American journalist and television host Stephen A. Smith shared his thoughts on the comparison between two NBA legends – LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.

When you're playing with Shaq and the rest of the crew and then ultimately Gasol and Bynum, and the rest of the crew, you had a crew. When you struggled, you really, really struggled. That was never LeBron. As bad as the Lakers were as they descended in Kobe's final few years there, would that have ever happened with LeBron? The answer is no. With LeBron James, no team would have been as bad as the Lakers were at one point.
According to Smith, the discussion will always remain open, but to him, the difference lies in the impact each player has on their respective teams.
