LeBron vs Kobe - Every Time They Faced Off

Transcript 0:00 for most of the 2000s and early 2010s 0:02 one of the NBA's biggest talking points 0:04 was LeBron versus Kobe two DieHard fan 0:07 bases debating over which icon was truly 0:10 the best for most of their battles 0:12 LeBron was a young Phenom quickly taking 0:15 over the league while Kobe was more of a 0:17 seasoned Legend capping off a storybook 0:19 career the two friends foes had a lot in 0:22 common they both came to the NBA from 0:24 high school and they both made the NBA 0:26 finals in their fourth year one averaged 0:28 15 points in that finals while the other 0:31 averaged 22 Kobe became the best player 0:33 in the NBA when he started to act more 0:35 like LeBron and LeBron became the best 0:38 player in the NBA when he started to 0:39 play like Kobe it's that level of 0:41 respect that enables us to perform at a 0:43 at a high level when we competing as 0:45 automatically it automatically makes you 0:47 better the two played against each other 0:48 a total of 22 times but who really got 0:51 the best of the other this is the 0:53 complete history of their legendary 0:56 rivalry in 2003 when LeBron entered the 0:59 league Kobe was already a three-time NBA 1:02 champ and a five-time All-Star Bryant 1:04 was the best defensive guard in the NBA 1:06 on top of averaging 30 points per game 1:09 as for LeBron he was a rookie but he was 1:11 no ordinary rookie physically James was 1:13 ready for the NBA since he was 16 and 1:15 there wasn't anybody in the NBA more 1:18 athletic than he was and at first it 1:20 even seemed like the talent would win 1:21 over experience in their first Clash the 1:24 Lakers were playing without Shaq and 1:26 Carl Malone and Kobe struggled to 1:27 contain James by the end of their first 1:29 quarter LeBron made three consecutive 1:32 baskets over Bryant who was guarding 1:33 James on almost every possession 1:35 Cavaliers have four LeBron at the other 1:37 end count it and a foul and then just as 1:40 Kobe started to heat up a shoulder 1:42 injury forced him to leave the game Kobe 1:44 with a deceptive move and a foul done it 1:47 again boy but he was hit right in the 1:49 shoulder and in 17 minutes of action he 1:52 had 10 points five rebounds and two 1:54 assists but with Kobe out of the game it 1:56 seemed like all the motivation was gone 1:58 for LeBron so he scored 16 points and 2:01 dished seven assists but he only made 2:04 three of his 15 shots in the last three 2:06 quarters and the Lakers won the game by 2:08 10 then their second meeting came in 2:10 January of 2005 and it ended up exactly 2:13 like the first one just 6 minutes into 2:16 the game Kobe injured his ankle and had 2:17 to be carried off the court finishing 2:19 with just two points LeBron had a great 2:21 game with 28 points 13 rebounds and nine 2:24 assists but the Cavs lost to the Lakers 2:26 once again however just one month later 2:29 we had the first real showdown between 2:31 James and Bryant he's back after missing 2:33 14 games with the sprain tle will be in 2:35 the starting lineup Kobe was still 2:37 recovering from the ankle injury but 2:38 playing against LeBron motivated him to 2:40 come back but Mamba might have made a 2:43 mistake and suit it up too soon despite 2:45 scoring 26 points Kobe made just seven 2:47 out of 22 field goals blows right by him 2:51 that time however LeBron didn't play 2:53 great either he didn't attempt a single 2:55 free throw and had just one Rebound in 2:57 the first half he only had six points as 3:00 Cleveland LED 6559 in the third quarter 3:03 we got to try to just build on this lead 3:04 and uh try to come out with a little bit 3:06 more energy in the second half but then 3:08 in a true Mamba manner LeBron took over 3:10 four on one he scored 21 points in the 3:13 second half finishing with 25 points 3:15 eight rebounds and nine assists to 3:17 secure his first career win over the 3:19 Lakers in the 20052 2006 season Kobe led 3:22 the NBA in scoring with 35 points per 3:25 game and LeBron wasn't far behind with 3:27 31 Here Comes oh a br James with a 3:32 second to go but when they faced each 3:34 other in January in La both players 3:36 struggled with turnovers and poor 3:38 shooting efficiency however the ending 3:40 of that game made up for everything in 3:43 the final 90 seconds Bryant scored the 3:45 team's last six points on three long 3:48 mid-range jumpers including a go-ahead 3:50 shot with 9 seconds left on the clock 3:52 putting moves on James here's Bryant yes 3:56 but the Cavs