Kobe stans gonna stan. At the end of the day, men lie, men lie, stats don't in regards to shooting clips.

I mean even without context Kobe jump shooting is still better though :dead:

When you take away dunks and layups

Lebron - 37.6 percent
Kobe - 40.3 percent

When you use context and common sense you see that the gap is actually huge :russ:

I don't understand where #shortbusgang is coming from on this one. This is a new low, even for them.
The path you are taking ends up making Kobe look really bad in comparison. Please be careful :mjcry:

I asked and still non of these nikkas can answer. Find me a game where teams sagged off on kobe and dared him to shoot.

Someone brought up the stat that Lebron takes far more open threes than Kobe and y’all still arguing as if 1% means that much when kobe takes far more contested shots.

Just stop it lol
If I took all my shots from centre court and missed a whole bunch, does that make me a better shooter?
Lebron is deadly when driving so sagging off can be a better pill to swallow; even when open, he drains better than Kobe. The argument that you are trying to make is nonexistent and frankly worthless

Lebron is the smarter player and thus takes better shots and has a higher percentage. Kobe is a better shooter BUT he took so many dumb shots that it jacked up his percentage.
Based on what? What your heart says?

Based on watching them both their whole careers. Kobe was a really good shooter and took tough shots because of that fact. He always had defense hovering over him.

I will say its possible that Bron might be the better overall shooter in this late part of his career because he's shooting, taking and making harder shots now than he was in previous seasons.

Why do you credit him for taking tough shots instead of being critical of him doing so? Especially when the bulk of his career was spent on talented teams expected to compete for rings? You say that he took tough shots because he was a good shooter, but the truth is Kobe never shot above 47% for a season in his career. Even playing along a prime Shaq who routinely garnered double and triple teams.

Why didn't he get the looks then? If you were never born, we'd be having a much better and intelligent discussion.
Man look at this dumbass here :heh:

He's got an entirely different skillset than lebron and is guarded different because of this. That's why you fukking idiot.

That's like asking why defenses sag off of Draymond at the 3 point line but play steph up close. I know you dont understand ball of you're asking remedial ass questions like this thinking you just did something . fukking herb :heh:

This is a stupid ass post

What you #shortbusgang fools keep overlooking is the fact that Kobe’s jump shooting percentage is higher than Lebrons :dead:

The guy taking the stupid contested shots is sill more accurate than the guy who is shooting the open shots :mjlol:
