Comparing Lebron and Kobe championship runs
Lets account for Lebron and Kobe's playoff runs, including the opponents they lost to.
- M.O.V.=Margin of victory weight of its opponent-adjusted scoring margin by the importance of each game http://www.basketballprospectus.com/unfiltered/?p=923
- S.O.S.=Strength of schedule was determined using the pre-series Elo ratings of a team’s opponents. Games were weighted according to how much they swung each team’s title odds.
ex: 2016 Cavaliers pre-series win probability (ELO) against the Warriors was 27.4%
- Rating= SOS and MOV combined
YEAR..CHAMP...M.O.V...S.O.S...RATING
2014...Spurs....+12.9...+4.5.....+17.4
[COLOR="Indigo"]2001...Lakers...+10.....+4.9.....+14.9[/COLOR]
2016...Cavalier+6.1....+8.6......+14.7
2015...Warrior..+8.4....+6.1.....+14.5
[COLOR="Indigo"]2008...Celtics...+7.4....+4.7.....+12.1[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Indigo"]2009...Lakers....+8.3....+6.2.....+14.5[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Indigo"]2004...Detroit...+7.2....+4.6.....+11.8[/COLOR]
2012...Miami....+6.6....+5.1.....+11.7
2011...Dallas....+4.3....+6.9.....+11.2
[COLOR="Indigo"]2002...Lakers....+4.6....+6.1.....+10.7
2010...Lakers....+4.5....+5.4.....+9.9[/COLOR]
2007...Spurs.....+5.3....+4.3.....+9.6
2013...Miami.....+3.9....+4.5.....+8.4
[COLOR="Indigo"]2000...Lakers....+2.6....+4.3.....+6.9[/COLOR]
Championship teams
Lebron avg M.O.V. = 5.7
[COLOR="Indigo"]Kobes avg M.O.V. = 6[/COLOR]
Lebron avg S.O.S. = 6
[COLOR="Indigo"]Kobes avg S.O.S. = 5.38[/COLOR]
Opponents Average
Lebrons M.O.V = 7.7
[COLOR="Indigo"]Kobes M.O.V. = 7.3[/COLOR]
Lebron S.O.S.= 5.45
[COLOR="Indigo"]Kobes S.O.S. = 4.7[/COLOR]
When you combine BOTH Champion teams avg and Opponent avg
Lebron Teams M.O.V + S.O.S. 24.85
[COLOR="Indigo"]Kobes Teams M.O.V. + S.O.S 23.38[/COLOR]
For Playoff runs, Lebron's teams and his Finals opponents had better margins of victory and faced tougher opponents than Kobe's teams and his opponents.
Lebron's Finals teams not only had greater playoff journeys than Kobe's but the teams Lebron faced had much greater journeys also. Giving the conclusion Lebrons faced much more adversity in his Finals losses
