Prime Kobe >>>>> Prime LeBron
- Thread starter Malik
- Start date
very simple minded analysis from someone who obviously has never played sports
actually it is
thats like bron goes 10/20 and kobe goes 9/20
when you factor in kobe taking the tough shots at the end of the shot clock while lebron passes it to a teammate so they take the fg% hit, then what does the extra 1 shot made over 20 attempts really mean?
thats not even factoring in the boosted efficiency from fast break buckets and wide open jumpers. you cant compare the 2 as scorers in a half court set.
you stat nerds gotta start watching and understanding games.
Again, that efficiency is relative to the amount of shots they take. Kobe scores 45% on 27 attempts to score 35 PPG.
Lebron does 50.3% on 20 attempts and averages 30 PPG. Lebron gets cushion on his jumper because he's a GOAT-tier finisher at the rim and blows by 90% of the people who can play him up close. Kobe isn't as nearly as good around the rim so he people play him to take away his jumper.
Lebron is at his most dangerous when he's moving because he has great court vision, body control, finishing ability, and he'a a great passer. Defenders can't cheat because he'll hit a pass with pinpoint accuracy the second you try to rotate to stop him. By playing him for his jumper, which is less deadly, it gives him less options offensively to work with while taking away the risk of his teammates warming up, getting bigs or players into foul trouble, opening up the 3 point shot, etc.
And how is Lebron being ungodly fast on the break and almost unstoppable in transition a FLAW in his game? That's ****ing stupid.
Again, Lebron averages a whopping 5 less points on 7 less attempts despite the fact that he's not as versatile or polished at scoring as Kobe so he's still just as effective an offensive player despite not being as good a scorer.
How is the fact that Lebron takes smarter shots to score just as much as Kobe a flaw?

Let's compare fg% instead.
Lebron 49%
Kobe 45%
Is it close?
You're really comparing a relative measure, percentage, to an absolute number, scoring? You kobestans are such adorable retards.
Why compare as starters? It's not Lebrons fault kobe wasn't good enough to start. This is another example of why Lebron is just better.

How could Eddie Jones be benched in the mid 90's for someone not named MJ?
Eddie Jones had only been in the league 2yrs by time Kobe got there so he was a young talent as well!

8 or 24 best player of the era
Uh, I know its close. I was waiting for the Bron Stan to say it isn't.

And he did!
Here's an absolute comparison. Is 2-2 finals record with 10 wins and 12 losses better than 5-2 finals record with 20 wins and 15 losses?

Well then, let's adjust our rankings accordingly
DUncan > Wade > Kobe > Lebron
Lebron's best season is 31.4 ppg 7.0 rpg and 6.6 apg game
Kobe's is 35.4 ppg 5.3 rpg and 4.5 apg.
So 4ppg game is "not even close" ?
Now compare their worst seasons...
No, it's not close...... 4 points is the difference between 16 ppg (a serviceable player) and 20 ppg (all-star caliber). It may not look like a big difference when u reach the 30s, but it is.
And comparing their worst seasons makes no sense as we're talking prime for prime.. Kobe plays for the greatest franchise of all time, had to work his way up to greatness, and had to take the keys to the franchise with his incredible will. LeBron was drafted to the shyttiest franchise and was handed everything from day 1 because he was a physical specimen..... Real Gs fux wit Kobe.
Who cares if it's higher percentage or not? More points is more points and 30 ppg and 35 ppg is an incredible difference. Like I keep saying, shaq scored just a tad less than Michael but was a lot more efficient.. Does that mean shaq is a better scorer? lmao.. And don't bring up that retarded Brook Lopez analogy either lol smh

MOre kobestan brilliance!
When we are talking 16ppg vs 20ppg, that's a relative difference of what?
31 ppg vs 35 ppg is a relative difference of what? To top it off, you have another goofball who's taking percentage measures as whole numbers. You are doing the complete opposite
Guess what, you're both stupid.
And LeBron is a pass first player lol.. Kobe is a shooting guard. SHOOTING guard. Comparing them and saying LeBron is better cuz he gets more assists is about as retarded as saying Shaq is better than Michael Jordan cuz he got more rebounds... U can do better, brobro
