In that era, no one expected James and Kobe to achieve the "Jenko team-up". 23vs24 again and again was the most exciting duel. The two players closest to gods in the league after Jordan are the focus of everyone's attention, both in terms of their own strength and commercial value. It's hard to say which one is better in the duel between the two. If you really want to compare, the difference is only a hair's breadth, a thin line.

Kobe Bryant entered the league before James, so according to seniority, James can only be a challenger even if he is the favorite of heaven. In his career, Kobe has created too many brilliance. His name has been mentioned again and again. In the eyes of fans, Kobe is even the closest to Joe's leader. And James has been given this mission since he entered the league: to break all records and become the man at the top of the league pyramid. As if he was ordered to do something in danger, the young James was under unimaginable pressure. His opponent was always the strongest legend, from Jordan in history to Kobe Bryant who stood in front of him.

It is a pity that 23VS24 was not staged in the finals. This is a lifelong regret for many fans. After Kobe retired, James continued to carve his name on the list of historical records, and the real emperor came to the court. In another arena, James is also completing his surpassing Kobe.

Looking at the historical records of the All-Stars, Kobe is the most outstanding All-Star player in the past two decades. He has won the All-Star MVP four times, been selected to the All-Stars 18 times, and started 11 consecutive times. Such a record Almost no one among the current players can complete it anymore. If he hadn't suddenly decided to retire due to injury, I believe Kobe's record in the All-Stars would have improved. The only one who is close now is little Emperor James. In this All-Star Game, James broke three of Kobe's records in one fell swoop, namely goals, shots and rebounds.

Now James is gradually entering the late stage of his career, and his peak state will not last for long. The once peerless two prides can now only face off in the distance. Who can take over the banner in the future? Challenge James who dominates the league? Who can truly become the next strongest player at the top of the alliance pyramid? The truly strong are always fighting against themselves in the end.
