ok now do it for all playoff opponents..
cant find data for mj so just comparing lebron and kobe
Kobe 2000–2012: 27.7 ppg, 48.2 eFG% (192 games)
LeBron 2006–2016: 28.0 ppg, 51.3 eFG% (199 games)
Kobe’s competition 2000–12: 102.5 DefRtg, 65.9% WP, 5.3 NetRtg
LeBron’s competition 2006–16: 103.7 DefRtg, 62.5% WP, 3.8 NetRtg
competition was slighly in favor of kobe, but not astronomically so like the brehs here make it seem like (plus 2017 and 2018 warrior teams are going to boost lebron's stats)
also, Lebron had better stats
but lets compare stats when both were the #1 option
Kobe 2006–2012: 29.2 ppg, 49.9 eFG% (101 games)
LeBron 2006–2016: 28.0 ppg, 51.3 eFG% (199 games)
Kobe’s competition 2006–12: 104.9 DefRtg, 65.8% WP, 5.5 NetRtg
LeBron’s competition 2006–16: 103.7 DefRtg, 62.5% WP, 3.8 NetRtg
lebron actually faced some better defensive teams...and was a more efficient scorer
