stilldatshyt still one of the worst posters in existence

Him and malc are neck and neck

It's not idiotic. Though I've seen this muddled logic before so I understand what he's saying. He's saying that when both are dedicated and making a concerted effort, that Kobe is a better rebounder than Durant. Jeff Van Gundy said something similar about Kobe in the past about how he always gets great positioning and has great anticipation in crucial moments. The thing is, Kobe never dedicates himself to getting boards. He has always leaked out after a made or missed shot.

I would actually rather have Kobe than Durant is I needed 1 more to seal a game. He just gets better position. But the whole position argument isn't that sensible that WIll is trying to make. Dude is clearly Cashville Tyrant with an alias.

- which is stupid how do we even determine that dumb shyt

- durant has clearly not dedicated himself to the boards this series

-yea ok

Andrea averages less rebounds per game in his career than Kobe, so nope.


Anymore names?

yes explain to me how Keith Van Horn is a better rebounder than Jason Kidd..I need an answer..I need wan one you muthafukkas to type "Keith Van Horn is a better rebounder pound-for-pound than Jason Kidd"

 

[Absolut]

if i watch games, and see durant average more rebounds, its pretty clear to me at that point that durant is the better rebounder. when they come up with "rebounds per pound" lemme know. van horn snatched more bouards than kidd. what is hard to understand about that?

-yea ok

I know KD hasn't. I was interpreting. Why you mad at me?

quit putting bullshyt lies in my mouth

I aint never said shyt about Kobe being a better rebounder than LeBron...all I said was if you watch games is obvious Kobe is a better rebounder than Kevin Durant, who is a sub-par rebounder for his position..whereas Kobe is an exceptional rebounder for his poistion...which means pound-for-pound Kobe is the better rebounder...

somebody understands

I know you think that saying this is clever and makes you bright but it really doesn't. That's like saying I see that one guy averages more yards per completion, thus he's a better passer. It doesn't work that way. Context is always important. But it's very difficult to do that with rebounding. Averaging more boards per game is usually a sound barometer but it's not dispositive. MJ wasn't a worse rebounder when he started getting less boards and focusing on other things. Nor was he a worse passer when he started averaging less assists. Kobe wasn't a worse scorer when he average 32 instead of 35 from the year before.

He's wrong. But it's not THAT simple.

@ Pound for pound.

Coming up with all these bullshyt reasons just to say Kobe is better at something. Kevin is the better rebounder, period, no other nonsense needs to be added. What he does for his position is irrelevant, and he's not even sub-par for an SF, the average rebound rate for them is 9.0, KD is at 11.8, you dudes stay talking out your ass.

He's actually higher above the norm for his position than Kobe, SG average - 6.6, Kobe was at 7.8 this year.

kobe been averaging around 5 boards his whole career

 

[Bilz]

do you muthafukkas watch games?....

I dont see how anyone can say Durant is a better rebounder...yea Durant averages more, but you have to consider why...he plays a position that puts him in a better position to grab boards..its not hard logic

by yalls logic...Keith van Horn is a better rebounder than J Kidd....and I keep posting this because its silly as fukk

How about you apply this same logic to Kobe's scoring and shot attempts?

 

[PTBG]

So Brook Lopez is a better rebounder than Kobe now? lol
