I put up the STATS in your Kobe vs. Lebron thread making you look like a damn FOOL, and you go and delete it!!! It's all gravy baby! I understand you just got pissed because the FACTS poke all kinds of holes in your little story saying "Kobe is 100% better than Lebron".
I'll just go ahead and re-post them all!
Lebron James 08-09 season averages: 28.4 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 7.2 APG, 1.1 BPG, 6.3 DEF, 3P% @ 34
Playoff Averages: 35.3 PPG, 8.6 RPG, 6.9 APG, 0.8 BPG, 7.4 DEF, 3P% @ 34
Kobe Bryant 08-09 season averages: 26.8 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 4.9 APG, 0.4 BPG, 4.1 DEF, 3P% @ 35
Playoff Averages: 29.8 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 4.4 APG, 0.8 BPG, 4.3 DEF, 3P% @ 35
the bold areas are the stats Kobe and Lebron are virtually equal in. Other than that, every stat from this season INCLUDING the Playoffs goes to King James, not the Black Mamba.
and I'll just go ahead and also quote Jerry West, the man who BROUGHT Kobe Bryant to the L.A. Lakers: "I do think LeBron has surpassed Kobe as a player."
but for the record, I fucking hate the city of Cleveland and would much rather live in L.A. I'm not even a "Kobe hater", like so many others. I'll give Kobe his dues, but I'm not going to blind myself and still believe Kobe is out performing Lebron James. Kobe has always been a strictly offensive cat, and Lebron does it on both ends of the floor. Sure, you want Kobe to have the ball in his hands before Lebron when it comes to offense, but I'd rather have Lebron guarding any other star player if he's got the ball in his hands trying to make the game-winning shot. You might also consider this: one or two years from now, Lebron could very well be just as good a closer as Kobe has ever been. Check the numbers, watch the games: Lebron James keeps getting better in every area of his game. He hasn't even hit his peak yet.
Other than being "the best closer in the game", Kobe has taken the back seat to Lebron. Just check the highlight reel.
