best all round player in the game along wit pierce. soon will be the best player in the game no doubt. guy's an amazing ball player in all aspects of the game except for maybe not taking the game on his shoulders like Mr. 81 but thats cuz hes so unslefish that he wants to pass it, and hes so young still which is amazing.
-
unselfish? lol the dude is too scared to takeover the game
lebron is good, but he's really a combination of chris webber & vince carter. all dunks and scared to shoot the last shot
paul pierce is 2nd best, right after mr. 81
-
The difference between Lebron and the mixture of Webber and Carter is the playmaking ability.
-
props to Lebron n tha cavs,hopefully they go far in the playoffs

No way in hell is Paul Pierce beter than Lebron James
Umm...i remember last week when he took the last second shot versus some team that i can't remember lol
I agree Kobe might be on top of his game right now...but Lebron is right up there. You got no NBA knowledge whats so ever...how about you stick to lickin Jomes nuts and talkin about how much you hate G-Unit

Making the playoffs. A remarkable accomplishment in today's NBA. ;D
This is lebrons first time in the playoffs.
-
He's had an incredible season, i mean the stats are outta fuckin control for a 21 yr old kid. he does need to step it up at the end of the game, but he did cash his first-game winning shot last week so hopefully he got over that bump. the playoffs are when great players really step their game up to a higher level. maybe lebron can throw all that scared bullshit out the window come playoff time.
Playoffs baby 8)

I'm sorry, but as of now, Pierce is better and more developed than LeBron...LeBron is good, no doubt, and he'll probably be better in the near future, but I love Pierce's game...Pierce is just so much more polished and doesn't have nearly as many flaws.
As far as predictions go...
In my opinion, Cleveland is gunna finally be a strong team...Obviously, LeBron couldn't do it alone, but now he's going to have 2 all-star caliber players by his side...If they don't make the playoffs this coming season, LeBron will finally be considered a flop in my eyes...I predict Cleveland will be a 3rd or 4th seeded team with their strong line-up...Seems like this off-season is only gunna get more and more interesting...PeACe

I know. That's the joke. He made it for the FIRST time and it's some sort of big thing. 240 players make the playoffs every year.

Lebron is BETTER in points, assists, rebounds, fg %, ft %, game winners, STEALS, BLOCKS and LESS TURN OVERS than Peirce. Thats the stats alone...
and the games i've seen on tv from boston and cleveland...Lebron is a way bigger player.

ahh here it goes. another fan mad that i wouldnt grant him an interview.
lebron put up great numbers, but this was only 1 season. just like that game winner was one shot. paul pierce and kobe have both been consistant throughout there whole career. people are already saying he's better than kobe, or close to mj. cut it out man.

hey baby g...check the stats...lebrons career average is better than Paul peirces season averages this year.
now after a couple of years argueing with Kobe fans...i must admit..Lebron isn't at Kobe's level...but he's very fuckin close
Oh...and baby g, i ain't a fan...its that you have a reputation on this board, as the idiot who makes the most retardest posts about G-Unit and Jome (I don't give two shits about g-unit or Jome.) You've been sonned millions of times. Just give it up. Oh and thanks for the diss..i must of hurt your feelings ;D..don't expect anything back lol

I like your prediction and it looks like you are going to be right as Cleveland should settle right into that 4 seed in the East. But if you were really as smart as your tryin to show everyone that you are you would know that there is no way that Cleveland could be a number 3 seed because they are in the same divsion as detroit which means they couldnt be any higher then 4. the only way they could be a 3 is if they won there division and the other 2 division winners had a better record. But i guess a guy that is so good at predictin like yoursef would already know that right?

Yeah Paul Pierce is tight, but he isnt on Lebrons level for sure. Kobe is maybe the best scorer in the game (either him or Iverson), but Lebron is better as far as a passer, rebounder, floor leader. Both him and Kobe lack on D tho.

KOBE IS ALL-DEFENSIVE NBA 5 TIME, Kobe has made so many game-winning shots in his career, leading the way verbally through 3 championships, almost always steps it up in crunch time, Kobe is undisputedly on another level than LeBron, even LeBron dick-riders have admitted that, even LeBron has said it himself...He said "I don't have that killer instict that Kobe does", which means he will NEVER be as great...LeBron is known to step it down in crunch-time, he's a weak free-throw shooter (I've seen him air-ball some clutch freethrows this season), he's still young though, uncomparable to Kobe as of now...You, HOWEVER, have managed to have so much hatred for Kobe and the Lakers that you've actually put them on the same level, and actually implied that LeBron was slightly better...LMAO...You are a fuckin' joke man...I'm done with you, for now at least, until you say some more stupid shit... :-X

