The Difference Between MJ Kobe and LeBron

Bomani Jones describes the difference between Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James. After the recent revelation that LeBron James Los Angeles Lakers star wouldn't play 1v1 basketball against any of his teammates. LeBron likes to win, whereas Jordan and Kobe wanted to beat you. They would take the one-on-one challenges because they have a different motivation just to beat you and not just to win. They wouldn't just win at easy games they wanted to beat the best at their best skill.

They all love winning and hate losing. They just show it different.

THE EASIEST WAY TO TELL WHO'S THE BEST

WHO DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THE LAST SHOT....????

WHICH PLAYER DO YOU WANT TO MAKE THE LAST DEFENSIVE STOP??


I bet no one picks LeBron
in any of these circumstances

[jeffreybuffkin]

Jordan wants you to lose, Kobe wants himself to win, and Bron wants everyone to have fun playing

[JimDee]

Jordan/Kobe wanted to dominate their individual matchup and/or demoralize the other teams' best player. Bron has it in him (come on, you know he does and have shown it so don't trip), but Bron wants to always make THE best basketball play at any given time. Sometimes he believe him taking the final shot is the best play, and him passing or playing the decoy is the best. Doesn't matter either way. All three are three of the greatest athletes this world has ever seen. I enjoy(ed) watching all 3 equally.

This conversation is so dumb to me… they all want to kill you… they played basketball differently… LeBron picks you apart and whatever the right play is he makes it… Jordan was a scoring onslaught and Kobe was a technical scoring masterclass

[samgunz]

Thank you... we tend yo leave out the mentality when making the MJ and Lebron debate

[DeviMitchell]

I vote Bomani a permanent seat on the couch!!
Those in favor, like and say “I” ✋🏾

[topekasmith-bsuv]

I swear I can’t play vs computer it hurts n it has to be somebody good great or every better than that ugh I love ittt

[bigd]

I can’t tell from the way ran he ran the hornets for years smh

[krsafoa]

If we see a player smiling an goof'N off wen loosing THEN i get this argument...BUT like a great coach once said...
"you play to win tha game duh"

[dalynkupmiles]

That sounds stupid😂 You gotta beat someone to win

[jrake]

The difference between them is that they all want to win but Kobe and Jordan want to be the reason they won and LeBron doesn’t care how they win. That is the reason Colby and Jordan always wanted the last shot even if it was a bad shot and LeBron would just pass to whoever is open.

[joamigg]

So they all hate losing and love winning is basically what you just said

[inokerogoyawa]

They hate losing more than they like winning…Most people aren’t built like that…

[jasonmullins]

How can you think you know what the next man is feeling….Fanboy wild

[davidcarlos]

This is why he is my GOAT, Mike would rather beat you than win

[jrake]

The difference between them is that they all want to win but Kobe and Jordan want to be the reason they won and LeBron doesn’t care how they win.

[KingCynical]

I respect Bomani, but I’m so tired of these dumb, moist conversations about, Jordan, Lebron and Kobe. They are successful in their own way. Winning is winning. All of them have NBA Championships, Olympic Gold, NBA Regular /Finals MVPS. All are either are or going to be in the Basketball hall of fame. All of them have been ambassadors of their sport, here in the Untied States and around the world. I personally have bought multiple pairs of their shoes. These conversations are beyond boring now.

When analysts try to become philanthropists it sounds so stupid.

[mjtasticjefferson]

Kobe said he's only competitive at things he knows he can win, MJ is just competitive on everything 😂
