Kobe Bryant: LeBron did not 'push me' to be better

[Mr Feeny]

how is it debatable, Gasol took half as many shots and barely had a better fg% than Kobe despite Kobe chucking long 2s and 3s

do you know what a first option means? I guess you would be the type of guy to say "Look! Odom had a better FG% and more rebounds! Kobrick was carried by Odom!"

usage rate and FGA my friend, Pau was never close to being a 1st option. You don't get any points for being more efficient in a lesser role, that is to be expected from a big man playing next to the best SG since Jordan

First options don't go 6/24 in game 7s
No excuses. Gasol was number one option.

6/6 Pippen > 5/7 Kobe.

Good luck catching up kobrick

I guess Mozgov was number one option last year because he shot 16% better than LeBRICK in the Finals.

The same Pippen 20 yr old Kobrick crossed and sent to retirement after Pippen choked a 13 pt lead in the 4th quarter of a Game 7 in a conference Finals?

The same Pippen that's 0 - 3 in Playoff series vs Kobrick?

[Mr Feeny]

And yet hes still 6/6 while Kobrick 5/7

Pippen > kobe

Yeah, losing in the 1st round 3 times (one of which he had Hakeem and Barkley) without MJ is better than losing in the Finals.

You are certainly the greatest mind in basketball history.

How many times has Lebron made the finals while Kobe was getting his ass kicked in the first round...?

Hey I'm using your logic.
If you're gonna troll with the 2/6 drivel, then

Pippen > Kobrick.
Take your pick

The cavalry had arrived

How often did Lebron play in the weaker conference?


Kobe made 3 straight Finals from 08-10, Lebron lost to all of the teams Kobe faced in the Finals and beat 2 out of 3 times (3 out of 3 if Bynum and Ariza aren't injured in 08), not Kobe's fault Lebron couldn't make it there. There's 0 excuse when Lebron's teams had the best record in the league in 09 and 10.