hey, if u dont agree with every single analyst in the league that Lebron is a better floor leader then Kobe, thats your choice. Youre a Kobe fan, what can i expect? As for the Lakers beating us this year. Good for them. So did the Hawks. So what? Its the regular season and i could careless as long as we end up at least first in the West. Im more concerned with winning a championship. I didnt come on here to talk shit about us beating u guys last night. It isnt an accomplishment for us. I responded to that retard (u know who). Using Lebrons not being clutch is silly, especially for a Kobe fan. As if u already forgot Kobes first couple years in the league. He was really clutch wasnt he? But other then scoring, there isnt ONE other offensive skill that Kobe possesses that Lebron doesnt do better. Youre only arguing cus you love Kobe so much. If i was arguing that Lebron was the next Jordan, you wouldnt argue back THIS much. So face it, youre biased (obviously) in these arguments. You can keep on with your opinion, but its just that. The opinion of a fan. As for the Knicks, i didnt think theyd be THIS bad. But i also didnt think theyd be a 3rd or 4th seed in the East. You are notorious for using this "hater" shit as your defense for everything. It usually means u dont have a real argument tho, and everyone on here knows it. Everyone sees through your bullshit...its pretty easy. The only way you would not assume everyone else is "hating" is if they come on here like you dickriders and just said over and over how GREAT Kobe is. How perfect he is. How he's the best player ever lol. But then we'd ALL sound as stupid as u do. Some of us have to balance out the board and keep the bullshit from takin over too much. Youre only argument in the Kobe/Lebron argument is his age. Lebron IS younger. But if u think Kobe was ANYwhere...i mean ANYWHERE near this mature on the court at Lebrons age then you are completely fuckin stupid. So to say Lebron will never be as "great" is retarded. The fact that at this age, there are legitimate arguments for Lebron being the best player in the league right now means a ton.

First ROund Predictions? I believe the Cavs can make the finals of the east if they're a third seed....meaning they wont have to play Pistons in the second round if everything goes right
that would mean they get past the Heat right? Hmm....i dunno about that. I see them losing in the second round.
-
I duno why, but I think the Cavs are gonna get taken out by the Wizards. I like LeBron, but I dont really think the Cavs are THAT good right now. Washington is going to be a tough matchup for the Cavs for sure tho.

isnt lebron a lot better than kobe was at his age? and lebron i think has more potetial than kobe.

isnt lebron a lot better than kobe was at his age? and lebron i think has more potetial than kobe.
easily. Kobe is very good. But for a player as old as Lebron to be able to see the floor as well as he does, and grasp the game as well as he does is amazing. Im not even a Lebron fan, but id even say that at his age...no one EVER has been at this level at this age.

^^ LOL :stupid: ...Leborn will NEVER be on kobe's level.
-
it's only natural lebron doesn't get his deserved props on a laker board
LOL that's b/c of faggots like you and teeray having the nerve to say Lebron is better then kobe.
Saying Lebron is better then kobe is no different then people saying kobe is better then Jordan.

