and you know what? i think kobe is the best player in the league. lebron number 2. please throw out some stats to tell me im wrong. it wont matter.

just watching games over the season i think kobe is better.


that's because you are either stupid or you let an emotional bias cloud your judgement. this is basically what you're saying: "i watch kobe score fewer points while shooting worse, pull in fewer rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals but he just looks better because after missing three in a row he can hit a difficult shot". awesome

i'm only wondering why you're so stubborn about this,


And I'm wondering why you're calling ONLY me out.

Boom supports Kobe in this argument, but I dont see you calling him out, because he is on your side of the argument.

I agree, I've already crowned Kobe as a top 5, probably top 3 GOAT on here.

but when so many, other than on this board, will flat out tell you kobe is better, and you can't even acknowledge it.


What thread are you reading??? And so many people on this board have said Lebron is better, but you won't acknowledge it.

It's pretty much 50/50 on this board, and yet again, why are people acting like it's 90/10 in favor of Kobe???

I just dont see the Kobe guys outnumbering the Lebron guys as bad as you make it out to be.

That's pretty much the way I look at it, and I just don't get it.

No doubt about it.

I do think by the time Kobe is done, his name will fit right in the top 5 discussion though.

When you are talking MJ, Magic, Bird, Russell, Chamberlin,Jabbar, Baylor, Robertson, Dr.J, and so on!!!! It would be hard for ME to put him the top 5!! Just sayin.

people don't like change. kobe has been the consensus best player for so long that i think it's difficult for people, especially people who don't follow the NBA closely, to accept that he's not the best any longer. i suspect that by the end of next season it will pretty much be accepted as fact. kobe has slightly decreased in play every season the last few years while lebron has improved his game. if the disparity between their numbers grows any wider i really don't see how even the biggest kobe fans will be able to argue for him any longer

That's my thinking, especially in regards to the clutch play.

Because, when Lebron came into the league, he did struggle a lot in clutch situations in his 1st year or 2.

AND that was a couple of years after Kobe winning 3 straight titles with the Lakers and having quite a few big time clutch moments.

So, people automatically thought Kobe was MUCH more clutch than Lebron, and at THAT time, they were correct in doing so.

But the past few seasons, Lebron has been more clutch than Kobe. Every possible way of measuring that says so.

why are you such a douche bag?

i like who i want to like a-hole and i know many people would agree with me that kobe is better. FG % does not mean shite when comparing the players because of the different shots they take.

kobe is better than lebron, beasted him this season one on one with a fricked up finger and a flu or whatever he had.

and how about this one...when the U.S. team was in trouble against spain (the only time in the tournament), the ball went to kobe and he hit the clutch shots in the gold medal game. look it up.

i'm simply stating the truth. based on their respective performances this season, the only logical conclusion is that people favoring kobe are either stupid or letting an emotional bias cloud their judgement.

you're free to like whomever you want. liking =/= better though

quote:

scoring is scoring, so why reward a player for scoring in a less efficient manner because you think it's more impressive?

quote:

and lebron "beasted" kobe last season and outperformed him by a wide margin over the course of an 82 game season this year.

eta: lebron is also outperforming him by an even wider margin in the playoffs

Ok, If I conced that, you basically HAVE to concede that Lebron has been more clutch than Kobe this year, and over the past 5 seasons.

The LAKERS have WAY to many weapons compared to the Cavs. PREDICTION.... PHIL JACKSON will let Lebron score all he wants and the Lakers stop the rest. LAKERS in 6.
