Lebron James Scoring Watch

[crc21209]

3:14 left in the 1st quarter and Lebrons got 17 points on 5-7 shooting already, anyone think he'll go for the record?

[mystargtr34]

I came here to make this thread - i think hes goin for it.

Dont think he will get it though, theyre gonna blow the Knicks out.

[DrHouse]

Wait I thought Lebron didn't care about scoring a lot of pts?

[crc21209]

lol I think Lebron cares, he wants to have the greatest scoring record in the greatest arena. He's got 20 points at the end of the 1st. I think he'll come close, not sure if he'll get it.

[crc21209]

If he has about 40 points by halftime somehow, I say he gets it.

[Rogue]

Lebron intends to strongly impress the fans of knicks team which he is going to join in 10.

[mystargtr34]

If he has about 40 points by halftime somehow, I say he gets it.

If the game stays close, say within 10, he has a good shot.

[dirk4mvp]

Wait I thought Lebron didn't care about scoring a lot of pts?

As much as the media sucks these 2 off as the best in the game, it's not that hard to see they have a friendly rivalry going on.

[dirk4mvp]

Reggie Miller was right about those gay ass NY fans.

[IronMexican]

LeBron torching the team he is soon to play for.

[crc21209]

NY keeping it close 40-31.

[crc21209]

In other news, the Raptors are beating LA by 5 at halftime, I think LA's lack of size is showing a little bit in the game. Bargnani, Bosh, and J. O' Neal are eating them up each one has 12, 12 and 16 points.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

If he has about 40 points by halftime somehow, I say he gets it.

If Cleveland scores more points than NY, I say they win it.

[Brazil]

Wait I thought Lebron didn't care about scoring a lot of pts?

Lebron is capable to play the last minute of a game even with a lead of 30 to ensure he has good numbers.

[crc21209]

43-42 Cle with 5:22 left, Lebron with 22...

[mystargtr34]

DrHouse's sphincter has loosened a bit during the second quarter. LeBron only has 24.

[crc21209]

Alright so 57-52 Cleveland at half, Lebron with 28. Anyone think he can score 34 points in a half? lol.

[pawe]

Now, when did this trend of whoring on the scoring record at MSG started? I dont think he's gonna break it..he's no Matt Bonner.

[nkdlunch]

those NY crowds can't get enough dick. First Kobe now Bronze

[IronMexican]

Kobe really chanelled his inner Odom at the end of the third.

[crc21209]

lol Lebron with 34 now 9:53 in the 3rd.

[Kobayagi]

It'd be fun if Harrington outscored both LeBron and Kobe.

[DAF86]

36 pts 8 rbds 7 assts 7:30 to go in the third, fucking monster I'm telling you.

LeBron praises MSG fans before Cavs game (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=lebronpraisesmsgfansbefo&prov=tsn&type=lgns)
By Bill Eichenberger

NEW YORK—What would LeBron James do if he were the general manager of an NBA team and had to decide whether to spend now or cut salary to put his team in position to make a run at big-ticket free agents such as himself in 2010?

That was the question before Wednesday’s Cavs-Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, and James’ response was typically nuanced.

“If I was in that position where I felt our team was geared for the future and not the present, I would try to put myself in position where at least I had a chance to get a big-market player,” he said. “But you still want to win games. You don’t want to crash on the season that you have and disrespect the players that you have. But you always want to think toward the future. It would be a tough decision for me.”

Unlike his last visit to New York during which he was bombarded with questions about his interest in signing with the Knicks, that question was as close as anyone in a media contingent of about 75 came to that topic on Wednesday.

However, in response to another question, James praised Garden fans for their willingness to acknowledge an outstanding performance by an opposing player, whether it was Kobe Bryant on his Garden record-setting 61-point effort on Monday or James’ 50-point effort a year ago.

“One thing you can say about these fans is they love the game of basketball,” James said. “They’ve seen great players and performances. And they are going to cheer when they see greatness.”

In response to another question about whether the Cavs are getting the respect they deserve as legitimate title contenders, James lashed out at the all-star selection process, saying it was “a total slap in the face” to the Cavs that he is their only all-star.

“You look at the Lakers, they have two all-stars; Orlando, two all-stars; Boston, two-all-stars, San Antonio, two all-stars. These are all the teams in the league with really good records. Then you look at us, one all-star.”

James added that he was honored the Steelers’ Santonio Holmes celebrated his game-winning touchdown catch in the Super Bowl by mimicking James’ trademark tossing of the chalk.

“For him to think of that are making probably one of the best plays in the history of the Super Bowl, it was humbling for myself,” James said. “It was like, wow. For him to salute me like that was unbelievable.”

