Will LeBron ever be seen as better than Kobe in the eyes of Lakers fans?

[Rambunctious]

A better player? Just stop that. LeBron averages more points, rebounds, assist, steals, blocks, has a better FG% and a better 3-point %. And though 20 seasons, same number Kobe played, LeBron has more all star selections and more 1st team selections.

Going by the head to head numbers how is Kobe the better player?

And a better man? Again stop that. Kobe paid an out of court settlement from a civil suit brought against him.

Rings as a Lakers player. count them.

Nobody here said LeBron is the greater Laker.

You seem to be saying Kobe has been the better player over the duration of his career.

That is very false.

The best players are the best when it counts the most. I gage that by championships.

John Salley is tied with LeBron for me too.

You can use whatever metric you want, but that is a terrible way to do that.

Robert Horry is clearly better than LeBron Kobe and MJ also

Still holding on to bad takes about the bubble? It's been 5 years, let it go.

Still pretending the bubble was anything legitimate? It's been 5 years, let it go.

This type of sarcasm has become characteristic of a fanbase that's become accustomed to losing and needs desperately to lower the bar to make their hero measure up.

Chamberlain was never the GOAT of the Lakers, doesn't change his overall ranking.

Kobe isn't the GOAT of the Lakers either. I'd have him no higher than fighting for 3rd behind Magic and KAJ.

Magic was a liability on defense and Kareem wasn't the Lakers's best player for most of his Championships with the team. Hell they won their last title in spite of him.

Kobe is clearly the GOAT Laker.
