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

[HacksawJimThuggin]

I'd say he's 3rd behind Mike and Magic... Pretty appropriate considering Bron's skill set is basically a fusion of the two

I think that's because Magic wasn't comparable as a scorer, nor close as a defender, and when Mike set his mind to passing he could, averaged 32/8/8 one year.

Maybe because until Jordan.....players knew better than to shoot 28 times a game

20 on .520%, 11.2 ast, 7rebs, 1.9stl, .4blk
30 on .491%, 5.3ast, 6rebs, 2.3stl, .8blk

All this defensive talk. Jordan was marginally better. All that being a "better all around player" goes out the window when it comes to protecting MJ. The nikka Magic put up 24ppg on 52% with 12 dimes one year.

One of only 3 guards to win DPOY was only "marginally better" than Magic defensively?

Why do Kobe stans have to invade every Bron related thread? I hate both these nikkas, but i'm not gonna sit here and act like these fools aint nice. Bron is the 2nd greatest wing player ive ever seen. nikka is unstoppable.

Stop comparing Kobe and Bron, Bron is easily better. I've only thought Kobe was the player in the league 2 seasons, 05-06 and 06-07. Bron has been way better in every season after 07, that includes Kobe's joke of an MVP year.

nikka .4 is marginal

how are you not in someone's league defensively & he averages .4 more steals & blocks than you? do yall not know how to use idioms correctly?

 

[Smokin Rider]

Kobe IS easily better. Basketball is mostly physical but Kobe had the mental edge that LeBron is not even close to having and cannot be learned. Kobe & Jordan had it. They want the ball in their hands at the end of the game, LeBron starts getting pass happy in important games, he was the majority of last game too in the 4th. If he was driving instead of being pass happy it would have never came down to that Durant shot.

Cant lebron fans just acknowledge lebron as a alltime great without always tryin to say hes better than kobe and in some cases jordan? Shyt is gettin out of hand.

 

[Lakerman0834]

Sounds familiar only the way I remember it had Kobe in place of Lebron and Mike in place of Kobe. It really does come all the way back around huh?

 

[Broke Wave]

Lmao so Lebron James is better than Kobe Bryant all time based off potential?



He's better than Jordan too then based off potential.

He's a better passer, rebounder, and more athletic.


Name one thing outside of steals that Jordan does better?

 

[YBE]

You got 600 more posts than me & half the daps...

I'm doing something right

 

[blackzeus]

^^^feel the same way about this thread

BECAUSE LEBRON SCORES JUST AS MUCH AS KOBE,
WHEREAS MAGIC WAS NEVER CLOSE TO THE SCORER MIKE WAS...
THEN IN THE SAME POST YOU IMPLY ALL JORDAN DID WAS SCORE.
JORDAN PUT UP 33 8, 8 & 3 FOR A WHOLE SEASON.
​

Do you really feel Lebron has been a better individual defender than Kobe?

Comparing Kobe and Lebron to me is a joke.

1) the offense RUNS THROUGH James. It's different than Kobe, where plays are ran FOR HIM. James is a true point-forward. Since he's directing the offense more, of course he will get more assists. Kobe is a career 4.7 APG, including his early years, and Bron is a career 6.9. Dude is getting only two more APG despite basically playing pseudo PG. I am sure if there is a stat showing how many times a player touched the ball per possession, Bron's would be at least 1.5 times that of Kobe's.

2) For all this talk about Kobe being a volume shooter, Lebron actually has a higher FGA per game than Kobe I also think Kobe sees a lot more double teams than Lebron, but can't argue that Kobe takes some bad shots at times, but that's all part of that killer mentality

3) Lebron will never have an 81 point game, you can quote this if you want. Will be surprised if he can even get 60. He's not a pure scorer, his jumpshot is iffy at best, although it's getting better. Yeah, maybe he can average the same, but to say he's just as good at scoring as Kobe is ridiculous. I've seen many plays with Lebron one on one where it has looked

4) As weak as the East has been the last decade, Lebron's only been to the Finals three times in 9 years, Kobe has been to the NBA Finals 7 times COMING OUT OF THE WEST! Even if Kobe retires today, Lebron will need to get to the Finals 4 more times to EVEN MATCH. Assuming Lebron has a 15 year dominant career like Kobe has, which I doubt, it means he will need to get to the Finals at least 4 times out of the next 6 years, , and win all 4 to match Kobe's title count, ASSUMING he wins this year

I could go on and on. Lebron has to at least match Kobe's accomplishments before this is even a discussion, and even then, Kobe did what he has done coming against much stronger competition. F*ck, at least let him win 1 championship. Nikkaz crownin' nikkaz off of one game, is that what's hot in these streets?

How can you be the 2nd greatest of all time without any championships to back up your individual numbers?

Bron aint even the best SF of all-time yet
