The rings come from WHOLE TEAM. If I recall. It isn't dependent on one person, it's a team game. If you want to make a rings argument. Then I suppose if team has few bad players, then the whole team wins a lot of rings. I suppose the bad players are better than the good players since they have more rings. It's not right to say that one person is better than another because he has more rings which he got due to the WHOLE TEAM doing things. If Kobe were to play a basketball game against a whole team on his own, it's most likely that he would lose. For these two individuals, I prefer Lebron. From the games I've watched in the past that these two were one, Lebron is simply better. I don't keep up to date with basketball that much, though.
Statistics go in favour of Kobe, and although i love the guy, you have to take into consideration the fact Kobe has been pro for 14 years, Lebron has been pro for 7.
Statistics matter sometimes. Example when they don't matter: A lot of people know that Marshall Faulk used to be one of the best rushing backs in the past. However, if he were to do that now, then he wouldn't be very good. I'm talking about the present. From what I've seen, Lebron is better than Kobe in the basketball games I've seen. Also, experience matters sometimes, just like statistics. I'm experienced in Exit Path. However, I bet there are better people than me on the game. Just because I have more experience and better statistics than another individual does not make me better than them.