The Lakers can still grab a 6th seed, and even if they don't end up with a high spot like I had faith that they could, EVERYONE, EVEN ANALYSTS make wrong predictions before the season starts...Are you telling me that you KNEW the Knicks would be this bad, under Larry Brown, before the season started? Even with their improvements down-low and everything?...Come on, you're straight stupid, I will shit on you any day...Knicks SHOULD have made the playoffs, especially with all the fuckin' talent on their team...Where were you when an injured Lakers beat the Spurs this year? You only came back when the Laker lost, so you can talk more shit, even though the Lakers are missing their starting center, and even though Kobe was way off and had back spasms...You're simply a Laker hater, you even say Kobe has bad D AND SAID LEBRON WAS A BETTER FLOOR LEADER...LMAO. KOBE IS ALL-DEFENSIVE NBA 5 TIME, Kobe has made so many game-winning shots in his career, leading the way verbally through 3 championships, almost always steps it up in crunch time, Kobe is undisputedly on another level than LeBron, even LeBron dick-riders have admitted that, even LeBron has said it himself...He said "I don't have that killer instict that Kobe does", which means he will NEVER be as great...LeBron is known to step it down in crunch-time, he's a weak free-throw shooter (I've seen him air-ball some clutch freethrows this season), he's still young though, uncomparable to Kobe as of now...You, HOWEVER, have managed to have so much hatred for Kobe and the Lakers that you've actually put them on the same level, and actually implied that LeBron was slightly better...LMAO...You are a fuckin' joke man...I'm done with you, for now at least, until you say some more stupid shit... :-X
hey, if u dont agree with every single analyst in the league that Lebron is a better floor leader then Kobe, thats your choice. Youre a Kobe fan, what can i expect? As for the Lakers beating us this year. Good for them. So did the Hawks. So what? Its the regular season and i could careless as long as we end up at least first in the West. Im more concerned with winning a championship. I didnt come on here to talk shit about us beating u guys last night. It isnt an accomplishment for us. I responded to that retard (u know who). Using Lebrons not being clutch is silly, especially for a Kobe fan. As if u already forgot Kobes first couple years in the league. He was really clutch wasnt he? But other then scoring, there isnt ONE other offensive skill that Kobe possesses that Lebron doesnt do better. Youre only arguing cus you love Kobe so much. If i was arguing that Lebron was the next Jordan, you wouldnt argue back THIS much. So face it, youre biased (obviously) in these arguments. You can keep on with your opinion, but its just that. The opinion of a fan. As for the Knicks, i didnt think theyd be THIS bad. But i also didnt think theyd be a 3rd or 4th seed in the East. You are notorious for using this "hater" shit as your defense for everything. It usually means u dont have a real argument tho, and everyone on here knows it. Everyone sees through your bullshit...its pretty easy. The only way you would not assume everyone else is "hating" is if they come on here like you dickriders and just said over and over how GREAT Kobe is. How perfect he is. How he's the best player ever lol. But then we'd ALL sound as stupid as u do. Some of us have to balance out the board and keep the bullshit from takin over too much. Youre only argument in the Kobe/Lebron argument is his age. Lebron IS younger. But if u think Kobe was ANYwhere...i mean ANYWHERE near this mature on the court at Lebrons age then you are completely fuckin stupid. So to say Lebron will never be as "great" is retarded. The fact that at this age, there are legitimate arguments for Lebron being the best player in the league right now means a ton.
LMAO! I never heard that LeBron was a better floor leader from "every single NBA analyst"...In fact, I've heard the complete opposite. Yes, LeBron gets the players more involved, is more unselfish (which he shouldn't be if he wants to be one of the greatest), is a better rebounder than Kobe...But so is Lamar Odom...LMAO. Bryant is still in another league and is a way better floor leader. Kobe is so verbal with his guys, always telling them their position in the triangle, where they messed up, where they did great, he's almost like a coach out there, an extension of Phil Jackson...LeBron is nothing like that from the games I've seen him in. Kobe also was always clutch, LMAO, how can you compare Kobe in his first few years in the league to LeBron, Kobe wasn't even a top 5 option at first, LeBron is 3 years in the league and is the team leader, airballing clutch free-throws. They had to take LeBron out and put Ilgauskas in to shoot the free throws in so many close games. I am not notorious for using "hater", it just seems that way to you because you're a fuckin' hater (it's obvious), and I call you out on it so much...In fact, I'm not the only one here who knows you're a hater. Especially a Kobe/Laker hater. Stevie Wonder with his fuckin' eyeballs bleeding could see you were a hater. Come on man, you have made ridiculous comments regarding Kobe, including that he'd prefer to score more than to win (LMFAOOOO!)...You hop on every players dick who challanges Kobe for best all-around player in the league, and no matter what, you'll say they're better than Kobe and defend them to the death. H A T E R. And I haven't called anyone a hater on here since the last time we had a discussion...I don't think anyone here takes you seriously anyways, you say the dumbest shit ever, even LeBron fans/Kobe haters have admitted that Kobe is on another level. Even LeBron himself says hes not as good as Kobe and that he doesn't have that "killer instinct", which makes Kobe so great...I remember when Kobe was 22, people were saying he was WAY better than Jordan was at 22. LeBron is getting dick-ridden by the media and the league, who are obviously looking for the next best/marketable thing...You're right there with them like a dumbfuck. And to say LeBron will never be as great as Kobe is very reasonable, especially since LeBron admitted to not having that killer instinct, and because I can never see LeBron having the ability to score 81 or do some of the great shit Kobe has done...Kobe vs. Someone. YOU will always be on that other persons dick, only because of the hate you posess for Kobe, and that's why YOU'RE a hater...PeACe

Saying Lebron is better then kobe is no different then people saying kobe is better then Jordan.
Fuck that man...Kobe is closer to Jordan than LeBron is to Kobe...
-
lebron had a good game today. 47 pts on 16-25 shooting, 12 reb and 10 assist and more importantly the win.
-
I don't see why people should get so offended. Not one single player right now is near Jordan's status. Not Kobe, not Lebron, etc. Jordan never took stupid shots that causes his shooting percentage to go down. Are people that blind to see the difference? It amazes me to see how people forget why Jordan was actually great.
Basically, Lebron will never get his props until his career is finished. That's just sad, who gives a shit who's more remembered, if you enjoy basketball I dont see why people shouldnt be excited about a 21 year old with 10 Career Triple Doubles. There's a double standard if people say Kobe can reach Jordan's level, but Lebron will never amount to Kobe's level.

unselfish? lol the dude is too scared to takeover the game
lebron is good, but he's really a combination of chris webber & vince carter. all dunks and scared to shoot the last shot
paul pierce is 2nd best, right after mr. 81
No way in hell is Paul Pierce beter than Lebron James
Umm...i remember last week when he took the last second shot versus some team that i can't remember lol
I agree Kobe might be on top of his game right now...but Lebron is right up there. You got no NBA knowledge whats so ever...how about you stick to lickin Jomes nuts and talkin about how much you hate G-Unit
I'm sorry, but as of now, Pierce is better and more developed than LeBron...LeBron is good, no doubt, and he'll probably be better in the near future, but I love Pierce's game...Pierce is just so much more polished and doesn't have nearly as many flaws.
As far as predictions go...
In my opinion, Cleveland is gunna finally be a strong team...Obviously, LeBron couldn't do it alone, but now he's going to have 2 all-star caliber players by his side...If they don't make the playoffs this coming season, LeBron will finally be considered a flop in my eyes...I predict Cleveland will be a 3rd or 4th seeded team with their strong line-up...Seems like this off-season is only gunna get more and more interesting...PeACe

I like your prediction and it looks like you are going to be right as Cleveland should settle right into that 4 seed in the East.

im not really gonna read your whole post. but your first line proves u havent been paying attention ALL year to what people, analysts, etc are saying. Youre so obviously blinded by your own love for Kobe. Even Doug Collins said it during the Laker/Cavs game.....and Collins loves Kobe. The exact quote "the only real difference between the two right now is that i think Lebron sees the floor a little better the Kobe". Like someone else said, no one right now is near Jordans status. But Kobe is over halfway through with his career and he isnt close. Lebron has just started.