still had the chance to win 3:58 it and Kobe guarded LeBron on the last 4:00 possession fouling him with just 5 4:02 seconds remaining James struggled at the 4:04 line all night and after he hit the 4:06 first free throw he missed the second 4:08 one but the Cavs got the rebound and 4:10 LeBron had one more chance to defeat 4:12 Kobe and it comes down to the Cavaliers 4:16 having a chance now to win it they're 4:19 down by one after a timeout James got a 4:22 good look from 18 ft while being closely 4:24 guarded by Bryant then as the buzzer 4:26 sounded LeBron's shot missed the Target 4:28 and the Lakers escape with a 9998 4:31 victory 2 months later the Lakers would 4:33 go to Cleveland and this was the first 4:36 time we'd see a truly epic duel between 4:38 the two superstars Kobe scored 38 points 4:42 marking the first time either of these 4:43 players have scored over 30 points 4:45 against each other fires away the 4:48 threee Bryant at the buzzer ahead of 4:51 myself 4:52 here but it is it's incredible how 4:55 easy it didn't look so LeBron finished 4:58 with 298 and seven and it was another 5:00 game that went down to the 5:03 wire 5:06 for despite the Lakers holding a 5:08 14-point lead going into the half the 5:11 Cavaliers bounced back in the second 5:12 half with a one-point lead in the final 5:14 seconds they've had a lot of close games 5:17 this year James for 5:19 three LeBron James Kobe had another 5:23 chance to sink the Cavs with his 5:24 trademark fadea away but this time he 5:27 missed and the Cavs won bran for the win 5:30 no good and the Cavs with the huge 5:32 comfor from behind win in 2007 their 5:35 first duel showed another fabulous 5:37 scoring output by Kobe and the 5:39 all-around Genius of LeBron James was 5:41 outscored 25-7 by Bryant after halftime 5:45 Bryant yes and 36 to8 at the final 5:49 buzzer on James and 5:52 LeBron but LeBron's teammates came 5:55 through and the Cavaliers took a 5:56 comfortable 9990 win at home just Just 4 5:59 days later the Cavs flew to LA and this 6:02 time LeBron wasn't so passive the Kings 6:05 scored 38 points on just 16 shot 6:07 attempts four rebounds three assists and 6:10 three steals buckle 6:12 up KOB and 6:15 LeBron oh what a shot by LeBron James 6:18 Kobe had 34 points on nine of 22 6:20 shooting six rebounds and five assists 6:23 and once again it was the Cavaliers 6:25 coming out on top that year LeBron would 6:27 push the Cavs to the NBA finals mainly 6:29 thanks to a miraculous game five in the 6:31 East finals against Detroit when LeBron 6:33 scored 29 out of the last 30 of 6:36 Cleveland's points and despite getting 6:38 swept in the finals the first Rumblings 6:40 began to form in the media did LeBron 6:43 overtake Kobe as the best individual 6:45 player in the NBA then very quickly the 6:48 two of them gave the world the answer to 6:50 that question it was one of the most 6:52 exciting dusel between Bryant and James 6:54 and it didn't happen in the NBA but in 6:57 Las Vegas during a 2017 Team USA 7:00 Basketball scrimmage LeBron and Kobe 7:02 were the captains of two teams filled 7:04 with NBA superstars all the way behind 7:06 the back LeBron James wanting to prove 7:10 who's the Alpha Dog both LeBron and Kobe 7:13 played the scrimmage game at 7:15 120% LeBron's team took a big lead at 7:17 the half highlighted by James's huge 7:20 block on Kobe's dunk 7:22 attempt up against K and he tried to 7:25 reverse it knocked away this is Kobe 7:27 coming in and he thought he had enough 7:29 to strch out and get it but LeBron was 7:31 with him all the way but thanks to KD 7:34 and Kobe's big shots in the last minute 7:36 Bryant's team held a one-point lead with 7:38 six seconds to go shading over kid and 7:41 James Kobe over Prince for the lead got 7:44 it one lead team down by one LeBron went 7:48 one-on-one with Kobe and went for the 7:50 game win but missed a shot at the buzzer 7:53 up against Kobe on the crossover into 7:55 the pain of Chandler no and what 8:00 go well it's just all about competing um 8:02 everybody's here to compete uh we know 8:04 we all teammates but we all want to win 8:06 at the same time when the 2008 season 8:08 started most of the NBA kept promoting 8:10 The Duel between two superstars 8:13 especially since they seemed to switch 8:14 roles LeBron became the new NBA scoring 8:17 champ with 30 points per game while Kobe 8:20 started to give up the ball and play 8:21 more within the team offense this was 8:24 Illustrated in their two regular season 8:26 matchups where LeBron averaged 37 points 8:29 