The same way a guy who is ranked 3rd all time on the career ppg list is somehow not a top 10 scorer all time
I never said that. I said he's not a better scorer than Kobe.
Lebron doesn't have the tools to have 5 60 point games

Kobe has been extremely fortunate my man. His good fortune has led to him being overrated. I'm not saying that Kobe isn't a great player, I'm just just keeping it real. He is a black hole on offense. Lebron is a more well rounded scorer. I really dont know why those kind of truthful statements cuts you Kobe fanboys do deeply, but they're true regardless.
You don't have enough bass in your voice to quote me.

I don't even hate Kobe. Dude is sick. Remember him lighting up the Pacers back in the day like this kid is the real deal, but he has bee extremely fortunate. He is not a top 10 player let alone the goat.
Lol @ fortunate. The only fortunate thing you can say about kobe is that he was born to a father who played in the NBA and grew up rich.
Anything related to his career tho is because of his hard work, clown.
If a time machine was made, and Pat Riley had the option of trading Bosh and Wade for a prime Shaq right now he'd do it and throw in his wife as well.
A prime Shaq would make it to the finals on his own, Bosh and Wade minus LeBron would not.

Name 10 players better than Kobe
Leonard Washington
Superstar
So now numbers matter with the first bolded part
Shouldnt that make it more amazing that his career ppg is as high as it is?

Lol @ Kobe is fortunate. Yea he was real fortunate when he had to play with the worst collection of players in the history of the league. Kwame, Smush Parker, Luke Walton? No, those were not his teammates off the bench. Those guys were starting getting 35 mpg.
true kobe's been fortunate but not any more fortunate that any other all time great.
you can't sit up and say he's overrated yet provide no facts that back up that statement.
overrated how?
cause he played with a prime shaq? the same prime shaq that didnt win a ring, fmvp, mvp or finals game before being paired up with kobe? and even then it took kobe becoming a FULL starter for the lakers and shaq to win something.
is it cause he played with gasol? the same gasol that won nothing and was a one time all star? then when he gets paired up with kobe there's 3 finals trips with 2 rings back to back and he becomes a multiple time all star?
or Odom? who won NOTHING lol before playing with kobe, now you got kobe haters calling him basically the GOAT 6th man.
or Bynum.... the dude that's only had 1 injury free season outta his 7 year career. averaged what 9/6 in the playoffs in 09/10 lol?
gtfoh.... lebron is not a more well rounded scorer. Well rounded means a variety of ways to score, diverse offensive arsenal. He's not a better post player than kobe, not a better 3 point shooter than kobe etc. If you said he was a more EFFICIENT scorer than kobe, then you would've made more sense.
Really? Really? For most of his career, LeBron has had some pretty notorious flaws in his game that prevented people from putting him on a level with the greatest scorers and is why people consider Melo the better scorer despite LeBron averaging more points for most of his career.
- LeBron has always been a mediocre FT shooter
- He has been poor to average in his midrange game
- His post game really didn't develop until last season
- LeBron isn't a good long range shooter when his feet aren't planted
- Never really had the ability to create shots and convert consistently out on the perimeter ie keep him shooting jumpers and he won't punish you
Fortunately for LeBron, he has worked on a lot of those an is continuing to get better even though his stats might not reflect it.
Kobe and Jordan never had those types of cons in their primes. Anything that could be done to score a basketball, they could do. Inside, outside, midrange, post, wing, perimeter, you name it.
Also, to say Kobe always has to force things on offense and is a black hole sounds like a poor trolling effort to me. Does he shoot a lot? Yes. Does use a lot of possessions? Yes. But to say he's a black hole? Nah. Al Jefferson is a black hole. The Lakers' offense runs through Kobe now and has since '05. There are different ways to go about playing this game but the Lakers haven't achieved success throughout their history in spite of Kobe.
Really, its impressive how Bron managed to average 30+ ppg multiple times without being able to shoot. He can shoot fairly well now but back in that 06-08 time frame, dude was just bullying people. Freak of nature in that Wilt and Shaq category.
lol he averaged more than 30 one time.
