Is that, for the exception of Game 7 vs Suns in which Kobe sabotaged his team on purpose by refusing to shoot........ aside from that, Kobe NEVER goes down without swinging.
Kobe will lose the game, but he'll go 7-29 shooting or something. At least he'll put up shots and TRY to win the game on his back. Even if it means terrible performance and shooting, Kobe will try.
LeBron on the other hand....... I read somewhere that dude took 4 total shots in the second half. The Heat are down double digits, and LBJ the "best player" isn't even trying to use his "talents" that he took to South Beach and win the game. It's so damn annoying. Where is LeBron vs Boston Game 6? Why does LeBron go into 2011 Mavs mode so much?
Four total shots in a half when your team is down double digits. I mean, seriously.
GO DOWN SWINGING! Why is LBJ so afraid to attempt to take the game over and start chucking. He may succeed and drop 60 and win the game, or he may fail and go 11-29 FG's, but at least TRY!
I remember watching Wade during the 2009-2010 playoffs, and we got stomped by Boston. But Wade went out SWINGING, and even won us a game by just gunning everything he had. Sucks to see LBJ just avoid the pressure.

hense the reason fieldgoal percentages arent everything and protecting it might be efficient.. but at the same time by not wanting to take blame you're taking away chances at success
you miss 100% of the shots you dont take
kobe failed on the biggest stage before.. but playing his game made him a success way more often than not
big failures = bigger success... it takes money to make money. gotta spend
kobe spends
lebron doesnt

I know "check my stats" is often joked about on here. but at times, you do have to question lebrons mentality when it comes to that phrase. it seems as if his "stats" really mean that much to him. that, or he easily gets shook, which takes him out of games. you decide

kobe buys real-estate and loses money at the start. makes it all back 10 fold in the long run
lebron rents apartments and saves his cash. lives a shitty life and never takes risks
kobe = alpha
lebron = b.........

Saying he should just shoot anyways is idiotic.
Saying he should emulate Wade, who is now -89 in the 10 Finals games the last two years and isn't even pretending to defend anyone at this point shows just how awful your basketball IQ is.

LBJ is the modern-day Wilt Chamberlain, more so than Shaq ever was. They both have the same physical edge over the rest of the league (strength, speed, athleticism, stamina, skills).
In 1968 Eastern Finals, Wilt scored only 14 points, and took only 1 shot in the second half. That he pulled down 34 rebounds is immaterial: the Sixers had gone ice cold from the field at the worst time. Wilt just didn't compensate.
LBJ seems wired the same way.

this. Lebron is the modern day Wilt. Both chokers and losers. Originally Posted by Gotterdammerung

I still can't get over Ray's 3 pointer last year.
Lebron could/should have been 1-5

Yeah, it's amazing how whenever the Lakers are already behind, an injury always somehow bubbles to the surface for Kobe. Originally Posted by SexSymbol

So he quit in a game 7.
He quit for an entire series after game 1.
He demanded a trade.
Kobe loves to hog the glory when it's going well. When it's not, he's an excuse MACHINE.

Re: Ya'll know I hate Kobe. But this is one thing I will give credit to Kobe for.
and lets also not forget that mitch and company basically said, "fck you, kobe" and made him stay on the team, without making any changes to the line up. what happened after? kobe put on his big boy pants, and led the lakers to one of the best records in the league by january, and bynum was actually playing like a true center at that time. but against memphis, he ****ed up his knee and would miss the rest of the regular season. only after, would pau get traded to LA Originally Posted by Akrazotile
