Fan reactions on Twitter

A lot of fans have come to the rescue of Kobe Bryant by attacking LeBron James. They could not believe that LeBron, a player younger than him, is being considered for the debate.

Many fans have also said that LeBron is ahead in the Greatest of all time race since he understands the politics of the sport. Fans have said that he pushes his agenda through media houses to give an impression of him creating a legacy.

However, a lot of fans have appreciated LeBron’s game. They believe that LeBron is actually ahead of Kobe. Be it statistics or the killer instinct, LeBron is an exceptional player.

However, the hate on LeBron on Twitter is too much. Fans have resorted to saying that he does not even deserve to be in the greatest of all-time debate.

Many fans have respectfully stated that they appreciate LeBron. However, Kobe is greater in their opinion. Everyone has subjective opinions, but that does not mean they do not respect the other player.

Many fans have gone on a completely different tangent. They believe that the greatest of all time debate should also include players like Tim Duncan. However, fans believe that spectators are not ready for this conversation.

Kobe has a huge fan following and fans love him. They will obviously come to his defense if he is snubbed from the greatest of all-time debate. However, it is important to respect both players. LeBron is creating history right now, and fans are also grateful that they are witnessing it.
