Statistically speaking, no. Kobe Bryent has both better personal and team statistic in both game, season and career stand-points.

The main difference between Kobe and Paul is that Kobe has the pure athleticism and is an all around faster, stronger player.
They are so good because they have Kobe Bryant, Paul Gasol, and Andrew Bynum.
During the 2008 NBA finals Kobe Bryant stated on a couple of interviews that Paul Pierce was his favorite, LeBron James being second. Which I can relate to Even though I don't like Pierce, overall he is a much better player than Bryant. Pierce doesn't have much flash and fancy moves however he gets the job done. Even before Kevin and Ray, the Celtics was a strugling team and Paul Pierce was pretty much the one man band just to save the team some face in the league. And one thing about Pierce he's as tough as they come, second if not equal to Shaq, but can actually shoot.
The best basketball player that is playing currently is without a doubt, Lebron James. The best retired basketball player is Michael Jordan.
