This is a really hard question to answer, because they both play different types of games and they're both different positions. I'm going to have to say that Kobe is better for just a FEW reasons.
1. Kobe is a better free-throw shooter. Shaq is improving, but I still dont trust him late in the game.
2. Kobe is clutch. Shaq is also a clutch player but I would rather have Kobe with the ball at the end of the game because of his ability to create for himself.
3. Although Shaq is very dominating, Kobe has an awesome jumper. I think that if Shaq would get a medium range shot, he would be unstoppable, (although he practically is!)
