Nowadays, some of their former fans have grown into pillars of each team. So if we think about it and let James fans and Kobe fans form one team each in the league, which team will be stronger?
Point Guard: Lillard VS Irving
As a loyal little fan of James, Lillard has emphasized in public more than once that James is his favorite player in the league. , and follow his example. It can be said that James is the number one point guard in the league. On the other hand, Irving, who was once James' younger brother, was an out-and-out Kobe Bryant fan. It is said that the young and frivolous Irving once challenged Kobe to a one-on-one challenge, and the latter also defeated Irving without any suspense. From then on, he It became an out-and-out Ke Mi.
The two point guards are equally matched in strength. Lillard has better personal data and team performance, while Irving has proven himself in the finals and shot in the tiebreaker. He scored the winning three-pointer and helped the team win the championship. It is impossible to say who is better, Lillard or Irving. It can only be said that the two sides are tied in terms of point guard.
Shooting Guard: Doncic VS Harden
At the shooting guard position, the new generation Doncic is undoubtedly the biggest James fan. In the second season, Doncic was able to score 28.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists, and he has a bright future; but compared to Kobe's fanboy MVP-level Harden, Doncic pales in comparison. Harden is undoubtedly the best player among all players. He has an enhanced version of Doncic and has led the team to the playoffs many times. Therefore, in the shooting guard competition, Kobe's fans undoubtedly defeated James' fans.
Small forward: Tatum VS Paul George
At the small forward position, James’s biggest fan is undoubtedly Tatum. Tatum had a relationship with James when he was a child. Take a friendly photo together. As one of the best small forwards of the new generation, Tatum once led the Celtics to face James in the Eastern Conference Finals, and even dunked on his idol!
Paul George of the Clippers is an out-and-out Kobe, and he even named his pet dog after Kobe! (In the United States, naming your dog after an idol shows respect.) George, who was a former Pacer, also wore the No. 24 jersey to pay tribute to Kobe. If you compare Tatum and George, there is no doubt that the latter is better. After all, one is a star who once ranked in the top three in the MVP list, and the other is just a young talent of the new generation. Kobe Bryant has one more point at the small forward position.
Power Forward: Big Eyebrow VS Giannis Antetokounmpo
At the power forward position, James’ fanboy is his current teammate Big Eyebrow. It is said that Big Eyebrow was anxious to transfer to the Lakers back then. Fight side by side with James. As the No. 1 pick in 2012, Brother Big Eyebrow is good at offense and defense, and can be said to be one of the strongest insiders in the league.
On the other hand, Antetokounmpo, who is a fan of Kobe, has been attracted by Kobe since he entered the league. Even before his own signature shoes came out, Antetokounmpo always wore Kobe's sneakers. Back then, Kobe also gave Antetokounmpo an MVP challenge, and he lived up to his idol's expectations. Therefore, the two are equally powerful at the power forward position.
Center: Embiid VS Towns
The fans of the two players at the center position are very amused. First of all, Embiid is a little fan. ?, there was a lot of noise about James' transfer back then. In order to attract his idol to Philadelphia, Embiid took great pains. But who knew that James would eventually go to the Lakers, and Embiid blocked James' social media in anger. This fan was really a little irritable.
Compared with Embiid, Towns is very humble. In a media interview, he said that he was willing to play on the same team as the famous Kobe Bryant, saying that he was a true fan of Kobe Bryant.
However, it is difficult to judge who is better between Towns and the Great. If you include the performance of leading the team, then Embiid is slightly better!
To put it all together, among the 5 positions of James’ fans and Kobe’s fans, the two teams are tied at 2 positions.
