Kevin Durant is better then Kobe ever was true or false?

[Remote]

LEBRON ISNT GUARDED OUTSIDE OF THREE FEET, WEIRDO

DEANDRE JORDAN IS MORE EFFICIENT THAN YOUR HERO

SO I GUESS WE NEED TO STOP GRADING LEBRON ON A CURVE AND CONCEDE DEADRE>LEBRON ACCORDING TO YOUR BRILLIANT IDEOLOGY

You’re just making shyt up.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

But I made that point already, I said Jordan was able to tap into his zone far more often than Kobe, as well as just being more efficient.

But if you give both of them that zone for 48 minutes Kobe is more deadly scoring, Kobe in a zone is hitting Curry like 3s, posting you up, getting to the rim, dunking on you etc.

I want the answer. How many times in 37 Finals game did Kobe hit that "better than Jordan" zone you speak of?

Because if this amazing "zone" is something that only happens 1 in 20 games or even less, then not only is it basically meaningless, it might just be random variance. Does Kobe have a 6-24 game for each time he hit a 16-24 game?

They're delusional. They constantly claim Kobe won 5 rings playing his way but Kobe never won shyt playing his way. Even the 3-1 lead on the Suns was achieved by him feeding the post like a motherfukker.

Lakers always won with rebounding and inside scoring. Thats why all of Kobe's highlights and scoring binges are from regular season games.

 

[CurrencyChase]

hell no. Kobe not seeing Lebron but to say Durant is better than him is laughable.

 

[ISO]

Durant averaged 30 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block in the 2012 Finals

at 23 years old (Durant played MUCH better than LeBron did in the 07 Finals at 23)

But in LeBron Stan world he got embarrassed

Durant didn’t get embarrassed but this is a trash ass point. LeBron 07 Cavs team was fukking trash, Durant not putting up those numbers in that situation going against the Spurs. Also, Bron was 22.

Not the nikka you want to depend on to handle the ball unless his team is fully loaded and we don't acknowledge lockout years over here


% of KD's offense that was assisted by year:
08 - 59 %
09 - 57 %
10 - 52 %
11 - 62 %
12 - 48 %
13 - 52 %
14 - 47 %
15 - 55 %
16 - 55 %
17 - 62 %
18 - 57 %


KD is a hell of an off ball player (which inflates efficiency) and GOOD not GREAT ISO player. For comparison, Kobe was in the 35-45 % range in terms of assisted offense.
But you new nikkas must be on angel dust if you think this is close when talking offensive anchors


Don't bring up defense when most of yall were shytting on his D in @Malta DPOY thread

We really holding KD’s off-ball play against him? He’s a tremendous off-ball and isolation scorer. He’s a 7 footer with handles, limitless range, unstoppable finisher at the rim, knock down FT shooter, midpost and triple threat skills.

He has four scoring titles and yes he is a better offensive anchor than Kobe. He is elite on and off the ball, a better shooter, a better finisher at the rim, and a better decision maker Durant’s passing out of double teams is excellent. Durant’s skillset is more conducive to anchoring an elite offense.

You posting Durant’s bad games like people can’t post wild Kobe 6 of 24 games and games where he takes 40 shots.

KD don’t need to be assisted but that’s the different between a volume shooter like Kobe and a knock down shooter like KD.

Don’t say KD’s productivity is teammate dependent with a green light and no Westbrook he carried OKC, if he wanted to chuck like Kobe he could put up stupid numbers.

Yea because Kobe wasn’t the third highest playoff scorer untill lebron surpasses him last year, or that 2001,2002,2009,2010 finals didn’t happen

Also, not many players have scored in the finals like they do in the regular season. A regular season is 82 games, the finals is 4-7 games

Yep in the context of this argument its a negative and until I see him win big as an offensive anchor while producing 60%> offense then this isnt a conversation for me.

 

[Sccit]

No, you just don't understand math. Deandre Jordan has a high fg percentage because he doesn't create shots. If you try to get him 20 shots a game, that shyt isn't working.

Defenses give LeBron room to shoot because they can't stay in front of him otherwise. With Kobe, they could play up on him knowing that he'd usually accept it as a challenge. LeBron would be unstoppable if they guarded him the way they guarded Kobe.

LMAO @ LEBRON BEING UNSTOPPABLE IF HE WAS DOUBLE AND TRIPLED ON THE PERIMETER ALA PRIME KOBE

 

[Sccit]

You’re just making shyt up.

WE ALL REMEMBER THE 2014 FINALS WHERE DIAW WAS GUARDING LEBRON 1 ON 1 WIT A 5 FOOT CUSHION, RAUL

You basically penalizing Durant for being a vastly better shooter than Bryant

That’s why KD has more assisted baskets because he is elite in C&S and as an off-ball cutter

KD with a green light like Jan 2014 and the right pieces around him could easily do what you saying.

I BET @The Dankster CRIED AND DOWNED A BOTTLE OF SCOTCH ALONE IN HIS 1 BEDROOM APARTMENT THE NIGHT KOBE WON HIS OSCAR

I THINK ITS MORE TO DO WIT DURANT NOT BEING CLOSE TO THE SHOT CREATOR KOBE IS, BUT OK

 

[Poitier]

Nope shots off the dribble > shots off the catch in the context of what you want from your anchor

Durant has more assisted shots 1. Because of the privilege of playing with other elite ballhandlers 2. Being too turnover prone with increased on ball volume
