re: Kobe Bryant > Lebron James

Yes I agree with the subject statement. Kobe is the best in the world still right now imo.

but DAMN!! did anyone see lebron versus the clippers..in the 1st quarter?? Holy shite. I haven't seen anything like that in a long time.

eta: guy was stroking shots from the tip of the center court logo and making 3s falling out of bounds. you really should do yourself a favor and watch the highlights if you haven't seen them from the other night.

ESPN ran a stat about this about a month ago. It went something like Lebron shot around 50% when they were down in the last 30 seconds of a game, and they had the shot to win or tie it. On the flipside, Kobe was at 35-40%. Kobe's coming through when it matters is highly overrated.

Brons been very clutch but Kobe always gets the recognition for this for some reason. The rings play a part, but anyone that's watched Lebron over the last few years knows this is a common misconception.

but its not "not even close"

Nah, it's not close and hasn't been for awhile. Kobe was getting himself back in the argument earlier in the season, although Lebron was still outplaying him. Now it's not close again. Like I posted earlier, it should be nearly impossible for any objective observer to come to any other conclusion. People like you have a ridiculously strong perception bias and ignore the objective evidence (stats) even when it overwhelmingly goes against your belief.

So basically you're holding it against Lebron because he can and WILL drive to the basket, to create an easier shot, and not settle for jumpshots? are you shitting me?

---

if you look at my post before I said he is the most dominate but when it comes to over all game he still is not on 24's level

I would have a SportsCenter clip against the Clippers

100% agree.

and i feel the arguments otherwise are weak. you can throw out all the numbers from this year you want and it doesn't mean shite because of kobe's injury. chalk up some stats pre-injury.


the real argument here is almost silly, think about it, both are legends of basketball, but have complete opposite games.

i heard a fair comparison the other day i think i will stick with:

Both of their games are a form of art, but let's be real, two different types of art, both getting the job done one way or the other.

Lebron is like sculpturist. Uses strength, power, and raw ability to sculpt.

Kobe is like a detailed artist. Who uses experience, craft, and skill to paint.


Lebron uses a jackhammer, kobe uses a fine tipped brush, both create their own masterpieces....



kobe's masterpiece just has a lil more bling to it.....

This thread is chock full of fail.

They still all overwhelmingly favor Lebron. Like I said earlier, ignorance is a large factor in making this non-issue a debate.

yet almost every nba expert or anaylist will tell you kobe is greater.....

LeBron has always had shite for supporting cast, but he makes them look like above average NBA players

You're pretty fricking dumb if you think LeBron's cast these past two years is shite. They're the best defensive team in the league, consistent shooters, and probably play harder on a consistent basis than any other team outside of Houston. You never know what you'll get from Lamar Odom night in and night out, but you know that you'll at least get hustle, rebounding, and defense from some like Varejo on a nightly basis.
