Question is:
Can Lebron do this with 2-3 guys defending him? I bet he'd love to have Kobe's fade away then.
He could have scored 48 sure, but not with 7 assists and 9 rebounds.

He had 2 or 3 guys all over him last night
What about the 10 point performance earlier in the series. Great players have off and on nights...

Kobe in 2001...48 points, 16 boards, and 3 assists...vs Sacremento first round.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/...S20010519.html
Kobe in 2001 vs Spurs....45 points 10 boards shooting 54%.....
Let's put the discussion to rest....and If Lebron can win a ring this year...than mad props to him, for sure.

scored the last 29 points in the game for his team and singlehandedly carried them to victory?
actually Manu did something like that this year against the Hawks
that one game against portland a few years ago... kobe had those 3 or 4 super re ed 3 pnt bombs to either help secure an 8th seed or maybe the pacific... i can't remember if it was post shaq or not.
granted it wasn't a playoff game... i remember seeing that game and just thinking those were some of the most impossible shots i've ever seen go in.
also can't remember his pnt/ass/rbnd totals from that game.
I can't wait until the next time lebron has a bad game. Then people will take his "basketballs" out of their "hoops".
Guys like Lebron, Kobe, and Wade, basically perimeter players will always be compared to Jordan and the like...with each great game, comes great applause, and with each dud, come down the hammer of mortality. I love Lebron as a player and I like his commercials...still what he's doing at his age is astonishing, but we've seen it before and we'll see it again.
He still put up big rebound/assist numbers, and if Donyell Marshall makes a wide open three, people call that a good game for Lebron and this series is over already.
We've seen Kobe give up on his ty team time after time...when his team is sucking, Lebron juts nuts up and keeps on fighting.
Amazing that, with all the experience Kobe's got, Lebron is still LIGHT YEARS ahead of him as far as maturity goes.
If Kobe had done that they would be talking about Kobe's game along the lines of Magic's game at center, MJ's Flu game, MJ's 63-pointer, etc. They are not. LeBron's game is in that company
Kobe had Shaq. Kobe's performances were easier because having a 350-pound gorilla to take more shots and be the focal point of the defense every single game leaves Kobe free to do his thing in the clutch. LeBron went into that game with a bulls-eye on his back. And still came through.
Kobe had the veteran role players. Through his playoff runs he's played with the likes of Rice, Harper, Grant, Horry, Fox, Fisher, Malone, Payton, AC Green, etc. The Cavs have role players who collectively lose their nuts towards the end of games.
Also Kobe has Phil Jackson as coach. LeBron has Mike f'n Brown. Brown basically made it more difficult for LeBron. He has a playbook with 2 pages and can't count his timeouts.
No comparison.
Could Kobe do it yes.
Did he not score 80 points in a game?
IF Kobe had the same talent around him I think he could. And yes I think the Cavs have more talent around them than Kobe does at this point.
and he makes it too. Do what you do best. Not time to rail on Kobe. He's still one of the best in the game.Kobe wouldn't have drove it in and dunked it either..he would have taken his 18 foot fadeaway he loves so much..
Kobe can't do this. He's never done it. Since Shaq's left he's flamed out in the 1st round of the playoffs every year!
Anything LeBron can do, Kobe can do better.
Kobe plays in the West while LeBron is playing in the East.
so has james
Huh???
james has always flamed out of the playoffs every year of the playoffs
james no rings
I Like Kobe he's a very very good player like Lebron i don't prefer someone but could kobe did the same near triple double performance : i don't think so.
maybe kobe can score more than lebron but he can't create as lbj for his teammates .......
