LeBron has a higher 3 point percentage than Kobe, but i dont feel like that makes him a better shoot

[NYC Rebel]

Lol truth hurts. Basketball is unique, key moments matter more than just great stats.

You feel how you. it was a deflection

Bruh you work at a comic book shop and you want to live in Japan so you can fully immerse yourself in the anime culture

You are a nerd, a weirdo, and an overall embarrassment to your family

Channel the energy that you use being a dikk eating remedial faccot into figuring out how to get some money and watch how quick your life changes

My job allows me to travel to exotic places. Be mad.


I've hooped with semi pros, euroleague players, lfted weights with former NFL players, play football in high school with a bunch of em.

They just regular nikkas like you and me, some smart, some really really dum, some know the game, most don't, most were just more naturally gifted than 99% of humanity. Charles Barkley has a career as an analyst



I'm not flabby nor sick and I can hoop, and I'm telling you right fukking now LeBron is a better shooter than that snitching Italian in LA and stats and in game performance prove it.


Be mad "I shoulda could woulda but now I'm flabby" ass nikka.

Lower shooting percentage even though he is usually open and you idiots still think this

Lebron would clown you geeks

The guys who can really shoot will very rarely shoot below 75 percent from the free throw line like Lebron does

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Can you though? Can you give me some context to lend credence to why Kobe would be a better shooter? Or is that just your opinion again?

Evidence says that Lebron shoots it better from every single spot on the court but fukk it cause the random Nba players say Kobe.

Kobe had a pretty looking J, Lebron has a sort of stiff mechanical looking one. Kobe also has a biggest catalogue of insane shots made. Which makes people think he was a better shooter then he really was.

Don’t care if he has a more fluid looking J...he didn’t execute it out on the court as well as Lebron did and is therefore is not a better shooter.

Where is that evidence .

This is why I cant take these bron stans serious smh.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

If Kobe got the looks lebron has been giving his whole career, he'd be a 40+% shooter from deep.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Lol truth hurts. Basketball is unique, key moments matter more than just great stats.

Kobe doesnt have a fraction of the key moments Lebron does

Yall have literally no argument other than your feelings which defy all logic.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

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

This is the best point

 

[Champ_KW]

Half the guys on this site have never played basketball on a ten foot goal

We have literally watched teams back off of LeBron James and dare him to hit open 18 footers. Why would you solely use stats to compare him to a guy that defenses smother from everywhere

Coli opinions are usually opposite of the people who actually play against the players that these fat nerds discuss online

The numbers don't lie.....BUT....Mavs got a ring, Popovich was a rebound away from winning a championship, and came back and got one anyway with the sole game plan of "let Lebron shoot jumpers". I don't know any other great "scorer" from the perimeter that would get that treatment to win a regular season game, let alone a championship. So in this case, I do think there has to be some context applied instead of just rattling off stats and percentages.

How do you think that helps Kobe's case? As someone already pointed out, LeBron created the majority of his threes while Kobe was assisted for the majority of his. Players guard up on Kobe because they know he'll shoot anyway, whereas LeBron tends to get himself into a position where he has the best shot rather than throwing up trash. That is a GOOD characteristic of a basketball player, not a bad one.

They actually give Kobe credit for being a gunner with suspect shot selection. Kobe took more contested 3s because he’s more selfish, less versatile with a lower b-ball iq than lebron. Why sag off of Kobe when he’s less of a threat to drive and much more prone to force up shots even when when he’s being defended closely?

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Kobe was harder to defend.
Lebron is more efficient.

 

[75 Others]

Breh this is a prime example of where stat whores fails. Literally no NBA player would agree bron is a better shooter. That's just ridiculous. You cant use fg% to determine who shoots the ball better

Kobe can eat a bag of dikks but I agree with this. DWade one season had the highest FG% ever for a SG scoring over 20 PPGs. So he "shot" better than MJ, Kobe, Reggie, Ray, Clyde, and all SGs before him.

Despite points, I even know Kobe is a better scorer than LBJ, but not a better player: yeshrug:

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

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

I don't understand where #shortbusgang is coming from on this one. This is a new low, even for them.

Except we aren’t talking about overall fg% or 1 isolated season. We are comparing the fg% of 2 players from a specific distance over the courses of their respective 15+ year careers.

Utterly stupid post.

If Kobe got the looks lebron has been giving his whole career, he'd be a 40+% shooter from deep.

If Kobe had the ball iq, versatility, and unselfishness of lebron he could’ve shot a better percentage with the exact same looks that he got.

Bron at 6 key moments

Hopefully we get no more

 

[Deus]

So it's LeBron's fault he didn't rush into double and triple teams and hurt his team by not passing the ball?
