Lebron passed Kobe as the youngest ever to score 29K points
The large majority of times that Kobe has scored 50+, it's because he put up 33 or more shots.
And Kobe put up 33 or more shots over fifty times in his career. Hell, nearly half those games he had 37+
Lebron has only put up 33 shots thirteen times his whole career. And he has NEVER put up 37 shots in a regular season game.
That's why every damn one of Lebron's 50pt games has come on 50% shooting or better. Usually way better.
He ain't out there volume shooting his way to no fukking "17-41", "19-44", "22-50" type fifty-point games.
Give Lebron 20+ tries taking damn near 40 shots in a fukking regular season game, how many of those WOULDN'T be 50-point games?

He scored 81 on 46 shots.If he never played with prime Shaq he'd have 40K in the bank but 2 rings. All Kobe stans care about is ring count so wouldn't this knock him down a notch?
On 50 shotshe better had scored 60

A corny dude is gonna respond with "ifs"scenarios and talk about efficiency. Which makes no difference."In year 15+"

That's the part of it that the Kobestans always refused to acknowledge. Ignoring shot attempts in individual scoring games is just like ignoring longevity in the all time leader discussions. David Robinson and Devin Booker showed how easy it is to just gun and have a game for the record books.The large majority of times that Kobe has scored 50+, it's because he put up 33 or more shots.

Man this who Shaw carried Kobe shyt is played out. It's 2017 and dudes still screaming that b.s. At the end of the day Kobe needed Shaq just like Shaq needed Kobe doing the three-peat. Was Shaq the number one option? Of course. But you got dudes acting like Kobe was some 9.6 PPG scrub or something.

At that point in time and against that east Shaq really didn’t need much help at all. His worst statline from the three championships he won in Los Angeles were averages of 33/15.8/4.8/0.4/3.4 shooting 57% from the field and taking 15 free throws per game. Mind you this was with the defensive player of the year guarding him.

But if he wouldn't have got to the Finals without Kobe. That's why I said they both needed each other. Yeah Shaq feasted in the Finals but would he he have got there of Kobe wasn't playing out of his mind in those WCF's?
As long as you devolve into pure ring-counting for guys who weren't even leading their team, you gonna have people bringing up context.
If you admit that Shaq can't have all the credit for the ring, then you admitting that ring-counting is stupid because you don't get a ring on your own.

I'm not. Kobe-Stan or Bron-stan so the ring argument is stupid just like the Shaq carried Kobe argument is stupid. I have no problem giving both plays their props because they are two of the greatest players ever.
Personally I'm not impressed by players having high scoring games every now and then. What's impressive to me are things like impact (winning games and rings), efficiency and consistency and LeBron,as much I dislike him, meets all the criteria.
At this point Kobe is no longer in the same discussion as him. Lebrons's mates are Jordan,Kareem and Magic. Although he still has a long way to go if he wants to surpass the former two (he's already surpassed magic imo)
