Career: LeBron James 33.7% Kobe Bryant 33.6%. Season high: LeBron James 40.6% (2013) Kobe Bryant 38.6% (2003) --

haha how has kobe been guarded all his career and how has lebron? u saw the finals rite?

 

[dh86]

lol@lebron bein a better defender than kobe in his prime. thats where i stopped.


do you really think lebron could win a ring with pau as a second option? be foreal now.

Would Kobe have made the playoffs with Boobie Gibson and Big Z? Sure didnt with a more talented 2005 Lakers.

Thats LeBron's problem, how?

 

[Hersh]

Thats LeBron's problem, how?

do u think kobes % remain the same he teams guarded him like they do bron?

 

[Bilz]

do u think kobes % remain the same he teams guarded him like they do bron?

So shouldn't we also be giving LeBron credit for all of the extra dunks and assists he would be getting if he was guarded like Kobe is?

he was injured in 2005 but in 2006 wen he was healthy made playoffs in a tougher WC with a team MUCH worse than brons team

brons 3rd option = kobes 2nd option

Pau Gasol Stats - Los Angeles Lakers - ESPN


PAU memphis years (1st option)

02 -17.6pts
03 - 19.0
04 - 17.7
05 - 17.8
06 - 20.4
07 - 20.8

BOSH - Toronto yrs (1st option)

05 - 16.8pts
06 - 22.5
07 - 22.6
08 - 22.3
09 - 22.7
10 - 24.0

.



GASOL as the 2nd OPTION on the LAKERS = Bronze 3rd option on the HEAT


GASOL - Laker Yrs (2nd option)

08- 18.8
09- 18.9
10- 18.3
11- 18.8
12- 17.4
13- 13.7


Bosh - bronze years (3rd option)

11- 18.7pts
12- 18.0
13- 16.6






so would bron win a ring with bosh or gasol as his 2nd option? CAN he win a championship without wade? fact is KOBE won with the equivelant of chris bosh brons 3rd option as his 2nd option... he didnt have a WADE(arguably top 5 SG of all time) type player to save him/

Actually Kobe shot 45% from the field that year. Kobe Bean Bryant is a “shooting” guard. For a “shooting” guard that’s a good percentage. Now LeBron James is a point forward (small forward). Therefore he is asked to go into the paint more often to score. As a point forward he is asked to run the floor and score at will when he gets the ball on the break. Correspondingly, LeBron is going to have a higher field-goal percentage.

exactly...it's like if we compared lebron's fg% to the top centers of all time and said "LOOK GUYS, HE'S NOT AS GOOD, LOOK AT THE FG%!!"...LOL


but it's the only argument they have, so they abuse that shiet like this cracka fukkin this horse up

 

[Goatpoacher]

he was injured in 2005 but in 2006 wen he was healthy made playoffs in a tougher WC with a team MUCH worse than brons team

Still spreading this bit of false information? When kobe was injured, the lakers were in the 8th spot (at least) When he came back from injury, the lakers lost like 18-21 to end the season.

Odom was injured, not CHOKEY.

Wins more:

better stroke:


better 3 point shooter:
Career: LeBron James 33.7% Kobe Bryant 33.6%. Season high: LeBron James 40.6% (2013) Kobe Bryant 38.6% (2003)

better mid range jumper:
LeBron James 2013 41.7% Kobe Bryant 2010 42.5%

better basketball iq
LeBron top 10 in turnovers 9 times, top 10 in assists 6 times. Kobe Bryant top 10 in turnovers 9 times, top 10 in assists 0 times. LeBron James, career 49% from the field, Kobe Bryant career 45.5%.

better footwork

LeBron James career 1.9 personal fouls for career. Career low 1.4 (2013)
Kobe Bryant career 2.6 personal fouls. Career low 1.4 (1997, as Eddie Jones backup of course)

better post game

LeBron James- 75.6% FG at rim (2013) Kobe Bryant 69.3 %FG (2013)

better handles

LeBron James career 6.9 ast per game, good for 28th all time average. Kobe Bryant, 4.8 ast per game. Also see turnovers.

better defender

LeBron has more steals and blocks per game on less personal fouls. Kobe ran away from guarding Pierce or Allen in 2008, so we really have to dial in on "prime defense" Kobe. Yeah. No guarding Derrick Rose for him. No no.

better leader

Last 3 seasons with LeBron James Cavs-69.9% winning percentage
Last 3 seaons without LeBron James- 27.8 winning percentage

Last 3 seasons without LeBron James-Heat 42.6% winning percentage
Last 3 seasons with LeBron James- 73.9 winning percentage

Making for a 69.5 winning percentage over the last 6 years. Making for a better winning % than Kobe's 67.6% win percentage for the seasons with Pau Gasol, and of course his 49.1 win % as his teams best player pre Gasol. LeBron has never missed the playoffs in his prime, as Kobe did in 2005 at age 27. Leadership.

Glad you didnt say Kobes a better scorer

Youngest player to score 20,000 points: (29 years, 122 days)[56]
Surpassed by LeBron James (28 years, 17 days) on January 16, 2013.[57]
Chamberlain (29 years, 134 days),[56] Michael Jordan (29 years, 326 days),[58] Bryant, and James are the only four players to reach the milestone under the age of 30.
Youngest player to score 18,000 points: (28 years, 156 days)
Surpassed by LeBron James (27 years, 35 days) on February 3, 2012.
Youngest player to score 15,000 points: (27 years, 136 days)[59]

Surpassed by LeBron James (23 years, 59 days) on February 27, 2008[62]

Way more clutch:

Kobe Bryant 7/27 in playoff game winners. LeBron James 6/14. LeBron James is the NBA all time leader in points per game in Elimination games, Facing elimination games and Game 7. He of course outclasses Kobe's playoff numbers as well as stated in a previous post.

bring up all the stats u want, you'd have to be a complete idiot to claim lebron is anywhere near as good a shooter as kobe, or has anywhere close to the same fundamental skill and footwork.....at this point, ur either trollin or are a typical casual basketball fan who has never even played an organized game of ball in his life and probably doesnt even watch games in their entirety...espn highlights are a muthafukka tho!

 

[Sccit]

Would Kobe have made the playoffs with Big Z?

kobe made the playoffs and pushed a 2nd seeded suns team (who woulda swept any of lebrons cav teams) to a 7 game series....with a starting line-up consisting of luke walton-smush parker-kwame brown....LOL!

What's the point of arguing that bullshyt? The goal is to put the ball in the basket and LeBron does it better and more efficiently than Kobe. Basketball isn't a sport that has a qualifier for style or difficulty.

Im sorry you think it's unfair that LeBron is bigger, faster, and stronger and that Kobe has to make impossible fadeaways just to come close to him but fukk it,