[stretch]

imagine if he both breaks kobes record and gets a triple double in the process... kobe knobslobbers like allanon, drhouse, and those other fags will probably start a shitstorm of threads saying it wasnt impressive as kobes 61

[stretch]

LMAO kobe had 3 assists and zero rebounds that game too

and if he doesnt get 61 there will be a shitstorm of "better luck next time" threads by those same fags, LOL

What game where you watching? when he clearly attacked the basket time after time (1st Q) the Cavs were up by double digits when he started playing "team basketball" was when NY came back.

Fucking LA, lucked out. Bosh goes out, LA takes the lead. I think LA loses tomorrow to Boston though, Boston's fresh and waiting.

[IronMexican]

Someone mentioned the game so I just decided to use it as the GD thread. Off to Boston with tired legs.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Thank god he's not gonna get it, no one needs a week of ESPN nut-hugging Lebron and comparing him to MJ nonstop.....wait.....that already happens....fuck.

[IronMexican]

Kobe sucked for the second and third, but made em when they counted. Pau with another quiet and good game.

[DrHouse]

Kobe was clutch as usual tonight and sealed the deal with some beautiful J's and a nice rebound.

Didn't get a chance to watch the CLE game, is Lebron really trying to beat Kobe's 61? That seems stupid as the boxscore says CLE is only up by like 5pts.

[DANILO DRASKOVIC]

LMAO kobe had 3 assists and zero rebounds that game too

well, if you're shooting over 60% keep shooting. dont give it up
kinda hard to get boards if your a shooting guard and your team is shooting over 52%

It looked like it in the first Q, but then he started playing real basketball and got 10 assts 8 rbds, and some blocks too.

[DrHouse]

I think Lebron understands he doesn't have the jumper necessary to score 60 pts in a game, which is a good thing. He knows his limitations.

[DAF86]

The comentator for ESPN latinamerica just said that he thinks that this Lebron game is a lot more impressive than Kobe's 61.

[DrHouse]

Damn little Nate can get UP....he just outrebounded Ben Wallace!

Lebron forcing the issue too much. He needs to pass, there's still 2 minutes left to go.

Yep that was one loss how many ass rapes have the Mavs had over the years in the 80's it was us in the 90's yall sucked ...in the 2000's it was the spurs and Heat giving it to yall with no vaseline ...pillow biters!!! LMAO

[turiaf for president]

at least the knicks are staying in this game lol. lebron is going ape nuts!

[stretch]

i dream of giving it to kobe without vaseline

bron with the triple double at the end, LOL

Haha triple double for Lebron... oh and 52 points.

[024]

lebron got a triple double at the last second.

[DAF86]

good game from Lebron.

Lol, no shit.

[Banzai]

he needed that rebound.

[Killakobe81]

yes i really said that ..moron ...is that you or your goofy lover in your avatar pic?

[RedsLakers24]

yeah but Lebron has taken more shots than kobe, missed more shots than kobe, so therefore lebron has had the ball around 90% of the time in order for him to shoot that much and get that many assist, yet the knicks are staying close to the Cavs when kobe put the knicks away, stats do not always tell the whole story, so therefore i would rather have kobes 61 points with a big lead then lebrons numbers with a close game

[turiaf for president]

52 10 10. wow this guy is ridiculous. come on mitch! make it happen!! =D

[stretch]

funny that laker fans are trying to take shots at a player that they feel is padding their stats when they have the biggest stat padder of the last 30 years

[IronMexican]

I don't get why you praise one but dog the other. Both are great players.

The game was a lot closer so Lebron played more minutes that's why he got more shots. But outside that first quarter it didn't look like he was ballhogging. Kobe shot two less times in ten less minutes.

bron also got 10 boards and 11 assists, as opposed to 0 boards and 3 assists by kobe

bron's performance > kobes points

[Killakobe81]

Only thing being padded is your bunghole by dirk is that why they call you stretch?

i only dog kobe when debating with kobe knobslobbers.

he is actually one of my favorite players in the game though.

and i actually agree with your dumbass his performance was better all-around but Kobe's was mmore impressive with the efficency he scored ... but stats wise Lebron's was > Kobe's

Man, I thought this thread was about Bron's scoring.....

A couple of net warriors come in and bashes kobe for no particular reason and it becomes a typical flame war...lol

I'm thinking that was one of the best complete all around games I've ever seen.

