And what is wrong with that? Watching the games gives you infinitely more information than a stat sheet. I didn't choose Kobe to be the best apriori. I've watched basketball since 1997 and he's the best I've seen. The rest of the stuff (stats, titles, awards, etc.) is just superfluous. I make my judgments purely based on what I see. PERIOD.

The mistake you are making is you think you can objectively determine who is the best at basketball based on metrics. The stat sheet is like sparknotes. Its gives you little bits on info on what happened in the game. Sparknotes can never give you the same detail and knowledge reading the book actually does.

Now the counter here would be that we all have different opinions so which one is right? Good point. That is why I try to make sure my opinions and views are in line with what experts in the field think. The experts in basketball when it comes to who can play and who can't are other professional basketball players. So when nearly every NBA players past and present says Kobe is better than LeBron and the best of his era (post-Jordan), I tend to trust my on EYE TEST which told the same thing. Kobe is the best player since Jordan and definitely better than LeBron.

nikka are you legit slow? Attempting a open shyt will never be bad but attempting contested shots when you have open teammates is bad. This is simple logic breh I shouldn't have to explain this to you. Kobe Bryant would have made wayyy more shots if he focused on getting open looks but he didn't. Jordan was masterful at creating open looks. This little side bar debate we're having also has nothing to do with being clutch. Clutchness is actually making the shot breh not the attempts. You argue like a child my man.

When your teammates are struggling to make shots, why pass the ball to them? Chris Mihm. Brian Cook. Lamar Odom. Kwame Brown. Smush Parker. Oh wait. Those are the guys he passed to in game 7 and the Lakers lost and haters said he quit on his team. Is that what you mean by passing to your teammates?

Bron's teams have continually been packed with talent.

The reason his teams haven't been favored by the oddsmakers in years past isn't due to a deficiency in basketball-playing ability of the other members of his teams.

It's because of how Bron Ball negatively impacts the play of everyone else on his squad.

Bron Ball means that talented players are never able to get into any sort of rhythm - how would they when Bron reduces them to spot-up shooters, waiting on the perimeter for his drive-and-kick pass with 3 seconds left on the shot clock?

Bron Ball means that his teams play atrocious defense - by dominating the ball and expending all of his mental and physical energy on offense (in the pursuit of his all-important stat line), Bron abandons his teammates on the other end, leaving them to struggle hopelessly in 4 on 5 matchups.

Bron Ball means that over time, his passive-aggressive, ball-dominating approach inevitably results in unrealistic demands of his spot-up shooting teammates, wearing down morale and the overall team's will to win.

And of course, one of the absolute worst aspects of Bron Ball is how it stifles the development of his teammates.

Bron teams don't practice (as told by the latest victim of Bron Ball, Isaiah Thomas ). Why would they practice when there isn't any offensive system installed? The Cavs offense literally consists of just Bron doing things on the fly.

Well, when Bron isn't in games, his teams (which again, rarely or never practice), have no systematic approach to the game - and regardless of talent level, trying to maintain or extend a lead in the modern NBA without any sort of system installed is a recipe for disaster.

Friends don't let friends play Bron Ball.

Spot on

Bron 16-6 head to head vs kobrick, only stat that matters in the debate

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Yeah and Kobe isn't clutch at all. He isn't afraid of the moment but he has a bad shooting percentage in the clutch. Jordan is clutch. Kobe isn't anywhere near that so I don't know why yall try so hard to put Kobe next to Jordan. Kobe had the skill set but chose to be a ball hog instead who takes bad shots.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

That isnt even the funniest thing he said. Kobes a ball hog?

Too bad Bron couldn't get past GOAT Center Dwight Howard, when he had Kobe waiting on the other end.

What can you expect from a guy that has shot 74% from the Free Throw line for his career

Analytical isn’t the same thing as analytics, retard. This is the kind of shyt I’m talking about, Kobe stans just lack intellect.

Didn’t Bron have you typing in lowercase at one point

Again, not using logic. Pure emotional stannery. You’re probably one of the worst of the bunch because you actually act like you’re reasonable sometimes with your contorted, circular, and confused arguments.

At least the other Stanleys are somewhat unintentionally cognizant of their own stupidity. Hell, one types in all caps and the other doesn’t even understand what’s wrong with being unobjective like a child (and ironically also happens to be a pedophile)
