Yet LeBron finished higher than Kobe in MVP voting in 2005, 2006, 2009, and 2010.

This may be one of the dumest basketball related posts I've ever seen.47% FG, 45% FG, 44% FG, 44% FG
One of these players is the GOAT shooter, one is a "chucker", one is the previous GOAT shooter and the last one has never been called a chucker despite shooting the same percentage.
These conversations have always been biased nonsense from bitter Bron stans. If you get 90% of your shots right next to the basket, you better have a higher field goal percentage. And in today's league, many players are obsessively monitoring their FG%. Are those guys better than Kobe? Hell no. If you're purposely checking your stats, seeing you're at 50% for the night, then choosing to only shoot layups and dunks for the rest of the night, that doesn't make you a better player. Nikkas were not obsessing over their percentages like that in 2005. T-Mac, Kobe, Pierce, Carter and Iverson could have easily did that. Also, upon researching this, most shooting guards don't shoot 50% consistently. They may have a few seasons but, its rare. They are all mostly in that 44% to 47% range. But of course, only one player is disparaged for this

More deflecting…U LITERALLY JUST DEFLECTED AND TOTALLY IGNORED WHAT I SAID BECAUSE IT SHIITS ALL OVER YOUR POINT
It's fukking 2022, if haven't figured out that a ton more 3pt shots seriously affects FG%'s then you really shouldn't participate in adult conversations about basketball.
That first guy at 47% FG makes almost 4 threes/game and is shooting 58% eFG
That second guy at 45% FG makes 1.4 threes/game and is shooting 48% eFG
That is a MASSIVE difference, but somehow that's just "biased nonsense" to say 58% eFG is better than 48%?
I'm totally clueless who #3 is because neither Ray Allen nor Reggie Miller shot 44% for their career.
The rest of your post is rambling nonsense. If you're a close-to-the rim player who relies on other players to feed him, then of course you should shoot a higher %. You're only making 2pt shots and it requires the work of other players to get you the ball in position. But two perimeter players who create their own shots, shoot the same # of threes, and share the same responsibilities in the offense should be held to the same standards. If one of those guys has the skills to get close to the basket more often and create a higher-% shot, and the other guy can't or won't do it and is settling for lower-% shots and not scoring as much as a result, then the first guy is a better scorer. Full stop.
HE DOESNT HAVE A POINT
HE THROWIN SHIIT ON THE WALL TO SEE WHAT STICKS BECAUSE OF HIS HATRED FOR KOBE
Flip Murray and Drew Gooden aren't carrying the Cavs to a title no matter how many "stats Bron sacrifices". That's why your argument is stupid as fukk.
Wait, are you saying that regular season output is meaningless and you need a balanced squad to win?
I guess Kobe's 35ppg season and 81point game were meaningless too. Breh, you just invalidated 90% of Kobestans arguments for him.
Take out meaningless regular season games and Kobe Bryant is just Dwayne Wade with more seasons next to Shaq.
AND THIS IS WHY ONLY BRON APOLOGISTS TAKE U SERIOUS ON THIS FORUM
DUDE NAMED FLIP MURRAY N DREW GOODEN INSTEAD OF THE ALL-STARS ON THEM SQUADS LMAO

Thats not an argument. That’s your dumb ass opinion. And you cant spell “dumbest”. Imagine critiquing an essay in school with two sentences.
FOH.

Yeah I typed too fast and forgot the b in dumbest but I'll still say that post was the dumbest I seen in a minute. Like come on man. That shyt was equivalent to women saying they only like the Superbowl for the halftime show.
UR EITHER PLAYIN DUMB OR PLAIN DUMB
I THINK ITS A COMBINATION OF BOTH
LEBRON TAKES ON THE EASY SHOTS WHILE PUTTING THE TOUGH SHOTS ON HIS TEAMMATES
KOBE TAKES ON THE TOUGH SHOTS WHILE GIVING THE EASY SHOTS TO HIS TEAMMATES
THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PLAYER WHO ADJUSTS THEIR GAME TO THEIR SURROUNDINGS AND A PLAYER WHO MAKES OTHERS ADJUST THEIR GAME TO THEM
EXAMPLE- IF LEBRON PREFERS AN OPEN LANE TO THE BASKET, HE WILL MAKE SURE A PLAYER LIKE LOVE WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE PAINT TO KEEP THE LANES OPEN + DEFENSE OUT THE PAINT, DESPITE KEVIN LOVE BEIN IN HIS COMFORT ZONE DOWN LOW .. IN TURN, LEBRON WILL GET EASIER LOOKS, HIGHER PERCENTAGE SHOTS, BUT HIS TEAMMATES AND ULTIMATELY HIS TEAM WILL SUFFER FOR IT
ON THE CONTRARY, IF KOBE PREFERS AN OPEN LANE, HE WILL SACRIFICE THAT OPEN LANE IF HE KNOWS A PLAYER LIKE PAU OPERATES BEST IN THE PAINT.. KOBE WAS ABOUT WINNING FIRST, PERSONAL STATURE SECOND. HE UNDERSTOOD THAT WIT THIS METHOD, HIS STATS AND PERCENTAGES WOULD SUFFER, BUT HIS TEAM WOULD FIND MORE SUCCESS.
NOW, I KNOW A SOULLESS INDIVIDUAL SUCH AS YASELF WILL HAVE TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THAT, SINCE U FIND IT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND THINGS WHICH CANT BE QUANTIFIED.. BUT HOPEFULLY OTHERS WHO HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR IT AND READ THIS WILL.

Greatest NBA player of all time
What do you mean "all stars on those squads"? LeBron's top-scoring season that we were discussing was 2006. There was no all-star on that squad besides LeBron. The top four guys on that 2006 team were Flip, Hughes, Z, and Gooden, and Hughes/Z were both injured most of the year and couldn't do any more. So who were they supposed to rely on?
Larry Hughes was supposed to be the #2 guy but he got hand surgery 1/3 of the way through the season and missed the next 3+ months, couldn't shoot for shyt when he came back.
Cavs' Hughes has finger surgery, out 8 weeks
Zydrunas had knee problems from the beginning of the season, only played 29 minutes/game for the year cause his knee couldn't take any more from wear and tear.
Cavs' Ilgauskas sidelined with knee
Bron's 2nd-highest scoring season was 2008, exact same shyt. There were no fukking all-stars on that squad, Hughes was still injured all year and Z was still washed and playing 20-something minutes a game. Who was Bron supposed to defer to, Drew Gooden and Delonte West?
You literally made up this "all-stars on the squad" bullshyt. The years Bron was scoring 30+ppg were because he HAD to do it. No one else on those fukking teams was going to do any more than Bron already had them doing.
