Shooting is a
major part of a wing player's game. Like I've said before, Kobe has a better offensive arsenal, so I'm more comfortable choosing him. Until Lebron broadens his offensive game, Kobe's going to continue to be a notch above the other perimeter players in the league, and that's just how I feel. Lebron is a great scorer, but it's not because of his wide range of skills, it's moreso because he's physically superior. That's not a knock, but when you compare him to the best, that's his downfall.
Kobe's not only physically superior to his opponents, he's a lot more skilled. When you look at how many different ways you see him score during a game, he's just the best. I know they have roughly the same production, but in a direct comparision of two equal players, it becomes about how you score, not how much.
It's a close comparision, they're both on the same tier, but Kobe's just slightly better for the reasons I slated. I don't think it's all that bad, seeing as how young Lebron is to Kobe. He has years to refine his game.
