"Thirty years ago, that's me," - Michael Jordan on Russell Westbrook

[The God Poster]

HES A SMALLER, LESS SKILLED 80S JORDAN.



​

D-Wade is the closest as far as on court play to playing like Jordan.

So a killer instinct is frowning? If LeBron does everything better, then what difference does this magic killer instinct make? Are you praising his being a ball hog who refuses to pass the ball even when tripled? Are you praising his predicable nature in the clutch?

It means he's a mental midget. And if it looks like the game is lost, and the team is up 30 points, he shrinks. You dudes act like 1 finals trip erases the other 6 and an entire career of this. Jordan LIVED for that. Kobe was about that life too, just not as good as Jordan, but still a killer. It means if your life depended on someone winning a finals game, you'd be dead with Lebron. Alive with Jordan. And facing good odds with Kobe.

You do realize teams that trail by 30 at any point in a game lose somewhere around 95%+ of the time in such situations and that Kobe didn't exactly make a habit of coming back from big deficits himself right? If Kobe was such a killer, do explain why LeBron so vastly outperforms him in literally every metric available in the playoffs, when facing elimination, in game 7, in the finals, and when shooting with the game on the line.

Whether the made shots come off shots in the paint or off jumpers is not relevant. All that matters in regards to asking who the better scorer is is a combination of scoring volume and efficiency. LeBron scores more on much higher efficiency, and he's also a better 3 point shooter than Kobe too.

Crazy how west was shytted on early for hindering Debytch growth. And I felt for that shyt thinking he wasn't doing true pg shyt.

Now he is the superhero underdog where it's him against the world type shyt.

Best player to watch

Okay, for one, I was exaggerating. That should have been clear.

For two, somehow Lebron has lost 4 times in the Finals while the nikka you're trying to discredit at every opportunity has only lost twice. Even on his own, he was 2 out of 3. That means even without Shaq, he's a winner.

It's hard to quantify "killer instinct". The "metrics" say that Kevin Durant is the safer / better / more efficient option than Russell Westbrook but, I think anybody who watches the game will say that Russell has more killer instinct and more heart. Your argument supports Durant

Also, explain why in 2008, the Olympic Team preferred a 30 year old Kobe taking the Final shot in games instead of a young athletic 25 year old Lebron? I'll wait.

Also, what do you get out of arguing this when dozens of NBA players and legends have said Kobe has killer instinct. Tell me breh....what do you know that Bird, Jordan and Magic don't?
