and Bill would be an idiot by saying such things. now aside from the obvious..what other player wouldnt want to play with a guy who loves to pass but is also a deadly scorer which means you mr role guy will be WIDE OPEN? that goes without saying.prime kobe/mike are better than LBJ. but i'll take LBJ as my teammate over them if i want to get more touches. now if i want to win more often in any era no matter how stiff the comp may be in the toughest conference(not always the weak east). then give me kobe or mike.

but if i just wanna have fun outchea while i also win a ring or two. its LBJ all day.


but he just said mike couldnt do those other things? Do you need me to pull up the stats?

What did kobe due vs boston when his shot wasnt falling? Out rebounded everyone on both teams. thats all he did. you know. do what ya gotta do to win the game. you know... what winners do.

Mike has done the same. mike has averaged a very high number of assists because they had no point forward/nor a pg at the time that was reliable. so he did it. dont be confused by what guys dont do everyday by what they cant do if need be.
i've seen mike grab 15 boards when he needed to. i've seen kobe dish out 10 assists when he needed to.

the idea that LBJ is some triple threat that these guys are not is a fallacy. LBJ is bigger, he's the size of a Power forward, he better grab 10 boards per. thats not the job of a 6'6 guard.
1. A player like Laimbeer would not care about touches since he made his name on the defensive end.

2. You made his point about versatility. We all know that great players find ways to win (ex. grabs boards or dish out assists when your shot isnt going). But LeBron does all those things on a nightly basis. Its one thing to dish out 15 assists one night because your shot doesn't fall, its a whole different animal to average 8-10 for an entire playoff run. Whether you agree on who is better is one thing, but there really is no argument when it comes to versatility.

Terry didn't guard him. They sent Marion, Kidd, Stephenson, and always had another big behind them in the zone sets they were running. Did you even watch the 2011 finals? 18/7/7 on 48% shooting is being locked up?
Yea 18/7/7 is getting locked up when u use to averaging close to 30 and your team expecting that out of u. And if u watch the game u will see he got locked up, dude was in fear whenever they backed off him and dared him to shoot

Wade averaged 8 assist for an entire post-season. He even averaged 9 assist in a series.

They dared long two pointers off the dribble. He's smarter than taking those shots. They rarely go in. What we needed to bust their zone was more three point shooting and defense to slow them down on the other end. Instead mike bibby and Joel Anthony got big minutes and we were basically playing 4 on 5 defensively and 3 on 5 offensively as a result. With Wade averaging 30+ much of the series, what we needed was better defense. The Mavericks defensive plan was slow janes down at all costs. With Wade going off like he did the first five games, that's a losing strategy if Miami plays defense at the level they previously had.

He wins. lol. Still aint fukkin wit Jordan imo. nikka barely even fukkin wit prime Kobe imo. 2 nikkas that aren't as naturally physically gifted as Bron but got that shyt done. and didn't take no for an answer.
But he'll have more FMVP's than a "nikka that gets shyt done" in Kobe if he wins?

If he played with shaq he'd have TEN rings.:sas2:

All that is fine and well, but u just side setting the fact that he got shut down cause they knew he couldn't make them shoots. They gameplan took away his drive and he can't shoot great


Would gameplan work on
Kobe
Curry
Harden
Wade
T Mac
Pierce
Ray Allen
Agent 0
Iverson
Melo
Kd
Wesbrook
Cp3


Just to name a few off his peers from his generation

nikka stop. u don't know what the fukk he would have done cause the shyt aint happen.. and I don't give a shyt about his FMVP's either..he aint the winner Kobe is..period.

Same amount of FMVP's (and counting)
3 MORE MVP's (and counting)
Will pass Kobe up in every category

Hell, if he fukks around and gets another scoring title he will have tied Kobe in that as well.


He BEEN passed Kobe up.

Get him OUT of this convo :camby:
