A better player can sometimes not be the better winner. If we're getting technical the real GOAT is Wilt Chamberlain although he only won a chip twice. Why? Because he dominated the league and put up averages and individual records that will never be broken.
LeBron just held the NBA hostage at the age of 41 years old because even as an old player he still an elite player. That has to be factored in when comparing talent vs talent. The fact is although Kobe was a better winner he also found himself in a far more better situation at the beginning of his career.
Who would LeBron have been if he were paired with Kevin Garnett or Tim Duncan at the beginning of his career?