Are people that blind to see the difference? It amazes me to see how people forget why Jordan was actually great.
LMFAO! Are you stupid? Jordan was KNOWN for forcing his own shots too much when he was young and Phil even questioned him a few times about his shot selection. Jordan just didn't shoot as many three's (he wasn't good at 'em), that's about IT. Jordan didn't get to his wisest until his 30's...Kobe is already getting more mature every season, and is really giving Jordan a run for his money...Kobe will win more championships, I believe he has a good chance to surpass Jordan, way greater than anyone elses ...PeACe

kobe forced shots as well during his rookie yr and sophomore yr.

Jordan's FG% through his Rookie Year to the Age of 28
.515
.457 (Season was Cut Short)
.482
.535
.538
.526
.539
.519
Yeah, if he's forcing shot yet still shooting over 50%...just shows you how legendary Jordan is. Kobe hasnt even sniffed 50% in a season

Smart guy, it's known that Kobe shoots WAY more three's than Jordan ever did (Jordan was no good from behind the arc), which is what brings down his percentage, Phil Jackson said the same thing...PeACe
-
Fine let's take eFG% into the equation lol.
I'll just have Jordan's career eFG% vs Kobe's current career eFG%, which values Three Pointers and Ignores Free Throws
Jordan .509
Kobe .480
Or how about TS% which adds Three Pointers and Free Throws
Jordan .569
Kobe .550
And Jordan's last two years really affected his overall career average in both of these figures.

THERE YOU GO! So they're NOT far off...LMAO. Add the fact that Kobe WILL get wiser/better and the fact that Kobe's first few years in the league were out of high school playing off the bench behind Eddie Jones, and it's more than evened out...Now try again. :-*

what are lebrons eFG?
Oh and btw...Lebrons on pace to average 30, 7, 7
1 of only THREE players to ever do that
-
There is a huge difference, a guard's TS%, FG%, and eFG% go way down after the age of 28 because they don't drive the ball as often as they used to when they're in their 20s. Jordan would actually consistently reach a TS% of .600 for four straight years in his prime, Kobe still hasnt reach that and will most likely not reach that. Unless Kobe has super human powers, he's going to lose speed after turning 28 and he will not be able to drive the ball as much and the Career TS% will continue to grow apart between Kobe and Michael.
-
Who cares about Jordan. Kobe is doing his own thing. with the 81 pts he's already 1 of the best 25 players all time. By the time it's all set and done he'll be the GOAT 8)
-
Lebrons eFG is 51.3 and TS% is 56.7
-
Lebron is a great player but he hasn't done shit in the playoffs.
He's never been in pressure situations in the playoffs like Kobe.
He's never come through in the clutch in the playoffs like kobe.
He's never been down by 15 pts in the 4th quarter in gm 7 of the WCF like kobe.
He's never gone on the road for a gm 7 in the WCF like kobe.
Lets just wait and see what happens w/ him. Let him earn it like kobe 8) 8)
-
He didn't do it alone either.
-
??? Your post didn't make sense. Did i lie? everything i said is true. 8)
-
It made perfect sense: Kobe did'nt do any of that alone
-
LOL That's what you think. Show me where i said kobe did it by himself. All i said was 'Lebron hasn't gone through the stuff kobe has gone through'. That's all i said. :P
-
Basically your point is that kobe has been in the league longer then...that's pretty obvious lol. You know you're implying that Kobe was the reason the Lakers were successful in all of those occasions
-
Im afraid LeBron pulls off a Garnett and ruins his career by being loyal to his team and thus staying in Cleveland
-
He didn't do it alone either.
LMAO. And Jordan did? ^^Former Laker fan turned Dodger fan for ya.
Jordan>Kobe>>>LeBron.
Does LeBron's eFG indicate that he's better than Jordan (since it's higher)? No. You can't tell players by stats, it's their performance and achievments that projects greatness... when watching LeBron and Kobe play together, it is clear who is the more experienced/better player. When watching old tapes of Jordan in his 20's, you can tell that Kobe is very much like Jordan and has improved faster than Jordan. So what if Jordan has done things Kobe hasn't? It goes the other way as well, Kobe has done things Jordan couldn't too...LeBron is good on paper, but when you watch him play, he doesn't look polished, not even close to Jordan/Kobe/Magic/Bird status...PeACe
-
Baseball and Basketball are two differnt sports.
Jordan's eFG has been way higher than Lebron's. That's all that you can come up with against Lebron, is his experience. That is all, if you want to give Kobe the chance to reach Jordan's level than you shouldnt ignore Lebron's potential which you clearly do. Your judging Lebron like if he's had the same number of years int he league as Kobe has, that's a horrible way to evaluate a player.
Don't pretend NIK please, don't act like Kobe was the main star during the Laker Run. If you love to evaluate their achievements how's this one for ya...
Jordan 6 NBA Finals MVPs
Kobe 0 NBA Finals MVPs
Lebron 0 NBA Finals MVPs
Until Kobe can prove he can carry a team by himself, which he hasnt and you cant argue this. Now that the stats have proved you wrong, you go out and say it isn't all about the numbers. Well the numbers clearly indicate why Jordan was great along with his clutch factor.
-
Nobody is arguing that Jordan>Kobe>Lebron is any different, pay attention to what some people are saying. There's a double standard that Kobe can reach Jordan's level but Lebron can't do shit. That's the point of the arguement
-
Lebron is a great player but he hasn't done shit in the playoffs.
He's never been in pressure situations in the playoffs like Kobe.
He's never come through in the clutch in the playoffs like kobe.
He's never been down by 15 pts in the 4th quarter in gm 7 of the WCF like kobe.
He's never gone on the road for a gm 7 in the WCF like kobe.
Lets just wait and see what happens w/ him. Let him earn it like kobe 8) 8)
He's never been in the playoffs to prove so. Shaq helped Kobe, Kobe helped SHaq...nuff said

