Come Tell Me Why I'm Wrong: Lebron is the 2nd Greatest Perimeter Player of All Time

Close thread.

Lebron surpassed Kobe in 2009. The real question is whether KD is also better. I would say no as an overall player, but KD is a better scorer than Kobe.

And let's be honest, depending on the next 5 years, Lebron has a chance at overtaking MJ. He probably won't but he's the only player i've seen that comes close in pure ability. Kobe was out of the "better than Jordan" sweepstakes when he was 23 (no irony intended). Lebron will hit 30 and he's just a bit behind pace.

make pretty jumpshots


i cant think of anything else


cant pass like bron
cant defend like bron
cant block shots like bron
not as athletic
cant get his teamates involved
horribe FG%
volume shooter

I'm not arguing you're wrong, just some of your points.

The fact that Kobe can't pass is the most annoying shyt I've heard. He's not a great play-maker, far from it, he's also far from being a bad play-maker. LeBron BARELY averaged over 1 block only 3 times in his career (1.0, 1.1, and 1.1). Kobe offensively >> Bron, but Bron has a good gap on defense why is why Bron is a better perimeter player. Kobe is under-rated and over-rated on defense. He's not all-team material but he's far from bad. Kobe had a 42 or 44 inch vertical, he is also a dunk contest winner. Overall LeBron is a bit more athletic but it's not really a huge gap. Kobe has like 44-47% shooting throughout his career, that's average leaning more towards good.

First of all @ the bold, '03-09 >>>> '96-09???????? Comparing their '09 seasons it was arguable


And you're saying 09 LeBron >>> Kobe but you have to consider current KD >> Kobe? WTF

do you realize current LeBron >>>>>>>>>>>> 09 LeBron

and KD is arguably better than LeBron right now. If you say LeBron is better you have no right to say KD isn't on his level.

Even two years ago I saw it like this now it's not even debatable anymore

1.Jordan
2.Lebron
3.Magic
4.Bird
5.KD

Fixed

Go back and watch that dunk contest before you use that as proof of Kobe's hops.

shyt was literally status. Not just him but the whole thing.

[labelplant]

shyt if he wins this year, he may pass Jordan

I know most people will never admit that and i always liked Jordan more because he was more skilled. But LeBron is so damn dominant, he is just as quick/jumps as high as MJ but he's also 6'8/250..
