List of 50 win teams Kobe & LeBron have defeated in the playoffs

[street heat]

uhm, kobe plays in the west so there is more opportunity to play 50 win teams.

what a dumb stat. replace lebron with kobe on any cav team and tell me they wouldve been just as good

thats kinda the point. Kobe has always faced tougher competition then LeBron thoughout the playoffs, by a large margin

Haters never dealt with facts very well. It's why they play the "What if" game so often.

no, its trying to make it sound like lebron has just failed to beat many good teams. like hes played them, he just doesnt win.

lebron >>>>>> kobe

so you saying Kobe's road to a championship was tougher? yet, he still did it with less help than Lebron?

Spoiler

before you reply with the Shaq auto-denial-defense. What about from 08-10 when kobe had healthier knees?

Spoiler

Before you got into the last grasp denial-auto-defense. Bynum was injured throughout those championship runs and Gasol had never made an all-nba team before playing with kobe

Spoiler

Derek Fisher, called the worst Starting point guard by advanced stats guy was his starting PG

 

[G-Zeus]

Funk can lebron do about this? Seed lower so he plays 50 wins teams only?
Stupid stats.. It doesn't depend on the player but the other teams seeding

 

[Sccit]

GOOD LIST....

 

[Yayo Toure]

I wonder how many of these 30-5-5 games have come against decent teams. Lebron out here feasting on NCAA worthy teams.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

Shaq was responsible for most of Kobe's on this list

Do you even realize that before Kobe, Shaq had beaten just one 50 win team?

Lmao @ adding "NBA Finals" and "NBA Championships" to make Kobe's list look more impressive


Kobe fans are pathetic.

Yeah, that was some pathetic stupid shyt. Added that to Kobe's list but not Lebron's, just so Kobe's list looks longer?

What are the other 9??

2. He also wrote out the years differently on the two lists so Kobe's list looks bigger.
3. Most of the teams Kobe beat were when Shaq was the leader, not Kobe
4. Kobe's had much better teams than Lebron, especially coaching
5. Lebron's hasn't even finished his 12th season, Kobe has 19
6. 50 is a completely artificial number. Kobe's beaten a lot of teams that just barely got 50 wins - if the cutoff was "51" instead, Kobe's list would be 5-6 shorter
7. Why is beating a 50-win team even impressive? Why not, say, 55-win team? Since 2004 when Shaq left, Kobe's only beaten two 55-win teams, while Lebron has beaten five.
8. Lebron's most dominant year was a lockout year, so teams only played 66 games. If they had played a full schedule, both Indiana and OKC would have been 50-win teams that year (possibly Boston too because they got hot late), so that's more teams that should be on Lebron's list.
9. Lebron's already beaten another 60-win team (Atlanta) since this list was made. And is facing another one right now.
10. Magic didn't beat many 50-win teams in his career either, but Laker fans literally never bring that up.

Kobe played with Shaq for 14 wins and without Shaq for 10. Either way it's more than Brons 6

Add in the lockout year and the teams Lebron just beat, and Kobe/Lebrons post-2004 lists are basically the same. And that's with Kobe beating a bunch of barely-50 teams - make the list "55-win teams" instead, and Lebron beats post-Shaq Kobe 5 to 2 in the same time frame.

Lebron beat 4 50 win teams in his four years with Miami, east is historically boo-boo. This wI'll be Brons most impressive playoff run of his career if he wins the title this year, hands down

You're not counting the lockout year. That doesn't change that this year is fukking impressive too.