Yea, well you're missing the point yourself. LeBron said himself that he DOESN'T have the killer instinct that Kobe has, and that's what seperates them. That same killer instinct which Jordan had, it's in Kobe, it's no where to be found in LeBron...Come on man, I put Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Carmelo Anthony all in the same category. That is great players of today. Kobe, even if he ends his career today, will be one of the greatest of all time, no MATTER WHAT. Shaq carried the Lakers up until 2001, after that, Kobe was running mostly everything while Shaq was slacking off, showing up to camp overweight, not performing like he could...That's what got Shaq jealous, when he realized that the Lakers was becoming Kobe's team...And what Kobe is doing now, leading a bunch of young players who have no NBA experience to the NBA playoffs is amazing, no other way to describe it...Do you for a second think that LeBron James can lead a starting 5 which includes Smush Parker (previously an NBDL player), Brian Cook (a bench warmer his whole career), and Kwame Brown (Bust? :nawty:) to the playoffs? HELLLLLL NO!...Kobe is great, Kobe is the greatest thing in basketball right now...I'm not saying LeBron doesn't have a chance to be as great, I'm just saying that he hasn't proved so as of yet...PeACe
-
unselfish? lol the dude is too scared to takeover the game
lebron is good, but he's really a combination of chris webber & vince carter. all dunks and scared to shoot the last shot
paul pierce is 2nd best, right after mr. 81
No way in hell is Paul Pierce beter than Lebron James
Umm...i remember last week when he took the last second shot versus some team that i can't remember lol
I agree Kobe might be on top of his game right now...but Lebron is right up there. You got no NBA knowledge whats so ever...how about you stick to lickin Jomes nuts and talkin about how much you hate G-Unit
I'm sorry, but as of now, Pierce is better and more developed than LeBron...LeBron is good, no doubt, and he'll probably be better in the near future, but I love Pierce's game...Pierce is just so much more polished and doesn't have nearly as many flaws.
As far as predictions go...
In my opinion, Cleveland is gunna finally be a strong team...Obviously, LeBron couldn't do it alone, but now he's going to have 2 all-star caliber players by his side...If they don't make the playoffs this coming season, LeBron will finally be considered a flop in my eyes...I predict Cleveland will be a 3rd or 4th seeded team with their strong line-up...Seems like this off-season is only gunna get more and more interesting...PeACe
http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=81407.0
I like your prediction and it looks like you are going to be right as Cleveland should settle right into that 4 seed in the East.
Some more brilliant predictions by NIK Cleo....
NIK on the Lakers~
"I believe the Lakers will shock everyone with a huge improvement and even a high spot in the playoff seeding"
oooh....and the best one yet!
NIK on the Knicks~
"There is no doubt in my mind that this team will make the playoffs and maybe even secure as high as a 3rd or 4th seed"
ouch...
:nahnah2:
LMAO. So what? The Lakers can still grab a 6th seed, and even if they don't end up with a high spot like I had faith that they could, EVERYONE, EVEN ANALYSTS make wrong predictions before the season starts...Are you telling me that you KNEW the Knicks would be this bad, under Larry Brown, before the season started? Even with their improvements down-low and everything?...Come on, you're straight stupid, I will shit on you any day...Knicks SHOULD have made the playoffs, especially with all the fuckin' talent on their team...Where were you when an injured Lakers beat the Spurs this year? You only came back when the Laker lost, so you can talk more shit, even though the Lakers are missing their starting center, and even though Kobe was way off and had back spasms...You're simply a Laker hater, you even say Kobe has bad D AND SAID LEBRON WAS A BETTER FLOOR LEADER...LMAO. KOBE IS ALL-DEFENSIVE NBA 5 TIME, Kobe has made so many game-winning shots in his career, leading the way verbally through 3 championships, almost always steps it up in crunch time, Kobe is undisputedly on another level than LeBron, even LeBron dick-riders have admitted that, even LeBron has said it himself...He said "I don't have that killer instict that Kobe does", which means he will NEVER be as great...LeBron is known to step it down in crunch-time, he's a weak free-throw shooter (I've seen him air-ball some clutch freethrows this season), he's still young though, uncomparable to Kobe as of now...You, HOWEVER, have managed to have so much hatred for Kobe and the Lakers that you've actually put them on the same level, and actually implied that LeBron was slightly better...LMAO...You are a fuckin' joke man...I'm done with you, for now at least, until you say some more stupid shit... :-X
hey, if u dont agree with every single analyst in the league that Lebron is a better floor leader then Kobe, thats your choice. Youre a Kobe fan, what can i expect? As for the Lakers beating us this year. Good for them. So did the Hawks. So what? Its the regular season and i could careless as long as we end up at least first in the West. Im more concerned with winning a championship. I didnt come on here to talk shit about us beating u guys last night. It isnt an accomplishment for us. I responded to that retard (u know who). Using Lebrons not being clutch is silly, especially for a Kobe fan. As if u already forgot Kobes first couple years in the league. He was really clutch wasnt he? But other then scoring, there isnt ONE other offensive skill that Kobe possesses that Lebron doesnt do better. Youre only arguing cus you love Kobe so much. If i was arguing that Lebron was the next Jordan, you wouldnt argue back THIS much. So face it, youre biased (obviously) in these arguments. You can keep on with your opinion, but its just that. The opinion of a fan. As for the Knicks, i didnt think theyd be THIS bad. But i also didnt think theyd be a 3rd or 4th seed in the East. You are notorious for using this "hater" shit as your defense for everything. It usually means u dont have a real argument tho, and everyone on here knows it. Everyone sees through your bullshit...its pretty easy. The only way you would not assume everyone else is "hating" is if they come on here like you dickriders and just said over and over how GREAT Kobe is. How perfect he is. How he's the best player ever lol. But then we'd ALL sound as stupid as u do. Some of us have to balance out the board and keep the bullshit from takin over too much. Youre only argument in the Kobe/Lebron argument is his age. Lebron IS younger. But if u think Kobe was ANYwhere...i mean ANYWHERE near this mature on the court at Lebrons age then you are completely fuckin stupid. So to say Lebron will never be as "great" is retarded. The fact that at this age, there are legitimate arguments for Lebron being the best player in the league right now means a ton.