[stretch]

since i already hear the excuses for tomorrow nights curbstomping by boston, the cavs deserve the same excuse, for coming off a back to back playing toronto the night before

[RedsLakers24]

Kobe beat the knicks by alot more, and it wasnt really a close game, when Lebron beat the Knicks earlier in the year he blew them out twice because he was letting his teamates do the work, but today he wanted to outplay kobe and allowed the knicks to stay close, when Lebron lets other guys like Mo Williams handle the ball they have better ball movement and their teamates get better but today lebron had the ball in his hands more

[dirk4mvp]

LeBron is way better than Kobe, but Kobe is easily the most varied scorer in the L. That spin move off his pivot foot against the Knicks in the 4th q was nasty.

[Killakobe81]

No one at least not me is slobbing on Kobe you started with the silly posts so i just responded ... my only point was how you gonna dog Kobe when he is better than any player on your team? I would take Dirk over Pau Gasol and wouldnt talk ish about him when i know i have soft-ass Gasol on my team ...I also would take Lebron over kobe right now even though Kobe is better TODAY (IMHO)lebron may go down as the GOAT if he wins titles ....Im not a Kobe slobber

Both players had absolutely fantastic performances at MSG, ones that only further proves each player's legendary status.

[DAF86]

I think that if Lebron wouldn't have settled for so many jumpers in the 2nd and 3rd he would had got to 61+

Of course is not easy to attack the basket for 4 Q's non stop.

[Killakobe81]

Both players had absolutely fantastic performances at MSG, ones that only further proves each player's legendary status.

Now you being sensible I will say right now the Lakers will lose tomorrow ... back 2 back no Bynum they SHOULD lose

If they played us in LA with no KG on nack 2 back they would lose ...

Right now Celts still the favorites in the NBA even BEFORE Bynum's injury ...if they get Bynum back they are best in west and have a "CHANCE" to beat Boston it is no sure thing ...

that was THE best complete game i have seen live. i still give the nod to magic in the 80 finals where he played center in game 6 against the sixers. 42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block

[turiaf for president]

since i already hear the excuses for tomorrow nights curbstomping by boston, the cavs deserve the same excuse, for coming off a back to back playing toronto the night before

i have never said any excuses for the lakers L's ever. so before you put ure foot in your mouth just stop already. comparing lebron to kobe is retarded. they are 2 different players with much different styles.

[Killakobe81]

I think that if Lebron wouldn't have settled for som many jumpers in the 2nd and 3rd he would had got to 61+

Of course is not easy to attack the basket for 4th Q's non stop.

He didnt need to great performance and the W that's all that matters the Kobe Lebron Mj comparisons should stop ...
Mj is in the clubhouse with a 6-3 lead on Kobe and a 6-0 lead on Lebron ...

Kobe has a chance to catch 6 titles MAYBE and career stats but again it's only a "chance"

Lebron is breaking all Kobe's 1st to xxxx points records but only has a chance on pace etc. to do what Kobe and Mj has done

If healthy i think HE WILL catch them both in stats and titles ...but that is always a BIG IF ...until then ..MJ is the GOAT

Kobe the best scoring machine I have ever seen ...

Lebron best all around like Scottie Pippen on steroids with MJ's drive a nasty combination ...

[DrHouse]

If I were Mike Brown I'd bench Lebron for every single idiot jumper he took down the stretch. The Knicks simply could not stop him from getting to the rim even with double teams.

[YellowFever]

I think that if Lebron wouldn't have settled for so many jumpers in the 2nd and 3rd he would had got to 61+

Of course is not easy to attack the basket for 4 Q's non stop.

And that basically is Bron's problem right now.

He's relying solely on his athleticism right now, pretty much the way Kobe did when he was 23 or so.

I hope Bron develops a consistent outside jumper he can fall back on the way Kobe did.
He's gonna need it really badly when he's 30 years old and younger and stronger players are hunting for him.

the league will be at a whole new level if that happens at his size

[MambaJuice2408]

Damn I just looked at the box score for LBJ. That was a sick performance.

I have to give the overall performance to Lebron and his tripple double.

I guess if you figure Kobe would have played the same 44-45 minutes as Lebron did. Kobe would have had 76 or 77 pts...trust I did the math in my head. Either way both are sick performances

[DrHouse]

the league will be at a whole new level if that happens at his size

I don't see that happening.

Lebron just doesn't have the shooter's touch.

Both Kobe and MJ came into the league shooting > 80% from the F/T line, the touch was always there for both of them.....just never developed until needed.

[bostonguy]

Lebron is something else.

[YellowFever]

the league will be at a whole new level if that happens at his size

Good point!

Chances are he'll still be the biggest and the baddest athlete on the floor by the time he's 30.

But he sure as heck won't be causing havoc on the floor the way he is now.

