Kobe Bryant or LeBron James? It's an argument that people have been having for years and years and years now. In fact, we made cases for both players earlier this month.

We vouched for Kobe here:

1.

And gave LeBron his props here:

2.

But which player is really better? Well, on Tuesday night, after Andrew Wiggins played against LeBron for the first time, he was asked if LeBron presented him with the "most challenging matchup" so far during his time in the NBA. And Wiggins responded by saying that LeBron was not been the toughest matchup for him. Instead, that honor goes to—you guessed it—Kobe.

I asked Wiggins if LeBron was most challenging matchup for him so far b/c of his strength and he replied that Kobe's been toughest so far

To be fair, Wiggins has matched up against Kobe twice so far during his rookie season, so that may be why he gives the nod to Kobe at this point. His opinion could very well change in the coming months and years. But for now, Kobe is still > LeBron in Wiggins' opinion.

Do you agree?