compared to Kobe's 27 with the Cavs 8:31 winning both 8:34 games James puts it up puts it in CS by 8:39 three with 20 seconds remaining but then 8:41 the Lakers made the trade for Pal Gasol 8:44 which made them into a winning team and 8:46 that's why it was Kobe and not LeBron 8:48 who won the regular season MVP we both 8:50 have the same passion we just show it in 8:52 different ways he takes off like he's 8:54 jumping off a trampoline off a one leg I 8:56 mean it's the most ridiculous one leg 8:58 takeoff I've seen it's crazy his 9:00 mid-range jumper is by far one of the 9:02 best you know that we have if not the 9:04 best that we have in our league the two 9:06 superstars seemed destined to clash in 9:08 the NBA Finals but despite a brilliant 9:10 effort from James the Cavs lost in the 9:13 second round to the Celtics in seven 9:14 games Bryan kept his end of the bargain 9:17 and made the finals but Boston was too 9:19 strong for him too winning the 9:21 championship in six games both James and 9:23 Kobe healed that loss by winning the 9:25 gold at the 2008 Olympics as part of the 9:27 redeemed team where they showed that 9:29 they were clearly the two best players 9:31 in the world oh you like my look I 9:33 should took my shirt out sh that Kobe 9:35 Bryan look 9:42 going all that mean is get the hell out 9:44 of the 9:47 way and when the 2009 season came the 9:50 duel between LA and Cleveland was one of 9:52 the most anticipated games on the 9:53 calendar but it wasn't nearly as 9:56 explosive as fans hoped for and the 9:58 first regular season game in January 10:00 Kobe dislocated his finger and James 10:02 wasn't shooting the ball well resulting 10:04 in an easy 17-point win for the Lakers 10:06 as the two superstars combined for just 10:08 43 points R is back on 10:12 James and here's LeBron getting inside 10:15 for the 10:16 stuff there's Bryant over 10:20 James in the fourth quarter Kobe does 10:22 not forget trust 10:24 me shot clock to two here's Bryant yes 10:30 3 weeks later it was even worse for 10:32 Bryant who suffered from flu and vomited 10:34 before the game he finished the game 10:36 with just 16 points but again it was 10:38 enough for the win as LeBron shot just 10:41 five for 20 from the field Bryan calling 10:44 for the ball James on 10:46 him Bryan falling away puts it up puts 10:49 it in what a tough shot from kobby Bry 10:52 however despite losing both games to the 10:54 Lakers the Cavs dominated the regular 10:56 season finishing with 66 wins by by far 10:59 the best result in franchise history 11:01 LeBron won his first regular season MVP 11:04 and because the defending Champions 11:05 Celtics lost Kevin Garnett due to injury 11:08 everything was set for LeBron and Kobe 11:10 to meet in the NBA Finals except there 11:12 was one guy with a different plan Dwight 11:14 Howard Dwight was an absolute Beast by 11:17 far the best defensive player in the NBA 11:20 and in the Eastern finals he dominated 11:22 against the Cav centers despite LeBron 11:24 averaging 388 and 8 and hitting a buzzer 11:27 beating game win for the win 11:29 yes Leon it was Orlando who won the 11:33 series and went on to face Bryant in the 11:35 NBA Finals but Kobe's Supporting Cast 11:38 was much better than LeBron's and Howard 11:40 couldn't bully Gasol and bham as he did 11:42 Veria and elus and the Lakers won the 11:45 NBA Championship next season the league 11:48 wanted to make it up to the fans for not 11:49 seeing the LeBron Kobe finals so they 11:52 scheduled their first regular season 11:54 game on Christmas and while Kobe 11:56 dominated the individual matchup with 36 11:58 six points to LeBron's 25 it was the 12:01 Cavs who cruised to an easy 15-point 12:03 Victory Williams to James get out of the 12:06 way a few weeks later they played in 12:08 Cleveland and the Cavs won again thanks 12:10 to 37 points from James and just 12 for 12:13 31 shooting from Bryan James now DED by 12:16 Bryant James leaves his way inside and 12:19 scores yes and it 12:22 counts we are seeing spectacular 12:25 basketball what a tough to shot clock 12:30 out of six James yes DS to the open spot 12:35 ryant ties the game at 87 LeBron won 12:39 another MVP but in the 2010 playoffs 12:42 James once again failed to make the 12:44 finals and he watched Kobe win his fifth 12:47 Championship from home sers repeat 12:49 backto back titles after seven seasons 12:52 and the inability of the Cavs front 12:54 office to make improvements to the 12:55 roster James made the biggest decision 12:58 of his life in the biggest free agency 