NBA subtracts rebound from LeBron's triple-double

[mfbmike]

and kobe fans let out a sigh that rang round the world

who gives a shit, lebrons performance still shits on kobe's.

[mfbmike]

hahaha, here we go again.

I'd take a 51/9/10 performance any day over a 61/0/3 performance.

Kobe went out there to what he had to do for his team to win.He wasn't going out there trying to score.

Change Kobe for LBJ in that statement and then your argument will be correct.

[mfbmike]

Another thing, Kobe is 30 what? LBJ is the age of some rookies. Gimme a break.

this.

One rebound, who the hell cares.

[mfbmike]

What does age have anything to do with it.Kobe was breaking records at 20 something.There is no doubt that LBJ is a good player.The only thing is he can only do layups and dunk.He has doesn't have a consecutive jump shot.Kobe can do it all.He can drive,create space,dunk, and a jump shot that will kill teams.You can argue with that.

Age has everything to do with it. A player at kobe's age is considered to be "in his prime." Regadless of whether or not Kobe is a better shooter is a moot point when Lebron is right up there with him every year in points per game. Again, Lebron can develop a shot because he has yet to hit his prime.

You say kobe does it all yet only scored 10 more points than Lebron while Lebron pulled down 9 more rebounds and dished out 7 more assist.

how many triple doubles has kobe tallied up in his career? how many has lebron recorded?

I will not argue that Kobe is a more dynamic scorer but I would certainly hope so considering he's 10 years older. But as I said, Lebron gets his points either way so does it matter how he does it if he gets them?

Is it only 6 years? How old is Lebron, 24-26?

another thing how many championships has lbj won in his young age 0

kobe 3 in a row so dont bring youth accomplishments in this and if you say its because of shaq who cares b/c if you say that your basically taking away all of mj's championships he won with scottie pippen and rodman

[mfbmike]

I'm not trying to argue who is better. When I made the point that Lebron's performance at the MSG shit on kobe's, you came back with this whole rebuttal about how Kobe's offense is more dynamic than Lebron's, which I can totally respect.

All he can do it dunk and drive, you need to be able to more than that.

That's like me coming back at you saying all Kobe can do is score. If all Lebron can do is dunk and drive, why does he still score as many points as kobe?

Oh wait he also pulls down a ton more rebounds and dishes out more assists too.

How long did it take MJ to win his first championships? 7 years.

yep 7 seasons pesky pistons stood in the way of his airness

anyways Lebron is a great SF and Kobe is a good SG you cant really compare the too b/c they are two different positions and have different roles nor can you really compare stats

[mfbmike]

Anywho, whether it was a triple double or not.

A 51/9/10 performance is still a better night than a 61/0/3.

I fail to see how you can say Kobe "wasn't going out there trying to score" and was "doing what he had to do for his team to win" when obviously Lebron's performance shows he was doing more to help the team with by grabbing boards and helping guys get good looks.

[mfbmike]

He scores as many because his strength allows him to dunk and drive to the basket. Kobe not only does that but he shots mid-range shots and 3's.LBJ is stronger than Kobe but he is not as good because he doesn't have a jumper to save his life.

LOL, you have kobe tatted on your chest? I've already mentioned that I respect kobe as a more dynamic scorer.

You are either a kobe fan boy or just trolling the shit out of me. rofl

him finding good looks for his team mates could most likely be the system he is in the way the cavs have their offense set up lbj gets it at the top drives and if open easy score if not hard drive or kick out to the flats usually when you have a strong athletic player like james your going to want to cut the lane leaving your guy open and hoping james doesnt see him

the lakers on the other hand have a thing called the triangle where the sg is not the focal point of the play but everyone in it as well except bryant has changed it a little to revolve more around him but none the less everyone gets looks if you look at the cavs game look how many shots lbj took as opposed to the team you will see that he shot almost 60% of the shots kobe down with 50%

both took 33 shots however lakers shot way more as well
