LETS BE REAL, LEBRON IS PUTTING UP THESE NUMBERS BECAUSE OF HIS USAGE RATE..

[malbaker86]

So how did Kobe perform worse again? You really didn't dispute anything the OP said. Kobes usage rate was at its highest in 2003 and 2006. Same years where he was scoring 40-50 at will on 47+% shooting. I'm sleep tho

look at where that got him and the Lakers

 

[I.V.]

look at where that got him and the Lakers

He wants to talk about getting 40 and 50 in the regular season... when he got mopped in the playoffs and looked horrible with prime Pau Gasol on his team.

Shut down by OKC and Denver? :kobechair:

 

[I AM WARHOL]

You're right.

Because kobe was not capable of that kind of offensive output.



Thank you for falling into that trap.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

2012 Thunder > 2015 Warriors tho

Maybe not statistically, but if they played each other in a playoff series, I'm taking OKC.

 

[smitty22]

Against an up tempo team...
playing 1 on 1 defense...
with no rim protection...
and no one in the starting lineup above 6 8….

Prolly end up on IR, not built for that nomore

 

[Poitier]

Kobe wasn't in his prime in 2012

2009 Kobe with 44% usage against GSW equals a few 60 pt games.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

In 2012 Kobe's usage rate in the playoffs was 36%, he shot 43% from the field, 28% from three... averaged 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game... and got dumped in the second round.

Kobe was the sole offensive focus, and performed worse.

And before you argue that lebron is arguing weak defensive teams... Seven of those games were against Denver.

Close this thread, and hit the books.

Breh this ignored 4 out of OPs 5 points.

 

[OG_StankBrefs]

Coli Kobe stans are da equivalent of dat pack of obnoxious ratchet hoes at da IHOP who think because dey're loud and talk ova mufukkas dat dey're right.

Err body else in da restaurant just 's @ em.

 

[Alexander The Great]

Maybe not statistically, but if they played each other in a playoff series, I'm taking OKC.

reportedly Lebron feels this Warriors team is the weakest team he's played in the finals thus far

Was the body heavy when u caught it.

 

[CantStop]

But Warriors are the number one defensive team, and lost 3 games at home all year. So how that work?


Keep grasping... we'll be here.

Warriors are number 1 in the league defensively, Thunder were 11th.

Fewer points rebounds and assists... and his team got bounced in the second round.

PLUS: You're talking about seasons, and cherry picking games... he's talking about playoffs.

in 2012, kobe wasn't scoring 40-50 at will... he scored 40 once. Get your facts right.

And LeBron's usg% in the playoffs are 38%.

LeBron is having an unreal post season, on a weaker team than Kobe has ever had in the finals.... and you seem to be deflecting with red herrings.


Also; Usage Rate includes the amount of free throw attempts a player gets. Which is a good thing.

There is just a lot of misunderstanding of statistics on this board, and it's hilarious.

Facts > Dreams

Who cares what they did during the season. Warriors would beat the 2012 Thunder in a 7 game series ? Is that what you're telling me? Look at the Warriors in the 2015 playoffs.
Beat the bum ass Pelicans. Beat the Grizzlies who had a one eyed Conley for an entire series. Tony Allen missed a game. Beat the fukking Rockets. The Rockets.

Now they're facing the Cavs without Kyrie and Love. What part of that is impressive to you? Not only are they facing the Kyrie and Love-less Cavs, they're struggling against them. It took Curry 5 games to look like an MVP against some undrafted Ausssie.


Also as far as usage rate, Kobe understands that you can't beat a team by yourself. He would never have a 41% usage rate because he knows better. He knows you need to involve your teammates. Look at what he did for Ariza, Shannon Brown, Bynum, Odom, Vujacic. Which teammates did Bron uplift and make better? Only time they touch the ball is when they're rebounding his bricks(TT) or bailing him out(JR and Iman with 2 seconds left on the clock)

But lets pretend that Kobe, a top 2 scorer of all time, wouldn't be able to muster up a 41% usage rate. Keep living in LALA land.

Let @Malta and @I.V. tell it tho, Warriors would beat them. Anyone taking this Warriors team over the 2012 Thunder team is FOOLING themselves.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Bron knows......Westbrook, Harden, Durant, and Serge...

They'd give this Warriors team that work

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

His usage rate vs the Thunder was 39.6, he averaged 31.2ppg and only 3.4apg, they lost in 5.

39.6 still isnt 44. Lbron needs to stop being a ball hog playing hero ball.

This is so see through