I still lmao when I think back to the Bejing olympics and a Chinese forward tried to bear hug him and he just brushed it off and dunked for a and 1.

He has a pretty decent jumper now but it's nowhere near Kobe's class and he's going to need one if he wants to be anywhere near GOAT status, though.

[turiaf for president]

lebron has a chance to be the GOAT no question. lets not forget that kobe didnt have his mid range game when he came in the league, but by the time he was 24 he did develop it. so stay tuned. all i know is i wish we had lebron. imagine lebron and kobe on the same team........ shit im going to trade for him in 2k9 and play a couple games this weekend lol

Imagine DH and CP3 together. cp3 would go 20/20 and Howard would have like 40 points a night off lobs.

[MambaJuice2408]

All things equal:

If both players played the same amount of minutes as Brons 44

It's likely that Kobe finishes with 76 or 77 pts, include his 3 assists, you then have 82 pts roughly

Lebrons game for his 44 minutes translates to 52 pts, plus 11 assists, which comes out to 74 pts in all.

Food for thought I suppose

Youre right. All that matters is 61pts, o reb, 3 assists

and 52 pts, 10 reb, and 11 assists.

My purpose was to point out to everyone else all things equal Their games were pretty similar. And trust I'm not a homer. I actually say Lebrons game outdoes Kobes as it is. But factoring in everything else its a wash just about

You guys don't need to defend him. Just stop. 61 points against any NBA team is freaking incredible. If you need to DEFEND that performance to anyone, either you, or the person on the other side of that argument is a moron. Period.

jesus christ are you guys gonna throw up 20 pages complaining whose performance was better??? haha who gives a shit, both of them were very impressive.

Its freakin hilarious how much ppl love to argue on this site :lol

No I don't think rebounds and assists are meaningless to the game. And I say dominant ONLY in terms of scoring points.

both there points just reinforce what both guys are gonna ultimately be known for.

Lebron, the stat filler, who is a walking triple double just about.
Kobe, The dominant scorer, with no offensive weaknesses

Not really, Kelly Tripucka did it on February 25, 1989. It hasn't exactly been a heralded performance.

If you compare Kobe's and CP3's numbers from last season, CP3 was better statistically. Higher FG%, FT%, 3-point % and accounted for more points. However, the Gasol trade and some cockeyed voters from LA allowed Kobe to steal his crown. The Hornets had a better record than the Lakers before Bynum's injury, but the Gasol trade put the Lakers over the top.

Kobe's great, but overrated. It is possible to be both.

Yes well the media needed a good reason to blow their Laker wad that they had for the previous 4 years. I bet that shit was starting to hurt.

First 50-point triple-double since Kareem did it with the Bucks in 1975.

It was kinda weak that he got his last board at the end

How did I know Lakers fans were going to be all over this thread defending Kobe?

You guys don't need to defend him. Just stop. 61 points against any NBA team is freaking incredible. If you need to DEFEND that performance to anyone, either you, or the person on the other side of that argument is a moron. Period.

His name is MambaJuice. Nuff said.

I saw replays of Kobe's moves he made that game and that was out of this world.

The Knicks announcers were all over LeBron tonight, even saying he was blocking shots when it was Big Ben. Praising everything.

[Allanon]

They were both great performances and fun to watch. Kudos to both Kobe and LeBron for making a Knicks game pretty entertaining.

Lebron deserves also the award of the highest number of air balls and ugly shooting in one game.

I remember in particular one: Lebron shot in 3 sec at the equivalent of 2 meters behind the 3 point line for an awful air ball.

[Thunder Dan]

it wasn't that big of a deal, just a player doing what they are supposed to do against the Knicks at MSG

[Brickhouse]

please stop. i know you mean well but this is just gonna feed the fire to this dumb comparison. both players performed well, one did more offensively, other did more of everything else, and both teams won =D

"Lakerground" posters disagree, some of the stuff there is hilarious. Kobe nuthuggers were really upset that an ESPN poll had Lebron's performance ahead and that Lebron grabbed the last rebound. :lol

i think that was the year that kobe proved even more of how shitty a teammate he is by giving up on his team and allowing them to choke a 3-1 lead

LMAO

[stretch]

i love how you and mono try to twist things...makes the accomplishment more entertaining

you asked about the record book. there is nothing in any record books about most points at MSG, but there is a record for most points period. Wilt has it.

[DAF86]

imagine lebron and kobe on the same team

Now that is a good question

Kobe and Lebron or MJ and Pippen?

You don't even try to hide your blind hatred for Kobe.

[stretch]

I don't even try to hide my open love of Kobe's nuts on my face.

:wtf

kobe and lebron without question
