If he did that like once a month and broke out for 65+, I'd agree with you, but it wasn't him "elevating his game" for the win, it was just a hot shooting night. He had many, many games over 40 points and he was over 35 points over half the season.

LMAO... Hot shooting night, well that's one historic hot shooting night! Actually, make that one historic shooting season. Dude, trust me, when you look at it without bias, Kobe in the mid to late 2000's was one of the greatest players ever, and LeBron hasn't touched that yet.

Also, don't compare Kobe 2012-2013 to any Kobe between 2000-2010. That's not fair at all. that's like me comparing Wizard MJ to 90's Bulls MJ. Kobe was good this year, best SG is the game. But he wasn't as great as those Kobe's. Kobe in that era was top 5 all time.

Look at those numbers, all half of 81. Why aren't there more 60+ games to defend it wasn't just a better night than usual?
He did have nobody, but I mean if a Melo, Durant even LeBron put the ball up 35 times a game, they'd do something similar.
Last year in the playoffs against the Pacers and Celtics LeBron realized he needed to score to win they game, took the game in his own hands and dropped 45+. Kobe just did it in the regular season because he had no choice.
I never said he wasn't one of the greatest players ever. I actually acknowledged in this very thread, all-time you have to give it to Kobe right now because of what he accomplished. But like I said, LeBron is on pace to shatter it all.
Also LeBron's IQ allows him to get his team the best look every possession. Notice all you've mentioned so far is Kobe's scoring ability. If the Heat and the Lakers score 100 points each, Kobe will be responsible for 50 points, LeBron will be responsible for 85 of them.

LeBron is on pace to match Magic and Bird. That's great company. But until he does it, it means nothing.

no he's not...by his 9th season, magic already had 5 titles. lebron has 1. he's on pace to matching dr. j, who won his first nba ring late in his career, just like lebron. dr. j did it with less, though.
M Dogg™:
We'll let his career play out. I once thought LeBron was closer to Dr. J, but when I looked up the numbers, the closest player he fit was Larry Bird. So I'll stick with that.
