2012-2013: Lebron James vs. Kobe Bryant: Jump Shooting and Finishing

[alleykat]

All time greats like MJ have to have one of these in your collection. This is an underrated alpha male award.

All you need is a car to jump over or a cape to win one...
Looks like Kobe was just playing with an all time great and they didnt win..

Another black mark on the resume

17th year Kobe putting up 27/6/6 on excellent efficiency (57% TS/112 ORTG).

Shot 70% at the rim.

Had the best mid-range numbers in basketball:



3 triple-doubles.

20 double-doubles

10 40+ pt games.

And you ****ing idiots still hating instead of appreciating how extraordinary this is. 17th year guards shouldn't be doing this. LeBrick sure as hell won't be this good.

****ing morons.

Pathetic.

Best mid-range player of all time.

lol if u actually think lebron thinks kobe is better than him u must have brain damage

It's not a matter of what I think. It's a matter of what he has said. Considering Lebron said so in the best statistical season Lebron ever had, playing at his best - there is no more to it. That pretty much seals it for the fanboy wars.

I don't need to even think or argue. Lebron said it for me to seal the deal.

Sorry dude but Kobe, MJ, Dominique and VC never needed props. 4 of the best dunkers in history.

[AintNoSunshine]

heres the thing

ask yourself this question.

if each guy had to go up against himself. and the other 2 guys. who would have more success?


prime jordan defended by prime jordan... he would shoot poorly

prime jordan defended by prime lebron... he would shoot poorly

prime jordan defended by prime kobe... he would shoot poorly


prime lebron defended by prime jordan... he would shoot poorly

prime lebron defended by prime lebron... he would shoot poorly

prime lebron defended by prime kobe... he would shoot poorly


however

prime kobe defended by prime jordan... he would shoot well

prime kobe defended by prime lebron... he would shoot well

prime kobe defended by prime kobe... he would shoot well




the problem is.. when MJ played. no one else was like MJ physically. no one could keep up with him. no one could stay infront of him or push him outside for contested shots

same thing for lebron


but as for kobe.. he has never had a physical advantage over the entire league like lebron or mj had

so kobe can go up against himself. or anyone in history and play his game

lebron can't

jordan can't

kobe is an era transitional player. mj and lebron are not

That's like the pinnacle of stupidity in human history

[CanYouDigIt]

I made this thread to talk about Kobe and Lebron, not Jordan and Diaw.

Lol that dunk contest sucked. Chris Carr (who?) got second place.

His point was that if defenders peess up on you it is harder to make jumpers but it makes it easier to drive past them.

Is this a real post? Have you ever played basketball in your life? It is very hard to make it past two defenders, even harder making the pass out of a double team. You have two guys on you and they are cutting you field of vision, not even counting the stress of having to dribble the ball and trying to shoot it in the hoop or finiding an open teammate. THe way people like Melo, Kobe or Lebron does it is why they get payed the big bucks.