LMAO! I never heard that LeBron was a better floor leader from "every single NBA analyst"...In fact, I've heard the complete opposite. Yes, LeBron gets the players more involved, is more unselfish (which he shouldn't be if he wants to be one of the greatest), is a better rebounder than Kobe...But so is Lamar Odom...LMAO. Bryant is still in another league and is a way better floor leader. Kobe is so verbal with his guys, always telling them their position in the triangle, where they messed up, where they did great, he's almost like a coach out there, an extension of Phil Jackson...LeBron is nothing like that from the games I've seen him in. Kobe also was always clutch, LMAO, how can you compare Kobe in his first few years in the league to LeBron, Kobe wasn't even a top 5 option at first, LeBron is 3 years in the league and is the team leader, airballing clutch free-throws. They had to take LeBron out and put Ilgauskas in to shoot the free throws in so many close games. I am not notorious for using "hater", it just seems that way to you because you're a fuckin' hater (it's obvious), and I call you out on it so much...In fact, I'm not the only one here who knows you're a hater. Especially a Kobe/Laker hater. Stevie Wonder with his fuckin' eyeballs bleeding could see you were a hater. Come on man, you have made ridiculous comments regarding Kobe, including that he'd prefer to score more than to win (LMFAOOOO!)...You hop on every players dick who challanges Kobe for best all-around player in the league, and no matter what, you'll say they're better than Kobe and defend them to the death. H A T E R. And I haven't called anyone a hater on here since the last time we had a discussion...I don't think anyone here takes you seriously anyways, you say the dumbest shit ever, even LeBron fans/Kobe haters have admitted that Kobe is on another level. Even LeBron himself says hes not as good as Kobe and that he doesn't have that "killer instinct", which makes Kobe so great...I remember when Kobe was 22, people were saying he was WAY better than Jordan was at 22. LeBron is getting dick-ridden by the media and the league, who are obviously looking for the next best/marketable thing...You're right there with them like a dumbfuck. And to say LeBron will never be as great as Kobe is very reasonable, especially since LeBron admitted to not having that killer instinct, and because I can never see LeBron having the ability to score 81 or do some of the great shit Kobe has done...Kobe vs. Someone. YOU will always be on that other persons dick, only because of the hate you posess for Kobe, and that's why YOU'RE a hater...PeACe
im not really gonna read your whole post. but your first line proves u havent been paying attention ALL year to what people, analysts, etc are saying. Youre so obviously blinded by your own love for Kobe. Even Doug Collins said it during the Laker/Cavs game.....and Collins loves Kobe. The exact quote "the only real difference between the two right now is that i think Lebron sees the floor a little better the Kobe". Like someone else said, no one right now is near Jordans status. But Kobe is over halfway through with his career and he isnt close. Lebron has just started.
Doug Collins loves Kobe? LOLLLLL!...Doug Collins is about as big a LeBron dick-rider as there is. Everyone has been saying how Kobe is on his OWN level, I hear it everywhere, even today during the TNT post game, Scottie Pippen said it, Mark Jackson, the announcers...You obviously don't like Kobe, everyone out there says Kobe is the closest thing to Jordan we've seen since Jordan, but only you can't see that, because you're blinded by your own hate...You even said you didn't read my whole post, in which I made great points, and that's why you don't understand shit...PeACe
when people say Kobe is the "closest thing to Jordan", they are talking about their STYLE of play. Not about how "great Kobe is". I usually never compare Lebron to Jordan, because their styles dont match up. Kobe's style is completely patterned after Jordan. That doesnt mean he is close to being as good as MJ...it means his STYLE is similar. And if u havent heard Doug Collins "dick-ride" Kobe like u say he does Lebron, you must not watch much basketball. He just gave a nonbiased opinion and i quoted it is all. As for me not reading your post....its amazing how often u compliment YOURSELF on your "great points". No one else seems to think u make any "great points". Your ONLY argument is always that people are "kobe hating". lol thats a childish argument. Almost as childish as your sig. You have this menatality that everyone hates on you, hates on Kobe, hates on the Lakers. lol Grow up homie. The Lakers never have, and never will be "the bad guys". There is no conspiracy to hate on the Lakers, or Kobe. They are just one team in the NBA, whos not as good as they were a few years ago. Deal with it. You just cant deal with your team no longer being ontop of the world since Shaq left. All teams go up, and down. We were champions last year, maybe will be this year. And have been more successful, since Duncan hit the league, then any other franchise. That doesnt mean that 3 years from now we wont be a .500 team. Who knows. But i wont come on here calling everyone a bunch of "Duncan haters" lol.

