Kobe Bryant Had Perfect Answer To Put An End To LeBron-Jordan Debate

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant is one of the best basketball players of all time. He has always been compared to LeBron James or Michael Jordan. The GOAT debate still revolves around these two. However, Kobe Bryant was never a fan of the GOAT debate. He didn’t want to talk about it at all.

In 2017, the Black Mamba answered a question about these comparisons and debates. He hadn’t even thought about it. Kobe didn’t like debates and comparisons. He was the most competitive player, and winning games was his main interest.

“I don’t (think about it). One thing about me is I’m only going to care about something I know I can definitively win,” Kobe said at the time. “If it’s not something I can definitively win, I’m not going to pay attention to it. If there’s an argument that’s happening, that argument is never going to go anywhere. Everybody’s going to argue till they’re blue in the face, so why would I think about it? If we’re playing ping pong, I know I can beat you in ping pong, I’m going to beat you in ping pong. I’m going to think about that. That’s a definitive thing. So I don’t think about that much.”

Kobe Bryant didn’t want to discuss the debate

Bryant was well aware of the fact that these debates don’t really end. He knew that fans would always support their favorite player. We all have a different idol. Kobe knew that and didn’t really jump into conclusions.

Today, the GOAT debate splits NBA fans into two groups. ESPN’s documentary, “The Last Dance,” added fuel to the fire, and LeBron became a target once again. Well, he doesn’t really pay attention to the debate either. On one occasion, LeBron said he was the GOAT for winning the championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers. That’s all. LeBron won that title after bringing his team back on the top. The Cavaliers overcame a 3-1 deficit and found the strength to defeat the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors had just come out of a 73 season, and they were dominant. But, LeBron knew how to shut them down.
