Kobe or Lebron, Who is the best?

In the NBA, everyone asks this question, and many are left without knowing how to respond, because we are talking about the two best basketball players in the world today. If we had the results of a survey asking people who is better, it would be useless, Kobe and Lebron have the same fans that detractors.

Kobe Bryant is more elegant and knows how to play better the last possessions of the game, those shots that distinguish the great players of the great legends of this sport. Despite this, many people prefer Lebron, arguing that their 31 years is in physical decline or is obsessed with becoming better than Michael Jordan. Instead Lebron plays more physical than Kobe, but seems to play alone, without companions, and it is impossible to win anything in basketball if you don't play in team. Leaving other questions not related with basketball (Kobe was accused of rape and Lebron has already several fines for disobedience). Now, choose the best basketball's player of both is impossible, and if one is better than another will be in the end of Kobe and Lebron's careers.
