Stop it with this Kobe "The Killer" myth (Jordan and lebron comparison)

Perception vs Reality.

The funny part is, Kobe's most notable playoff game is his 6-24 game 7

WHAT A KILLER!!!!

And the most notable part of your sad existence is you constantly posting about a player you supposedly hate on a message board..

Deflecting about me won't change the fact your favorite player sucks balls in the clutch.

Kobe' fans reaction after seeing this thread:

This one would have been funny too. Aggressively trying to get away.

This thread it amazing

Yikes, perception is a powerful thing when the hype machine is in full swing. Even when in actuality it isn't necessarily deserved.

This is basically why I stopped being a fan of Kobe. He had all these amazing regular season games, that in retrospect and in the context of his performance against better teams particularly in the playoffs and Finals made him seem kind of overrated.

Not a bad player, still top ten. Just maybe not as great as the MJ and even LeBron comparisons.

Yea he faced some great defenses in the Finals, thats no excuse though. MJ, Bron, Wade saw those gritty, suffocating team defenses in their own conference playoffs before the Finals and comparatively obviously performed better. MJ, LeBron and Wade saw great defenses in the Finals too.

The Kobe cult stays making excuses in order to give their god an extra push to the premier tier all time that he might not deserve. Stick to praising his most redeeming attribute, that absurd longevity.

MJ>LeBron>Kobe. Nothing I didn't know already.

Kobe's killer instinct = making angry faces.

I would also suggest we stop it with this Lebron "The Killer" myth

This thread it amazing

They just showed this stat to Stephen A. on the Sportscenter and that sour face of his (before he went on a completly nonsensical rant which only purpose was to the drive attention away from Kobe's lack of killer instinct) was just

As Swish has said, public perception is strong with Kobe.

Nobody's denying that he was awful in the clutch in those finals. But compared to Bryant he has much more great performances in finals (even though thats not so hard since I cant remember even one Kobe's good finals game) and in playoffs.
And nobody is calling Lebron "a killer" like people use to call Kobe with no reason. Thats what needs to be sorted out.
Kobe' fans need to face it. He is an average at best in the clutch and below average in deciding games. Doesn't belong in the same sentence with Lebron or Jordan when we are talking about those parts of game.

You have to take the whole career into account. These past two years, it's hard to argue that Lebron doesn't have a killer instinct.

Steven A. is so annoying. He just favors people who hang out with him and give him interviews. No objectivity whatsoever. I even prefer Skip to him.
