Dont waste your time on these clowns op, just put they silly ass on ignore

This nikka dont like facts at all. kobe is closer to Russ, Harden, AI, Dame Lillard in efficiency than he is to MJ Wade LBJ Bird Magic etc...it is what it is tho..idk why he dont want accept that lol

And if that is the case, so what? Why does "efficiency" matter? Last I checked the goal was to win.

And Kobe's style has resulted in a 5-2 finals mark. Pretty damn good. And a lot better than the likes of Wade, LeBron, Bird, and Magic. Guys with less rings or more finals losses.

I'm not even gonna argue with you that Kobe is more efficient than them. I'm just wondering why I should care?

Again look at the numbers i just posted, with context you realize lebrons fg% is that high because he shoots almost 80% from inside 3 feet.


He didnt have a shaq clogging the lane.


Yall really must not know shyt about ball if you cant add that shyt up

if it's so easy to get shots within 3 feet, why didn't Kobe take more of them?

Admit that being able to get to the rim is a fukkin skill in itself.

"Bu bu but lebron fg%"


He didnt have shaq commanding double teams down low and clogging the paint


dudes game is predicated on shooters opening space for him to drive to the hoop. Which inflates his fg% when he shoots 75% from inside 3 feet.


Kobe had to work around shaq, then gasol and bynum.


They cant comprehend this basic ass principle tho. Well, they dont want to comprehend common sense

See my last post son,


If u cant comprehend that Bosh and Love stretch the floor and leave him wide open lanes.....


U need to stop watching basketball

Find the best highlights of John Stockton and White Chocolate.

"Oh, look, White Chocolate has a better highlight video, he must be more skilled then!"


Find the best highlights of Vince Carter and Kevin Garnett.

"Vince Carter's highlights are WAY better, he must have been a better player than Garnett! Better than Duncan too!"


Find the best highlights of Gerald Green and Kevin Durant.

"Damn, look at those dunks! Gerald Green is a legend! Durant is boring, no skill at all!"

Kevin Durant is one of the most skilled players in NBA history. What kind of dumb shyt is this?

No one in here is arguing that dunking or great athletic highlights makes you better than someone else. Kobe's greatness lies in his technical skill. He did moves and had combinations of moves no one has ever done or even attempted. His footwork was sublime. His post moves were sublime. His ability to create space to get of his jump shot was sublime. These are the things we talk about when we talk about his insane skill level. We're not talking about SportsCenter highlights or dunks dummy.

Go outside and actually pick up a basketball rather than having your head buried in some math equations. You might learn a little something about the game then cause this post was simply RETARDED.

It is. And LeBron is arguably the best ever at it. But at the end of the games its much harder to do. That is why most game winners are contested jump shots. Or why in crunch time its the team that hits more contested mid-range jump shots that wins. Because against elite teams in the big moments, those types of shots art the rim aren't available. Usually its those contested jump shots that are available.

And that is why Kobe's teams won more titles than LeBron's teams. Because LeBron's style while great in the regular season and against weak teams can get exposed.

he averaged 31.4 on 48% shooting. He averaged 30 on 48.4% shooting and 29.7 on 50% shooting. Before ever playing with Bosh or Klove btw. Kobe's highest FG% is 46.9%, with Shaq.

Lebron fans stay posting alternative facts

Lebron has hit more clutch shots and game winners than Kobe in the playoffs, and on a better percentage. It's hard to hit game winners period, especially if you're the star player because teams expect you to have the ball in your hands and shift the defensive attention towards you.

Anyways simpleton, i already posted all the numbers. Keep regurgitating the same post over and over, and saying absolutely nothing new.

Ive already proven my point, u just said the same shyt again.


Now bye, ignored

 

[High quality poster]

Truly some fatherless shyt going on in this thread


The man started a highlight thread about a players actual skill and nikkas is tahm bout fg%

Lebron fans truly the scum of the earth

 

[Professor Emeritus]

9/20 = 45%
10/20 = 50%

I don't see much difference.

What I do see a big difference in is the ring count.

5-2>>> 3-5

At the end of the day its about winning. And Kobe's style whatever we want to think of it was more EFFICIENT at winning championships than LeBron's style. The proof is in the finals win/loss record.

Literally DAYS ago you were claiming that ring count don't matter, only eye test matter, and said that Hakeem >>> Duncan even though Duncan has five rings and Hakeem only has two.

There's a good chance Scottie would have been Finals MVP too (it would have most likely been either him or Sheed). That means that Kobestan would have lost their last reason for explaining why all five of Kobe's rings "count" but none of Pippen's six rings do.

When the hell have I ever said this? I judge players solely by the eye test. That is why my top 4 all-time is: Kobe, Jordan, Hakeem, and Shaq in that order.

Rings ain't got shyt to do with my rankings. Neither do stats. Nor do accolades.

Then three days later he's saying, "But the rings are the proof!" again.

Because in the big games in the playoffs and finals when its late in the 4th and nobody is gonna let you get easy shots at the rim, you're gonna need to be able to hit those "bad" shots.

Except that Lebron's playoffs and finals and late in the 4th numbers are all way better than Kobe's too.

There is a reason Kobe is 5-2 in the finals while LeBron is 3-5. Kobe's style is more conducive to winning championships because against the best teams and in the most critical moments "good" shots are rarely available. What is typically available are one on one situations with a hand in your face taking a contested jump shot. That is why Kobe played the way he did. It helped prepare him for those gotta have it moments in critical games.

LeBron on the other hand typically just stands around watching Kyrie try to score in those moments because his one on one skill set is weak.

No, Kobe is 5-2 in the Finals because he had a Shaq to lead the way. Kobe's shooting is WORSE in the Finals. If his technique was conducive to Finals, he wouldn't have shot around 40% in five of his seven trips there.

And when the game is on the line or we are in those critical moments in the 4th quarter, those shots inside the paint are typically not available. What is available are typically those highly contested mid-range jump shots. Those "bad" shots these idiots are talking about. Its those "bad" shots that win championships.

So why is Lebron 8-23 on game-winning shots in the playoffs, while Kobe only 7-28 even though he had a longer career?
