1. Both are enemies and friends. If James and Kobe are enemies, it can only be said that they have maintained a competitive relationship all the year round. Whether in the playoffs or in the regular season, you can often see him playing. From Kobe's character, he always has a heart to win. I'm not the kind of person who wants to be second or third. I just want to win. ? 、? Have you ever seen Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning? ? From these words, we can see how strong Kobe's desire to win is. James is also such a person. It can be seen from his spending millions and tens of millions on his body to keep himself healthy and competitive for a long time, and from his early years when he took the Cavaliers to the playoffs every year. The relationship between them is to learn from each other, but also to compete with each other. For James, Kobe is his biggest competitor and his learning object.
People often compare them with each other. In fact, from the perspective of fans, both of them are great, but competitive sports are like this. People often only remember the best players, so they often compare them together, including their achievements, how many points they scored, how many NBA championships they won, and even when they won the championship, they discussed who was strong and who was weak for their teammates. For the fans, this comparison is a kind of recognition, but for the two, this comparison has deepened the feelings of mutual appreciation between their heroes, which can be seen from when they joined the national team and led the national team to the Olympic Games.
3. After James came to the Lakers and led his old club Cavaliers to win the championship, he realized his deepest wish. At this point, Kobe has retired. Before James made this choice for the Lakers, he called Kobe and asked him what he thought of coming to the Lakers. It can be seen that the two have deep feelings. Only when they respect each other very much will they ask each other's opinion at the first time.
Finally, I want to say that James and Kobe each represent an era. I hope all the fans who like them don't hurt another because they like one. For basketball, they are all great, RIP.
