Kobe Bryant vs. Lebron James Playoffs: Game Winning Shots

[pauk]

[I]"As you can imagine our reader response to this data varied; The Kobe Haters were ecstatic, the objective readers were enlightened, and Kobe Nation was infuriated. Emotions ran the gamut as there was something for everybody.

However, aside from the differing reactions, one question that I was repeatedly asked was

[Deuce Bigalow]

How many championships do they have? I forgot

[Quickening]

5 is one less than 7?

[pauk]

How many championships do they have? I forgot

not sure what that has to do with being clutch?

Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh
he put up a legendary 3.0 PPG in the 4th quarters

[Miller for 3]

Wow! Thanks, I completely forgot about this since the last 17 times it was posted!

And the one on the Wizards was a blatant travel. To this day I'm shocked they didn't call that.

Are you being serious?

[pauk]

Look... yes i am a Lebron fan... but i am not biased... i love FACTS.... that is my only BIAS............ if by facts Kobe was more clutch... if by facts Kobe was more productive and so on.... then i would call him better/more clutch/more productive..... its very simple............ doesnt mean i should stop having Lebron as my favorite player? he is my favorite player because i love his style... not because anything else... altho i cant lie, that is a plus....

thats why it bothers me how so many Kobe fans are so different from example me? why is it so hard to accept and move on? does your favorite HAVE to be the best at everything? do you HAVE to bash somebody else because that somebody else is not your favorite player?

i just dont get it....

[TheAesirsFinest]

Can we please just stop bickering like fanboys about who's better and just appreciate them both for being damn good ballers.

The problem is that Lebron seems to be scared of taking the game winning shot, unlike Kobe. I don't know if he had those issues with the Cavs, but he certainly has them with the Heat. No matter how bad Kobe has been, no matter how old he is or how much better Lebron is as a player, I would still rather have Kobe take the game winner over Lebron. Some may call it Lebron being a smart player, deferring to his teammate, but I can't help but see it as a weakness. He seems to have lost any confidence he has had in end of game situations.