13:00 move of all time and he did it by 13:02 stealing a line from Kobe I have decided 13:04 to skip college and take my talent to 13:06 the NBA I'm going to take my talents to 13:08 South Beach and um join the Miami Heat 13:11 the first game he played against the 13:12 Lakers in a heat uniform was another 13:14 Christmas Showdown but it wasn't as 13:16 festive as fans hoped Kobe shot just 6 13:19 for 16 and the game was over rather 13:21 quickly thanks to a 27-point triple 13:24 double from LeBron James powers in 13:27 Unstoppable 13:29 and putting chmer as the Heat won the 13:32 second game that year improving LeBron's 13:34 record against Kobe to 10 and5 then in 13:37 the 2011 playoffs the Lakers got swept 13:39 by the Mavs who would also go on to 13:41 defeat the heat in what was the worst 13:43 playoff series of LeBron's life that 13:45 loss made LeBron work harder than ever 13:47 and he improved on all of his weaknesses 13:50 but mainly his post game and finishing 13:52 with the left hand and in 2012 LeBron 13:55 dominated in his first duel against the 13:57 Lakers leading the heat to to Victory 13:59 with 318 and 8 plus four Steals and 14:02 three blocks but in their second game 14:04 that year it was Kobe who came out on 14:06 top playing with a mask because Dwayne 14:08 Wade broke his nose in the All-Star Game 14:11 wow oh hard foul on Bryant by Wade I 14:14 call him you know not maliciously didn't 14:16 maliciously do it call him and I said yo 14:18 Cole he was like bro I love it I'll see 14:22 you in a couple days I'm like oh this oh 14:25 snap Bryant played with extra motivation 14:27 to bury the Heat and he won the game for 14:29 the Lakers with 33 points shake and bait 14:32 draws the foul put it in and won LeBron 14:36 would go on to win his first NBA 14:38 championship that year after which he 14:40 and Kobe would team up at the 2012 14:42 Olympics but this time it was clear that 14:44 LeBron was the alpha dog on the team 14:46 because in all the crunch moments the 14:48 ball was in james' hands LeBron James 14:50 got a lane LeBron 14:53 James James had officially passed Bryant 14:56 and everyone else and he was without a 14:58 doubt the best player in the world in 15:01 2013 LeBron only proved it as the Heat 15:04 won both games against the dysfunctional 15:07 Lakers James on the drive that's good 15:10 shot selection right there as the heat 15:13 Howard said he's wide open Bryant and a 15:16 foul beautiful move from Kobe Bryant and 15:19 a chance for a three-point play it's 15:21 been so efficient LeBron was especially 15:24 dominant in LA with 39 points seven 15:27 rebounds and eight assists a 15:30 oh are you kidding me that never gets 15:32 all does it are you kidding me there's 15:36 my here's LeBron 15:40 yes timeout Lakers however when they 15:43 played against each other in the allstar 15:45 game Kobe wanted to show Braun that he 15:47 might have a better team but that he's 15:49 still the Black Mamba so in the fourth 15:51 quarter when the game was on the line 15:53 Bryant was guarding James one-on-one and 15:56 he absolutely demolished him Kobe all 15:59 over James it's 16:03 rejected Kobe's making this personal 16:05 against LeBron some fans may say that 16:07 Braun wasn't as serious but for those 16:09 couple of possessions when Kobe was 16:11 guarding him LeBron looked totally 16:13 harmless and was forced to give up the 16:15 ball no just just trying to see him just 16:18 trying to dunk on me he going L it up at 16:19 the end he just trying to dunk on me 16:21 Craig oh no he just trying to dunk on 16:24 me unfortunately a few months after that 16:28 Kobe and injured his Achilles which was 16:30 basically the end of his prime Kobe 16:32 LeBron well I mean in terms of dominance 16:35 of the game of basketball at this stage 16:37 is LeBron Championship wise Kobe burn 16:39 Bryant faced LeBron three more times and 16:42 lost all three games which improved 16:44 LeBron's head-to-head record to 16- six 16:46 james' stats in those 22 games are 287 16:50 and S and Kobe averaged 25 five and five 16:53 which coincides with their career 16:55 averages High 16:57 yep Kobe against 16:59 LeBron there are probably not too many 17:02 more times we're going to be able to say 17:03 that and in the end LeBron has had more 17:05 success over Kobe but when they directly 17:08 matched up and played one-on-one it was 17:10 Kobe who had the 17:17 advantage LeBron vs Kobe - Every Time They Faced Off Nonstop 965K subscribers Subscribe 16K Share Download Clip Save 942K views 9 months ago We

