Re: NBA Discussion Thread

Except who do they go to come the important times? Towards the end of a close game? In the finals? I think it speaks for itself. You watch ESPN and they'll all say it's Wade's team.

Espn also says Lebron is a better player than Kobe...but I know you don't agree with that...

Some of you guys are really fucking ignorant.

Who said it wasn't? Im just saying, the Heat is doing just fine with the guy who actually LEADS THEM in mostly everything.

Exactly.

I wish their were HEAT fans here, not LeBron fans. The only thing they bring up is stats, it's like they don't even watch the actual games at all.

Dem numbas don't lie- Lil Wayne If your gonna make a statement, back it up with some prove.

Sometime ESPN is a joke. Just 3 weeks ago Kobe was the 8th best player in the league, 1 week ago he was the best in the league and now he's back at 3, their bandwagon jumpers. Let Lebron have one bad week and KD have a good week and suddenly KD will be the best, a bunch of bandwagoners if you ask me.

I'm sorry that I don't post here that much any more, I'm not supporting his argument in anyway.

Re: NBA Discussion Thread

I gotta question for you Kobe fans. How do u consider Kobe to be a great basketball player when he takes sooo many damn shots a game. Like he will miss a thousand times and still won't pass. The dude has a horrible shooting percentage on the Daily basis. To me that's the only thing keeping me from thinking he's a great player. He literally will shoot 11\40 that's horrible. Thats what I did when I played at the playground in middle school not in the pros

He's averaging 30 points on 45 percent shooting..pretty decent..he has a bad shooting night every once in a while..thats like me sayin Lebron aint Great because he folds in the clutch every once in a while

Kobe averaging 30 5 and 5..thats pretty Great

He's got the best skill set by far of anyone in the NBA, 2nd all time offensively too only MJ. This is difficult because you only look at stats instead of actual skill set.

Kobe's footwork, low post game, he's got the most moves, his fadeaway, I mean he honestly doesn't have a weakness in his game.

He's got so many signature shots that he can go to it's unbelievable to watch.

Watch what he does when he's double teamed as well, his basketball IQ is probably the highest in the NBA.

Then we move to LeBron who has below average footwork, never had a post game, not a killer, doesn't have a true signature move, doesn't have a clutch gene, and his outside game is average at best.

LeBron can do what he does because he's got some freak of nature body that is like a train coming into a lane. He's huge which makes him hard to defend.

You look at his skill set and it's not anywhere near some of these players --

1. Kobe
2. Melo
3. Wade
4. Durant
5. Rose

It's like Shaq. He was dominant and got great stats, was he an amazing talent? No. It's because he can overpower anyone.

Judging off of talent Shaq wouldn't be a top 10 Center of all time.

I mean to put it simply - Take ALL of Kobe's skill set and put it in LBJ's body.. Most dominant player of all time and could do no wrong.

Take LBJ's talent, put it in Kobe's body & you have an average player who probably wouldn't be an all star.

Last point, if he wasn't "great" why would MJ the GOAT himself say ONLY Kobe Bryant deserves comparisons to himself?... Speaks for itself.

You got some good points but..

LeBron has a post game now, worked on it in the offseason.
He can finish almost better than anybody in the game.
He can defend anyone he wants to, even Dirk in the finals if Spoelstra would have let him.
Easily one of the best facilitators in the game.
And he doesn't take silly shots as much as he used too.


5 years ago i'll give you Kobe was the best, but now? No.. too many injuries and getting old.

Here's my top 6 right now:

1. LeBron
2. Durant
3. Rose
4. CP3
5. Kobe
6. Melo

In like 2 years though KD will be the best for a while.

Re: NBA Discussion Thread

@Weezy_KB24 Kobe Bryant vs LeBron James comparison detailed and factual 2011! NEW! - YouTube I bet you won't watch the whole video without closing it and watching another Kobe highlight video. Also, he isn't a lebron fanboy. His favorite team is chicago and his favorite players are Noah,CP3, and D-Rose. Another thing, heres a nice little quote "You see fans use the word "skilled", prove skilled, prove that these "skills" that you see are more effective than LeBron's skillset."

Re: NBA Discussion Thread

^^^Soon as I opened the video I saw it was made by Bruce Blitz lol..dude is the biggest Kobe Hater Ever! Literally..Ima watch it tho

Watched the first five minutes..got what I expected, bunch of stats that favor Lebron....Ironically enough he didn't mention championships (at least in the part that I saw)..yes everybody knows Lebrons stats are better than Kobe's..still doesnt change my mind that Kobe is better All Time..Lebron prolly got better stats than Magic Johnson too..is he better..no..Lebron clearly better than Kobe right now tho..I'm done arguing about it tho..I'm not gonna change y'all mind and y'all not gonna change mine

Kobe >>> Lebron

That is all