Fine let's take eFG% into the equation lol.
I'll just have Jordan's career eFG% vs Kobe's current career eFG%, which values Three Pointers and Ignores Free Throws
Jordan .509
Kobe .480
Or how about TS% which adds Three Pointers and Free Throws
Jordan .569
Kobe .550
And Jordan's last two years really affected his overall career average in both of these figures.
THERE YOU GO! So they're NOT far off...LMAO. Add the fact that Kobe WILL get wiser/better and the fact that Kobe's first few years in the league were out of high school playing off the bench behind Eddie Jones, and it's more than evened out...Now try again. :-*
its very difficult to use percentages when one player has played a whole career, and another is halfway through. Id be willing to bet that Jordans percentage from the field dipped towards the end of his career as he turned more into a fadeaway/outside shooter then as a slasher like he was in the beginning. He was taking it to the rim far more in the beginning of his career. That means higher percentage shots. Kobe is in the middle of his career, he hasnt gone through that stage yet where he needs to change his game as his athletisism diminishes. So for Kobe, this is the highest his shooting percentage should be (for a whole career), because he's basically in his prime. So if there was ever a time where he would need to be higher then Jordans, it would be as of now. He's not. Which means more then likely he will lose further ground as his career goes on.

how come when i said Kobe didnt do a good job "leading his team" last year. You blamed the coach, and said that the coach wasnt doing their job. Now that the team makes the playoffs, its Kobe who is the leader again, and he's doing an amazing job lol. This is why u look silly and like a hypocrit. When things go bad, its not because of Kobe's "leadership" (or lack thereof), but when things go good, its "kobe's leadership" shining through LOL.

You're an idiot if you think Kobe isn't the most hated superstar in the league. You're an idiot if you think the refs haven't been fucking Kobe over in the month of March (compare his free-throw attempt average in the month of March to any other month). You're an idiot just because you are...You can't seem to grasp the fact that out there the media likes to creat a good guy, a saviour so to speak (LeBron James), and a bad guy, the heel (Kobe Bryant)...You're honestly telling me you don't see this? LMAO. Of course you don't, because you're a fuckin hater yourself, and even if you did, it's not like you'd admit it...Not everyone is a Kobe hater, there are a share of supporters...Come to think of it, you're probably the only (or one of the only) Kobe haters on WCC...Nobody hates on Duncan, in fact, nobody gives a fuck about him cuz he's so basic...Kobe is very controversial, he gets hated on by the media for Shaq's departure, his rape-case, his cocky attitude, etc. 'til this day...But what are we trying to establish here? Nothing really, it's all a matter of opinion, and in my opinion (and many others), Kobe is easily the closest thing to Jordan (in greatness and style of play) since Jordan...PeACe

I'm willing to bet that Kobe's fg% will only get higher, as he'll take wiser shots...I'm also willing to bet he won't be in his prime until he reaches 30. Jordan was at his best when he was in his 30's, lots of great players take years of experience to perfect their game to it's full potential. Kobe will get better...

Actually, I'm pretty positive that I said you can't win without a coach, which you can't...Who draws up the plays? Who chooes the offense? The defense? It's not the players now, is it?...OF COURSE Lakers are gunna be a better team with Phil running the show, you even manage to somehow twist that into a way to hate on Kobe...LMAO. I've said it all year long, Phil Jackson+Kobe Bryant=Money. What's so hard to understand? You're a fuckin' moron...PeACe
-
Kobe's not going to get a higher shooting percentage after the age of 30. This is not possible for obvious reasons. The only way it's possible is that he's on a team that has 2-3 superstars to share the ball with and he can't be the primary scorer either, that's the only way.

