Again some of you dudes been playing on the internet for decades. It's a different world on here and on many subjects is askew from whats actually going on in reality...
I wasn't online in the late 00s and I distinctly remember Kobe vs Bron debates. Yall nikkas so used to all this anonymous online shyt yall have no feel for what people actually talk like in real life. Analytics are a thing in arguments now to a degree. No one 12+ years ago (the late 00s is what this lying ass nikka said and that ended a dozen years ago) in the real world was making no fukking basketball arguments centered around analytics...
When the Kobe vs Bron shyt was on Bron defenders main go-to was that you could visually see he was a better basketball player than Kobe was at the same age, and supported that argument with how Bron played the game. Kobe defenders leaned on the postseason success and his cumulative body of work (to that point) because since they were 7 years apart in age, you couldn't argue that Kobe at the same age was as good as LeBron. I've pointed out the distinction between internet-consumed Kobe heads and real life ones many times before, in the real world the vast majority of Kobe heads in that debate were NOT arguing that Kobe was better at playing basketball than LeBron. Everybody and their mom saw LeBron coming and there was an acknowledgement of it even if you took the Kobe side of the debate...
Some of yall been online too long and don't know how to log off mentally, this goes way beyond just discussing sports on here...
You can stop throwing me in that category too, you've never seen me use stats as the chief support of LeBron because I dont need to. Like you and everyone else, I use stats to underscore whatever point I'm making, literally everyone on here will if it supports their point. Most Bron heads aint gotta point to the numbers because the actual work on the floor speaks for itself, any beef you nikkas have with statistical arguments is because they don't generally favor your guy if Bron is involved...
As it applies to today and the past several years, no one needs stats to support Bron over anyone. He's competing in a different lane, all the shyt these other dudes are trying to do, he's already done. He don't need anyone to defend his stats, he's already done the numbers thing and it speaks for itself...
Thats been disproved time and again on here...
