Kobe never had melt down games like LBJ has had in the Finals. I think he has 3 of the top 5 of all time between great players. This year he was missing in action 2 of the 5 games. What I hate about LBJ is he waits to score. Miami Heats melt down this year was because LBJ didn't want to take over the game. He always tries to get his teammates involved. He needs to know when they don't have it and take over. Also hate that LBJ hates taking the last shot. He passes the ball 90% of the time in those situations.
Kobe is the better shooter and scorer then LBJ, but LBJ is the better overall player. I still take Kobe over LBJ every day of the week. There is a reason why Kobe has 5 rings.
Yes he has. See Celts and Pistons.
