Just gonna answer the question you asked, I believe "Prime Lebron" is/ will be better then Prime Kobe ever will be. Look Bryant was just a great scorer, and an okay defender. He's not a better passer, not a better rebounder, and not a better defender. He only averages like 2 points more then lebron now, even though Lebron is taking half as many shots.

Sell, for 2 reasons.
1. How do we tell if this is LeBron's prime, or if he is going to get any better?
2. If this right now is prime LeBron, then Kobe in his prime was considerably better.
Since 2003 when LeBron came in to the NBA, the best player in the game over that span has been Kobe by a mile, despite the media swinging from Bron's nuts every chance they get.
As for "greatest of all time", neither of them compare to Michael Jordan.
I think Kobe's career will be better than LeBron's because Kobe has more skill. Once LeBron's athleticism fades you will see his footwork and the mechanics of his shot aren't that good, so his prime will be shorter than Kobe's was.

Sell, Prime Kobe was unstoppable, while LeBron is just now been in his prime for about a year or 2.

Kobe has the 2nd and 4th worsts taking photos video games interior the history of the NBA...yet he redeemed himself with 5 rings...sort of on account that he had shaq and a gaggle of different gamers. Lebron had between the worst finales appearances in history final twelve months whilst he scored 9 factors in each and all the fourth quarters of the finales prepare. with a bit of luck he can redeem himself wit ha few rings yet he will have Wade and Bosh... i think of it relatively is unfair to declare who's greater between Kobe and Lebron because of the fact they play distinctive positions. Lebron's athleticism is greater then Kobe's athleticism even in best yet Kobe's ability far surpasses Lebron's And area of it relatively is Lebron performs forward the place he's desperate with the aid of his actual length while Kobe is a shelter who's desperate with the aid of play making ability greater advantageous than his athleticism.

You can't compare them because they play so differently. Now if it were Jordan vs Kobe we could argue...but it isn't. And also I believe LeBron isn't at his prime yet.

It's unfair to compare the two they have completely different game styles
