Clinching Game Stats for MJ, Kobe, LeBron...

[WayOfWade]

Yeah, it's pretty bs to include those stats as an example of the Kobe Bryant we know. Since we are comparing stars, not growing pains, we should only compare them as starters. He was the only one that came to an already hella good team...of course he wasn't going to be given the green light (Del hated him basically) the same way everyone else on the list was.

I see your point (along with Magic 32's), I just have the desire to see the whole story. When you read a book, you don't skip the first 50 pages, you read all of it. However since multiple people are asking for this, I'll try to revisit his stats and repost his starter averages probably tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback.

[Magic 32]

This is intelligence. Thank You.

Not really.

Kobe did not know he was going to play for a powerhouse team when he decided to skip college.

Lebron knew he was going to have his own team.

Still doesnt change the fact that he came out of High School. Everyone knows you'll be better going to college for a couple years before going pro. And it still doesn't change the fact that he played in those games, and so they're a part of the averages. Still though, I respect and see your point, and as I've said in my last post, I'll post Kobe's starter averages probably tomorrow for people who don't want Kobe's tainted games in them.

THIS, they both came outta high school being placed onto random teams in random situations. I guess Kobe could have known that he wouldn't be going to a lottery team..... but it is what it is

lebrons stats are registered up untill his prime. jordans and kobes pretty much a full career. thats how you can tell lebron isnt even close to jordan, with jordans washed up years he still averaged better than lebron.

06 Lebron is 22 yrs old and 88 Jordan is like 25

Custodian, it's better to let everyone think you're an idiot, instead of opening your mouth and proving it.

But still Kobe needed 5 YEARS before being the player Lebron was in his 2nd year

It's the best we have. Clearly adding that data is a better alternative than ignoring defense altogether.

Damn lurkers.

You only post in Jordan threads. Get a life dude, the guy is retired and the GOAT, deal with it already.

4 years.

1999-00 Kobe was a defensive beast and a totally capable scorer.

I would take 00 Kobe over 05 Lebron (maybe even 06).

Kobe forced his way onto the Lakers. Why didn't he stick it out with "his own team" in Charlotte for the Hornets, who actually drafted him? He did the Magic thing, and was spoiled, entitled enough to manipulate his way onto the team he wanted to be on. That powerhouse team also benefitted his career resume by allowing him to be on championship caliber teams every season of his career until 2005.

[QUOTE=Magic 32]Kobe's and Lebron's numbers will start to tip in the other direction at some point (when Lebron slows down).

And some of these inclusions are quite unfair to Kobe.