You say it is not possible, how would you know? That's what I call hating, you've already declared that it's not possible, as it clearly is...I'll bet you ANYTHING Kobe's percentage is higher next year, and even higher the year after that...PeACe
-
So you think Kobe will be the first player in the history of the game to have higher FG percentage as he ages and still remain the team's primary scoring option? It's not hating man, this is commons sense when it comes to basketball. Like teeray said, he's not gonna drive to the basket as often, I stated that earlier as well. Players lose foot speed as they age, not one single player will ever continue to have the same speed he had in his 20s. It's not just Kobe we're talking about but eveyr single basketball player.

I bet Kobe won't be jackin' up as many three's with the shot clock winding' down, or fadeaway turnarounds when he's 30...I think he will get wiser and have a better shot selection as he matures...John Stockton did it, many players have, why can't Kobe? I think you're just hating by simply writing Kobe off like that...I think you're still butt-hurt over the Shaq trade... :-*

So what if he loses foot-speed? I see Kobe taking a lot more set shots, maybe playing the small forward position a lot more in his 30's...It's all a matter of opinion, and yours is just more anti-Kobe than pro. Kobe CAN get better with age. Jordan did it, Kobe can do it too...PeACe
-
Jordan didn't raise his shooting percentage though. I'm pointing out what any player will go through in their career, I'm not being anti-Kobe. Here I'll use another example.
Lebron after the age of 30 will not be able to drive to basket as he did through out his 20s. Therefore, although he might take smarter shots, he'll still decline in any shooting percentage category.
Or even better...
Primary Scoring Guard X after the age of 30 will not be able to drive to basket as he did through out his 20s. Therefore, although he might take smarter shots, he'll still decline in any shooting percentage category.
Jordan consistently reached in the .600% area of his True Shooting %, after the age of 30 though the closest he got to .600 was .582%

Look man, your argument makes no sense...Kobe's shooting percentage (without the three's) as of now would be pretty close to Jordan's... Just because he loses speed doesn't mean he won't gain knowledge, understand the game better, take better shots, etc...There is no reason he wont be able to hit 47% from the field or so in his 30's...I honestly believe he will do it...PeACe
-
How does my arguement make no sense when it's true? His improved shooting skills will not make up for the fact that's not going to get that many lay ups/dunks as he did in his 20s.

How bout them Dodgers.

If he plays the small forward position, which I presume he will, he'll get just as many lay-ups dunks off assists as he did in his slashing days. You think that your opinion is fact...YOU DON'T KNOW IF KOBE WILL IMPROVE HIS PERCENTAGE, NOBODY KNOWS, IT'S ALL STIPULATION. THE PROBLEM WITH YOU IS THAT YOU'RE SO SURE THAT YOUR STIPULATION IS THE CORRECT ONE...PeACe
-
Welll excuse me for believing in the information of scoring guards from the last 25 years, including Jordan. I'm expecting the trend to continue, you're hoping for a miracle. His best chance to reach 47% will be these next 2 years.

And please continue to misinterpret what I exactly said. 25 Years of Stats is much more reliable than what your opinion is of Kobe Bryant.

25 years of stats don't mean shit when it comes to greatness...You're saying Kobe will shoot less than 44% for the next 5-7 years? LMFAO. To me, that simply doesn't seem likely and seems like a statement someone who WANTS to see Kobe fail would make...I know how Kobe plays, he will get better...PeACe

Michael Jordan
At Age, FG%
26 .526
27 .539
28 .519
29 .495
32 .495
33 .486
34 .465
eFG and TS% also went down
You said "Jordan was at his best when he was in his 30's" Of course his shooting skills got better, but his percentages still went down. Since you say you know Kobe so well, what kind of super human power will he acquire to shoot better percentage in his 30s compared to his 20s?

Like I said, I see him taking wiser shots, jacking up way less 30+ foot 3's, less miracle shots with the shot-clock winding down, etc...I see him playing in the small-forward position at times, enabling him to get easier looks off assists etc...I don't think anything I'm saying sounds absurd and I've repeated it numerou times. Why is what I'm saying so unreasonable to you?...LOL.

How bout them Dodgers.
lol. you get a +1 for comic relief.
lebron had another great game today wit 35+ points and i think its the 7th straight game hes done that which is the longest consecutive streak this yr.
both players r doing good right now and better than expected. kobe is leading a team all by himself mainly through scoring and lebron is leading histeam as well in diff categories. as of today theres no doubt Kobe is the better player. more experience, more accoldades so far etc. lebron has more potential and at his age is better than both kobe and jordan. when comparing numbers at the end of his career i think kobes would relfect jordans #'s more while lebron's would be more in line wit a player like magic where he would have less pts but more boards and assists. most likely more pts than magic but less assists.

You're confusing shooting percentage with the raw ability to shoot.

I'm not confusing anything, it's simply what I think...
