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.
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........ im going to trade for him in 2k9 and play a couple games this weekend lol
Not gonna happen.
They're both ball hogs and not going to be second banana. lol
obviously its not gonna happen. but i think they can coexist. lebron can set up kobe. or pick and roll with kobe handling the ball and lebron setting the pick
Imagine DH and CP3 together. cp3 would go 20/20 and Howard would have like 40 points a night off lobs.
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
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
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
And if LeBron ate shrimp instead of chicken, he might have scored another 6 points.
Basically what I'm saying is your "food for thought" tastes and looks like crap.
I NEVER saw wilt ...
LeBrons overall numbers were better, but when you see that Kobe played nearly 10 Minutes less, his performance was probably more dominant.
Well said, more dominant in a shorter amount of time.
More dominant if you think rebounds and assists are meaningless to the game.
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.
The same way you knew Kobe haters would be finding ways to diminish his performance and prop up Lebrons.

Lebron's statline>>Kobe's.
jesus christ are you guys gonna throw up 20 pages complaining whose performance was better??? haha who gives a , both of them were very impressive. Lebron & Kobe are good buddies so whats the big deal if they have a little compe ion between the two of them. Thats what makes sports so fun to watch. Its freakin hilarious how much ppl love to argue on this site

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
And they are worth responding to, why exactly?
but who made the record book?
wilt did.
100 points
go yourself
i love how you and mono try to twist things...makes the accomplishment more entertaining
scoring 50+ against a team that doesnt play a lick of defense is nothing to boast about. just like the toronto raptors.....
How bout scoring 40+ against the spurs? is that something to boast about?
If it was that easy why don't more people do it then?