You rarely if ever read of a 5/20 FG game by James these days despite being far from his physical prime. It's so much easier to get to the rim now. The 2000s were the last decade of balanced basketball with both offense and defense being played/allowed. 50 Reply 7 replies @SpiderGang56 9 months ago RIP KOBE💛💜 564 Reply 38 replies @ronnelacido1711 9 months ago When you know you are playing against someone as competitive as Kobe or Lebron, it will push you to be competitive as well.

People don't realize that Bron himself had a strong personality. Kobe had a fierce personality but to be honest by about 2009 most people had accepted that Bron was the better player. Kobe I feel peaked in 2008 but Bron peaked in 2016.

I think that LeBron’s trajectory before that was to finish as a top 10-15 player who had potential to push Mike but later on down he would regress and and the conversation never got close. But LeBron being competitive saw Kobe, who was leagues, miles ahead of everyone in workouts and practice, knew what he had to do. He’d have to work harder, care about his body more, and put in the work 24/7. I believe he willingly played second fiddle in those Olympics but worked hard enough to be able to be called the guy, and I think he took this into the rest of his career. It’s a testament to his mental toughness that he is still so motivated, no one doubts his work ethic on and off the court. And in my opinion he’s number 1 or number 2 all time. But I am not sure he would have been that way if it wasn’t staring him in the face that Kobe worked out and practiced harder than anyone else. Kobe was always going to be MJ lite, but LeBron is a different beast and as the oldest player in the league with the stats he has, the conversation is there and it exists. So thank you Kobe for a legacy that lives on in more ways than what’s immediately apparent. 7 Reply 3 replies @saintevo6953 9 months ago This is the closest we'll ever get to watching Lebron vs MJ for the goat title.

Injuries robbed Kobe of his talents and Kobe was never given the same level of respect as he had before Colorado, The NBA never allowed him to have help like he needed, Kobe pushed Pal and Won 2 back to backs with 2 teams that averaged lesser points than Lebron James early Cavilers teams.

Ask MJ why he never went to finals in the 80's. Those years the Lakers, Celtics and Pistons (in their PRIME) dominating the entire league.

Just saying Reply @Gr0ot 9 months ago (edited) If you’re going to make videos about basketball players VS each other, how about you don’t add your own bias and views into it. As you can tell this video was heavily in favor of Kobe despite Lebron actually winning all their matchups. Even in the first part, you’re like “In a Mamba Mentality Like Nature Lebron.” You do realize Kobe didn’t even adopt that mindset yet. He came up with it for a basketball clinic. Lebron dominated since he was in the league, not when he became like Kobe. That was a disrespect to Lebron. And Kobe was also Kobe. They made eachother better but that’s all. The video the reeks Kobe, and gives no credit to Lebron. You try to make Kobe sims sound way better than Lebron’s. And then downplays how much he has won over Kobe. If you like Kobe that’s okay. But don’t add it into every second. Even the last part was quite ass. It’s the All-Star Game. No fuck he wasn’t serious. Only Kobe was. Reply @Dmm314 9 months ago The difference between Kobe and Lebron is so hard to quantify because one is supremely talented and athletic but the other was so skilled they almost negated each other.

But other players that came after him No. Kobe Bryant over LeBron James any day year or month. If you pick LeBron over Kobe. Obviously you don't know nothing about basketball 🏀. And LeBron fouled Kobe Bryant when he attempted that reverse dunk. Smh refs be rigging these games. That's why Kobe Bryant still came clutch to win the game for USA. Who's this annoying guy talking anyway. This announcer is annoying that's talking not to be mean or anything but I'm just saying. And how you not going to count the USA game. Kobe Bryant won that one against Lebron. And LeBron said Kobe tried to dunk on him. He did and block LeBron too lol twice or maybe more. And ofcourse LeBron James had more better players on his teams than Kobe Bryant has.

All the other league MVPs James won, and the efficiency in which he won in. Kobe scored more than him on much worse percentage in many games, but it was smooved over in this video as Kobe won the 1v1 battle. I think 1v1 Kobe v LeBron is unfair honestly.

Kobe had the mental edge, which is actually more important than just physical gift. If Lebron had the mental toughness Kobe had, I would put him up there with MJ as one of the best players to ever exist, but at this point that wont ever happen.
