winning, that’s Kobe Bryant” - Carlos Boozer “They're both so different. I can't sit here and tell you who is better. I got LeBron at the very, very beginning. I got Kobe at the very, very end. So it's different, but as a fan of basketball and someone that played at a high level, they both have an insatiable appetite for winning. They will go through any brick wall. They have tireless work ethic and they both have that have that will when you're down by 20 they can come back in win it.” - Ty Lue (played with Kobe + Coached LeBron) Was asked to rank MJ, Kobe, & LeBron… he answered “No” 😂 - Larry Nance Jr. on the differences between playing with them: “I got to see more of the mental preparation and an aspect of Kobe and it was tireless. You could ask him about any guy, the scouting report, and he could tell you their favorite moves, what they can't do… he knew everything about every single person and just the way he thought the game in terms of being in the game.. So, just the way he dissected games in-game or even before we even got the game. It's pretty incredible” “Whereas LeBron… he was the first one in the gym, last one out. It didn't matter if you were the 17th guy on the roster, he’s gonna beat you, he was gonna beat you in the gym” 🫣🐍🫣🐍🫣🐍🫣🐍🫣🐍🫣🐍🫣🐍

Shaq 'he sacrificed (kobe), he did cos all those finals he helped me win championships he damn sure could've easily got finals MVP but that was the plan, you eat for the first 3 quarters and I'll take over in the fourth'.

"Nobody had Kobe in the conversation before he passed." Reality:

@SFsGOAT Wasn't even funny in 2012 💔

@StepBackPascal @Gunners4life08 @TheDunkCentral @TheShopUN It happened literally the year before. You only care because LeBron

LeBron says it doesn’t make sense that he hasn’t won DPOY, comparing it to Beyoncé never winning AOTY "The year I finished 2nd… the guy who won Defensive Player of the Year didn't even make 1st Team All-Defense" (@TheShopUN ) twitter.com/TheShopUN/stat…
