Yeah, I'm the problem here.
If you remove all the games where kobe shot under 50 percent, he is shooting well above 50 percent!
Prime Kobe >>>>> Prime LeBron

YOU'VE CALLED KOBE A "VOLUME SHOOTER", "AVERAGE", "SUB-PAR DEFENDER IN HIS PRIME" AND THATS JUST OFF TOP.....DO U REALLY THINK U DESERVE AN ACCOUNT ON THE-COLI?

You should put it to a vote.
BTW, Kobe is a volume shooter and a sub-par defender, and he leads the following categories
1. MOst missed shots in a game
2. Most missed shots in the playoffs
3. Most failed attempts at a 73-9 record with 3 other hall of famers (twice!)
4 (He will soon if not already) have the most missed shots for the regular season too.
I didnt mean Philly....I meant Ardmore
I had dissed Philly about the nasty cheesesteaks with ketchup on it, edited it, and meant to put:
Aint no First 48's being filmed in Ardmore
That's where Lower Merion HS is aint it?
But fukk Philly anyways
Yall dissed the GAWD in the NBA Finals and the All-Star game....even made him shed a tear
Yall dont deserve to even have him as a rep from Philly
He didn't sign w/ the Sixers, after workin' out for them, and chooses to ring-chase and sign w/ Los Angeles instead of the hometown team (from a Philly perspective), says he's never been a Sixers fan, has never really claimed Philly, instead of takin' the respectful approach, he says he's gonna rip the hearts outta the same fans that cheered Michael Irvin bein' carried out on a stretcher and snowballed Santa Claus 
, and is a Mets fan . All it took was a humble praise to the city that raised him, and he decides to talk shyt 
he brought it upon himself 
Nikka, you are literally arguing that being a nicer scorer is a flaw because hut means he has less range.
How about you argue this..
Lebron scores 4 less points on 7 less shots, averages 8.6 assists to Kobe's 4.5, and averages more rebounds.
So Kobe has to shoot the ball SEVEN more times to get 4 more points yet this a knock against Lebron?
Lebron is arguably as effective at scoring, more efficient, and better at PASSING, PLAYMAKING, REBOUNDING, DEFENDING, and still only averages 4 points less than Kobe in his prime.
You're literally arguing that 35(45%)/4.5ast/5.3rebs is a more impressive stat line than 30(50.3)/8.6ast/7.3rebs.
You're literally arguing that taking 27 shots to score 35 PPG is a better scoring performance than taking 20 shots to score 30.
Again, would you take AI over Magic Johnson?
Lebron is more versatile, more all-around dominant, more effective, and he's still just as efficient at putting the ball in the basket.
And just to hammer the point home, which one of these starlings is more impressive?
27.9(49.1%)/5.1ast/6.3rebs or 30.3(50%)/5.6ast/9.7rebs.
Former is Prime Kobe in the playoffs, latter is Prime Lebron.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOME1 PLEASE BAN THIS IDIOT....AT LEAST FROM THE SPORTS SECTION
LEMME KNOW ME WHEN LEBRON SEES DOUBLE AND TRIPLE TEAMS LIKE KOBE....
LEBRON IS A STAT-PADDER. THATS WHY HIS FANS THINK HIM SCORING 30 EMPTY POINTS IS SOMETHING AMAZING. THEY DONT ACTUALLY WATCH GAMES. THIS IS ALSO WHY SOMEONE WHO AVERAGES 30 POINTS IN THE REGULAR SEASON CAN GO 3 STRAIGHT FINALS GAMES SCORING UNDER 20....BECAUSE IN REALITY, HE'S NOT EVEN A GREAT SCORER. HE'S A GOOD SCORER WHO PADS HIS STATS AND IS GIVEN A 5 FOOT CUSHION ON DEFENSE. IF KOBE OR MJ WERE GUARDED LIKE LEBRON, THEY'D AVERAGE 50 PPG, AND THATS REAL SHIET.
Oh, and before anyone tries to argue that Lebron played against weaker teams in the East that post-season (11-12), every single team he played were above average defensively and the Pacers and Celtics were top-tier defensive teams.
I'll wait for this Kobe nuthugger to tell me that efficiency is a flaw though and shooting 7 more times to score 5 more PPG is a plus for Kone.

Kobes Two Jerseys
8 or 24 best player of the era
where's the part where it says he forced his way to LA?Talking about watching games yet you fail to realize that Lebron wasn't seeing hard doubles and triples like Kobe because he's a much better passer and has better court vision.
Lebron can score 30 points on 20 shots because he's a statpadder but Kobe shoots the ball 7 more times to score 5 extra points but Lebron is the statpadder.
Lebron isn't a good scorer but he demolished the Pacer defense which was a top-ranked defensive team in the league, carved up the Pacers and Celtics last year which were top-ranked defensive teams in the league but he's not a good scorer.
Lebron is a statpadder yet in all the seasons that I'm comparing to Prime Kobe, he was able to outperform him drastically despite playing less minutes than Kobe did.
Again, Kobe can't be guarded like Lebron because Lebron is a PG in a PF body with SG quickness. If players guarded Lebron like they did Kobe, Lebron would blow right by them and feast in the paint like he always does. Ask Paul George.
If teams sent doubles or triples like they did Kobe, Lebron is gonna average double digit assists because he's a great passer with great court vision. So if Lebron wa guarded like Kobe, he'd average double digit assists over a season and score like 35 from living in the paint.
See? I can use baseless assumptions too.
Nikka, go sit down somewhere. You can't see me in basketball knowledge, lame. Facts, stats, performances, and everything disagree with you. You're biased, ignorant, and probably haven't watched Lebron play except when was regularly waxing that Laker ass.
Sit the fukk down and let someone else try. You starting to bore me, peasant, and that is not cool.
Probably because Kawhi Leanord and Tim Duncan are an amazingly solid combination of perimeter defender and rim protection with Tim Duncan being one of the greatest defensive anchors of all time who was constantly shadowing Lebron on the floor to contest every single drive he did.
It's the same reason Lebron averaged ten assists because he saw that the entire defensive set of the Spurs was focused on stopping him.
Besides, series aren't decided in 3 games so why does it matter how he performed in just 3? Lebron realized he needed to carry a bigger load offensively and proceeded to drop 4 games of 25 points or more when the stakes got higher and dropped 37 in game 7 which was the most important game of the series.
Lebron scores as he's needed. Lebron is just fine scoring 18 points and dropping 16 assists if it got them the win.
See, Lebron understands that shooting isn't the only way to positively effect the game. That's why he's a better all-around player than Kobe who can score like him if he needs too.
LeBron is from the projects though......Kobe is from the Burbs
the ignorance at public schools >>>> private schools.
Bron was riding his bike around looking for basketball games....the fact it ain't got stolen says something. The fact his hummer outside the project ain't get stolen says something. Lack of money does to equate to the ignorance. Ain't sayin living in the projects is sweet.....but I think he just had a broke environment instead of a killer environment. Maybe it was just public housing in a regular apartment.

You're throwing Shaq's name out there like he was some bum. Shaq in his prime was completely unstoppable.
