Which one is better with Kobe or James? Who has a higher status?

As an epoch-making superstar in the NBA, Kobe and James can be compared with technical characteristics and historical status from the following dimensions:

1. Comparison of technical capabilities ‌

‌Comprehensiveness ‌

James is more advantageous in technical fields such as rebounding, breakthrough layups, blocks, assists and passes and three-point shooting. Especially his organizational ability is known as the "Morse level of the court", and his ball-holding efficiency is the top in history.

Kobe is more exquisite in back-to-back singles, mid-range jump shots, footstep changes (fusion of Olajuwon's fantasy dance steps) and the diversity of scoring methods, and has outstanding ability to control the axial foot and create shooting space.

‌Key ball ability‌

Kobe completed 26 finals in his regular season + 5 buzzer-beating kills in the playoffs. His active ball rate at critical moments is as high as 98%, and he is known for his "strong shot and hard solution". James scored 19 finals in the regular season + 2 buzzer-beating kills in the playoffs, and he is more inclined to break through and pass the ball or attract defense to pass. ‌Most stars (such as Harden and Sir Jr.) believe that Kobe is stronger in key goals‌‌.

‌Photography and Defense‌

‌Photography‌: Kobe’s mid-range shooting percentage was 45.4% (James 40.1%), but he lowered his overall three-point shooting percentage in three years after the rupture of the Achilles tendon; James’ three-point shooting percentage was higher (34.8% vs. 32.9%), but Kobe’s attacking shot was more stable.

‌Defense‌: Kobe was selected for the best defensive team nine times, with strong close-fitting defense, forcing his opponent's shooting percentage to drop by 8.2%; James was selected for the best defensive team five times, with top assistive defense capabilities, but his concentration fluctuated in the later stage.

‌2. Comparison of historical status‌

‌Core Honors‌

‌James‌: 4× Champion + 4×FMVP+4×MVP+Historical Score King (over 41,000 points) + 13 times‌.

‌Kobe‌: 5× Champion +2×FMVP +1×MVP +11 times one set +9 times one set (the first in history in one set and one set).

‌James Great Honors (MVP+FMVP) dominates, with Kobe's team champions more but less FMVP. ‌

‌Dovernance and adaptability‌

James leads the team with a higher lower limit, and all the teams in his career can make steady progress to the playoffs, and wins the championship as a core team in different teams (Heat, Cavaliers, Lakers). Kobe worked with O'Neal in the early stage to complete three consecutive championships (the contribution rate accounted for 34% of the team's offense during the three consecutive championships), and later led the team with absolute core to win two consecutive championships‌.

‌Influence and inheritance‌

Kobe’s “Mamba Spirit” has become a symbol of competitive sports, and his training attitude and desire to win and lose influence a generation of players;

James redefined the standards of modern forwards, breaking the age limit cognition during his super-long peak period‌.

‌In terms of global popularity, Kobe has a higher awareness among middle-aged and elderly people in China with the help of events such as the Olympics, and James has a wider influence among young fans‌‌.

‌3. Conclusion: Each technology has its own advantages, and James is slightly higher in status‌

‌Technical level‌: James wins in comprehensiveness and efficiency. Kobe is proficient in traditional techniques and key ball hard resolution. Pure technology is more delicate, but James is more balanced in comprehensive offensive and defensive role.

‌Historical status: mainstream media and honor accumulation tend to be higher‌ James‌ (4MVP+4FMVP+data accumulation), but Kobe is still in the top ten in history due to 5 championships + defensive honors + spiritual legacy.
