i find it strange nobody posted this stuff ... that's an awesome shot.

[lefty]

Crab shot

[JoeTait75]

That looked like a shot Larry Bird would have made.

[lefty]

Kobe's shot was better

[GuerillaBlack]

Kobe did it better.

[Bukefal]

whaat, certainly a nice shot!

[noob cake]

Kome invented the trick shot

[Killakobe81]

Great shot ...

[Blake]

who hasn't made a shot like that while frakking around during a game of horse?

[koriwhat]

That looked like a shot Larry Bird would have made.

yeah didnt bird make that same shot and it was deemed not allowed? i swear i remember it not counting.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

two points:

1) had it actually been shot from behind the backboard it would have been disallowed. Clearly, he was not behind the backboard when he shot it. Bird was. Bird's shot was about 100x more difficult than LeBron's.

2) If you've played forward much, you know this shot isn't really that hard from the left side (assuming you're right-handed). I used to shoot these all the time during warm-ups because it actually gives you an aiming point (the corner of the backboard) and forces you to arch the ball up (which you should be doing anyway). With no D I could make them about 1/2 the time. It's a lot harder from the right side because the ball is 18 inches or so further towards the endline when you shoot it, making the angle more difficult -but it's still doable. You just have to really feather it up there.

But the KING did so let's all worship him now. Crazy shot but why take it in the first place is what I am wondering? :lol

[Thunder Dan]

Kobe could do that. Kobe is better

Well, exactly right. The NBA is all about getting the best possible shot for each possession. Any NBA player can jack the ball up at any time, that's not the issue.

LeBron should have been looking for the pass, not flinging up a cheap shot with two guys on him.

I thought you said the shot wasn't that difficult?

BTW, the shot clock was down to :03. He had to put it up there.

Yeah, you're probably right about having to put it up.

By "not that hard" I meant that it's very makable in warmups. That doesn't mean it's a high percentage shot in a game situation. If you watch NBA players in warmups they typically hit like 8 out of 10 within their shooting range. I don't think LeBron could hit that shot 80% of the time in warmups, do you?

[JoeTait75]

I don't think LeBron could hit that shot 80% of the time in warmups, do you?

I wouldn't put it past him. Like you said, guys hit a high percentage of shots in warm-ups. Hell, Ben Wallace can knock down jumpers in warm-ups.

You were right about Bird's shot being much tougher, BTW. If I recall correctly, he was way out in the corner beyond the three-point line when he hit his.

[urunobili]

He stole this from Kome

They changed that rule a few years ago. It's a legal shot now.

[namlook]

Kobe could do that.

Kobe did do it, earlier this season.

Lebron = copycat

[j.dizzle]

Sick ass shot..Lebron is great at makin long & crazy shots..Don't him & his teamamtes do stuff like that all time after practice since there aint shit to do in cleveland?

[KidCongo]

I think when Kobe made that shot earlier in the year Kobe fans were making the MJ comparisons.

[TinTin]

-1000000

I am not going to respect his shot because there is a better player alive

[XFactor]

As if Kobe never copies from MJ....

Jordan did it long time ago.

Kobe = copycat
Go cry in a corner elsewhere somemore.

LeBron hits a 3. Kobe hits a 3. Kobe = copycat

[LnGrrrR]

Didn't Rondo put up a weird shot like that too and make it in a game this year? I seem to remember so.

[JoeTait75]

LeBron dribbled the basketball the other night, which I've seen Kobe do on numerous occasions. LeBron also breathes air and pisses water. Kobe did that first.

Fucking copycat.

[Kevin Durant 35]

Kobe didnt go to college then LeBron copied him because he wanted to be like Kobe

Cavs=the Mavs of the East...all about stats and the regular season:lol

[Donkeybong]

It's funny that all the people making the sarcastic remarks about how kobe did it before lebron, actually use the same remarks when comparing kobe to jordan, but rather in a serious tone.

[z0sa]

Bowen hit a shot somewhat like that in 03 or 04 :lol
