Looks like LeBron is destroying Kobe already
Kobes overall finals performance:
09-10 40.5%
08-09 43.0%
07-08 40.5%
03-04 38.1%
01-02 51.4%
00-01 41.5%
99-00 36.7%
Look how terrible Kobe's numbers are LeBrons overall finals performance in 2011:
10-11 47%.... Kobe only had one year better than this.
Also in the Finals LeBron averaged more assists per game than Jason Kidd and almost as many rebounds as Tyson Chandler.
But Kobe blows EVERY finals EVERY SINGLE ONE. except for once in 2002? And everyone ignores that...
Im not a LeBron fan. But I do know that Kobe is overrated and for some reason LeBron gets some undeserved hate when he is a better player than Kobe.
