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

[Magic 32]

So if we decide to do that, shall we start to go back and editing other stats as well?

Bron was too young, he had to carry a team from age 18, let us change those stats around.

Lebron did not make the playtoffs in 04 and 05.

Trash post.

OK now I know ur an I diot. ty

You think 00 Kobe is not as good as 05 Lebron.

Unreal.

[Magic 32]

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.

Yes, Kobe put a magic spell on Jerry West.

When u bring out the 06 thats just a proof ur a homer

I think in a playoff series, Lebron's total lack of a post game, he's non-existing jumper, and his inexperience would be is a huge detriment.

Kobe's offensive game was almost complete in 2000 (not quite the perfect jumpshot), and defensively.....it's not even close.

2000 was Kobe's best year defensively.

And I said "maybe".

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

[QUOTE=andgar923]Then you should also take away the wins and anything positive as well no?

MJ was old, had injuries let us adjust those as well. Oh while we're at it, let us adjust his second season stats since he didn't really play a whole lot

While people like Magic 32 are agitated over some of Kobe's not as fine moments being included

I don't consider scoring 0 points in 6 min. a "not so fine moment".

I don't think that's fair.

[andgar923]

While I like what you're trying to do, it seems kind of forced. While people like Magic 32 are agitated over some of Kobe's not as fine moments being included, you're trying to find reasons why they should be, and the (my) answer is simple. Kobe played those games, therefore they should and will be included.
As for you're explanation , perhaps a better example would be that if you want to take away those games, then you'll need to take away the entire first few years of his career. His all-rookie team, his dunk contest title, all the points he scored in them (not sure how many), and everything else. That just doesnt sit well with me.

I was being facetious.

I basically meant what you just stated.

Kobe Bryant Clinching Game Averages (as a starter)

27.6 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 5.2 APG, 1.6 SPG, 1 BPG, 2.8 TOPG

Someone else has to do percentage numbers.

[KOBE143]

Still...

Jordan = Kobe >>>>> LeBron > Wade > Carmelo

So in essence, even cherry picking certain games to be removed, even though it was Kobe's choice to come out of HS early. Both with it's benefits and pitfalls. Wanting to be on the Laker franchise, which already had an All-Star caliber player at his position.

Removing those games, it's still:

MJ > LeBron > Kobe > Wade > Melo

So, thanks. I think.

Great players putting up great numbers.

I don't get why Carmelo Anthony is in this. Could have picked a better candidate. Add some other great perimeter players in his place, like Bird, Magic, etc... I guess finding the stats for those guys would be hard, though.
