Kobe had all of that... and STILL can't put up better numbers than LeBron offensively.
Sad part is, I agree with you. Kobe passes the eye test vs LeBron. There is an awkwardness to Bron's game that I think we weren't used to, growing up with Anfernee, T-Mac, Kobe and Mike.
But the way a dude's game LOOKS doesn't matter. Kevin Martin had an OOGLY shot, but that bytch was WATER. Kobe had all those moves, but never could outscore a pass-first player. LeBron is a 27 PPG career scorer, Kobe is 25. The numbers matter. I don't care abut your bag if this nikka is outscoring you awkwardly.
We just call Bron's game ugly and keep it movin.
Sccit... my dude, for all the shyt you talk about regarding media influences, you sure as hell stay repeating Skip Bayless.
LeBron has taken over 200 clutch shots: LeBron James clutch shots made: Regular season | Basketball-Reference.com
This, my young friends is called a "cherry pick".
Notice how you had to caveat this, by shoehorning LeBron's games player to only Cleveland, but post a video of Kobe operating during seasons LeBron was on the Heat?
What do you gain from that???? Lmao
By the way, that's a COLD video
...and guess who is still the number 2 scorer of all time?
You can't have it both ways-- either Kobe is a better scorer or he's not. Do I think Kobe had a better bag? Absolutely. But the numbers say LeBron was a better and more efficient scorer.
Your entire argument is based around how pretty you think Kobe's game was. Mine is about absolute raw numbers. We are talking past each other.
That's a roundabout way of admitting LeBron came in the league balling and Kobe didn't.
You have no way to back these claims up, please stop @'ing me if you gonna go "but dude, heart of the cards" every time we square up. Either you got facts to back this up or you don't. You don't know LeBron and Kobe is dead-- you can't speak to what these guys play for or why they do what they do.
On one hand, you claim LeBron is too scared to take a shot. In the same breath, you claim he was scoring for his brand. Come on mayne!
Context?
ONCE AGAIN.. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION
LEBRON HAD BETTER SCORING NUMBERS BECAUSE EVERYBODY HE PLAYS WIT HAS TO ADAPT TO HIM. HIS TEAMMATES MUST SACRIFICE THEIR INDIVIDUAL NUMBERS SO THAT LEBRON CAN GET HIS. WE ALL SAW LEBRON PUT UP HUGE NUMBERS THIS YEAR.. MATTER OF FACT, IT WAS ONE OF HIS BEST SCORING SEASONS. BUT IT ALWAYS COMES AT A DETRIMENT TO THE COLLECTIVE.
U CAN IGNORE THIS ALL U WANT, BUT FOR SOMEONE LIKE U WHO FAILS WIT THE EYE TEST, ALL U GOTA DO TO “QUANTIFY” IT IS COMPARE THE ALL-NBA TEAMS BOSH, LOVE, AND PAU MADE PRE AND POST JOINING WIT BRON N KOBE
NOW HEAR ME OUT HERE, BECAUSE U KEEP IGNORING THIS..
IF KOBE PLAYED “BRON BALL” AKA EVERYTHING REVOLVES AROUND ME GETTING MY NUMBERS, THEN HE WOULDA HAD 40 PPG SEASONS AND FINISHED HIS CAREER WIT A 35 PPG CAREER AVERAGE.. BUT HIS TEAMMATES WOULDA SUFFERED AND HE WOULD HAVE AND UNDERWHELMING RING COUNT ALA BRON.
THIS IS NOT JUST SOMETHING IM PULLIN OUT MY ASS.. BEING A BASKETBALL ENTHUSIAST MY ENTIRE LIFE AND STUDYING KOBE’S GAME+MENTALITY CLOSELY, ITS VERY DIFFICULT NOT TO COME TO THAT CONCLUSION
HAVE U EVER WATCHED KOBE’S SHOW “DETAIL”? HE LITERALLY STUDIED WHAT HE NEEDED TO SACRIFICE IN ORDER TO ELEVATE HIS TEAMMATES.. THIS IS SOMETHING NUMBERS DONT SHOW. THIS IS WHY KYRIE RAN FOR THE HILLS. THIS IS WHY CHRIS BOSH AND KEVIN LOVE SAID ITS DIFFICULT PLAYIN WIT BRON WHILE PAU WORSHIPS THE GROUND KOBE WALKED ON… BRON JUS AINT GOT IT LIKE THAT. IT WAS ALWAYS NUMBERS FIRST WIT HIM
BTW THEM KOBE GAME WINNERS ARE ALL FROM ONE SEASON
SHOW ME AN INDIVIDUAL BRON SEASON WIT 7 GAME WINNERS.. SHIIT, JUST GIVE ME 5 ….. U CANT. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME
