So now a big game the series before wipes away a terrible finals? Posting like this explains your rep. So what about the 2004, 2008, and 2010 finals where he shot 38%, 40%, and 40% including a 6-24 game in game 7 with 3 assists to 5 turnovers? You're going to tell me he played well in those too I assume. Bryant shot mediocre in game 1 of the 2000 finals before turning his ankle anyway.


Oh, so now we're using FG%'s again to hate on Kobe......but LeBron's FG% doesnt matter right?:mjpls:



What about the fact that with 2 HOFers in the starting lineup, LeBron only managed to break even in NBA Finals appearances while without them, he's won a grand total of 2 NBA Finals games out of 8 tries?:sas1:



Can we disuss that fact too?:sas2:

The lakers won a title with Shaq averaging more rebounds than Kobe did points and shooting better at the foul line in one of his worst series at the line than Kobe did from the field. Those lakers went as Shaq went.

Playoff Stats for Kobe during 3 peat

21/4.5/4

29/7/6

26/6/4.5

Not to mention without him averaging 35+ on the Kings and Spurs..Lakers wouldn't be as successful. After the first year tite, they were 1 & 1a :manny:

The only losses Lebron has to be criticized for is the Dallas one and last years. This finals, he really showed he is top 5 of all time.

However that Dallas series he really shoild have won and had he played the way he played this year, he would have won it.

Anyways, losses in the finals doesn't matter too much imo, how many players has made it to that many finals being the #1 on the top. Only a select few. It's a tough league and you cant expect him to win every year.

He's been to 5 straight finals, and 6 in total. And he's been in the league since 2003...so do the math. And I'm no Lebron fan, but I'm sick of reading about the hate he gets. He really is a special player and will be missed once he retires.

Agree with everything you said.

Except I don't blame him for last years either...NOBODY beats that Spurs team the way they shot the ball.

NOBODY

Damn, Bron is 30 years old. People are acting like his window is closed or something. If the Cavs stay healthy next season, they can bulldoze their way back into the finals next year, maybe reduce Bron to 36 mins a game to preserve him and upgrade from Shumpert and they are as good a squad as any.

nikka just called 4 of the greatest EVER to live losers. I quit, I fukking quit. :dead:

The genie is out the bottle now. The Cowherd's/Greenie's/Rome's of the world make it easy for cats to quantify greatness when they don't know much. Robert Horry has 6, but it'll be a cold day in hell before I pick him over Barkley or Malone. He'd pick them over him too if he was being honest.

I only seen 3 of the greatest ever up there. Lbron doesn't make that cut.

Seriously. All trolling and stannery aside. How can you not consider Bron one of the all time greats? All time greats meaning top 15?
