Pre-Heat he had trash around him and was still scoring more efficiently than Kobe though.

Pre-heat lebron just dominated people inside. He was not shooting more efficiently than Kobe, key word is shooting, but he could finish in the paint area a lot better than Kobe could and that's always been his best ability as a scorer: getting inside and finishing inside.

hell nah :russ: dude is just good at taking up space like shaq did
and with todays rules (which doesnt really effect that much with his game)
how are you supposed to stop a bulldozer when you cant handcheck?

even with handchecking I think he would put up similar numbers
but he has no moves and alot of those points were put up on this new traveling bullshyt

completely different game now I try not to compare anymore ...put him in a few decades ago and he barely gets a shot off

:dead:......not sure how much actual basketball you watched ...nothing about the game a couple of decades ago would prevent him from getting a shot off....damn you dudes go over board with shyt....

The 718
In the 80's a high volume scorer shooting 50% wasn't out the norm. Entire teams shot 50% in the 80's. There were no zones, less athletic players, awful transition defense, higher pace, more FT attempts leaguewide.

LBJ, Melo, Kobe, Durant, etc. would put up better %'s then.
I'm talking strictly two pointers tho. The league shoots the same on twos now as it did in the 80s, but Kobe only has a couple of seasons where he shot above the league average there.

Yes, dumb ass logic. It doesn't make sense. You can't say someone isn't an elite scorer when they're top five, top ten, in scoring ALL TIME. That's just dumb as shyt. What you're really saying is I don't like the way he scores, it's not pretty/versatile enough for me.
right...im sitting here like "the art :why:?"....fukk the art...he puts the ball in the hoop, efficiently at that. This art talk is why Melo so damn overrated. All that best scorer in the league talk for years..never averaged 30, 1 scoring title...he post up good tho :aicmon:
