In an appearance on ESPN’s The Jump, the analyst Richard Jefferson, while looking into the Kobe Bryant vs. LeBron James debate, pointed out one LeBron’s advantage over Kobe:
“Kobe was great, one of the greatest of all time, but you can’t say ‘five championships to Lebron’s three’ – Lebron’s never been the second-best player on his team, ever in his career, and it’s really not even close. Dwyane Wade was probably the best teammate he’s probably had,” Jefferson said, per ClutchPoints.
Bryant averaged 25.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game during his career. Meanwhile, James averages 27.2 points, 7.4 boards and 7.2 assists per contest.
