NBA subtracts rebound from LeBron's triple-double

[Point Blank]

Oh well, he still had "9" more than Kobe..lol.

What's funny is everyone thinks that Kobe can't get a triple double...he doesn't try to, if you watch him play he streaks, that is the gameplan most of the time he'll go on the break, when he wants rebounds he gets them. As far as assists goes, I believe that LeBron can be a better playmaker, but watching Kobe play this year, he can set his teammates up with the best of them.

All I'm tired of is everyone riding LeBron's nuts, the performance was great, but I don't think they should be compared. Both were of epic proportions now everyone stfu.

Why can't they be compared? Two great performances some think one is better than the other. Nothing wrong there. And some people may be riding Lebron's nuts but the same could be said about you izz riding Kobe's.

Kobe ballhogged, lebron still had a double-double

I know what you are saying man...and I agree for the most part.I was just saying that I mean sometimes we don't realize how much is wrong with Kobe right now as far as being healthy.He is Kobe so people don't think about how hurt he really is.I mean I think that Kobes performance is way better because of the fact that he was hurt.I mean how many players can you say would play hurt and still put those numbers up.I don't see Lebron doing it.

where does it say he was hurt?

LeBron is 24.

Mike owns this thread.

That's all I got.

Could you name me one 24yr old rookie.

Anyway i said LeBrons was better but now im going with Kobe.A double double just dosent sound that epic.Still i dont think the League Office should have even looked at it.

Marc Gasol is 24. Rudy Fernandez will be 24 in April. I knew those two off the top of the head.

Courtney Lee is 23. Anthony Morrow is 23.

Anyway, the fighting over who's better is stupid, especially when we're talking about who had the better game over a specific team. This is more about how terrible the Knicks are at containing them versus who is the better player, so the comparison of them as players are absolutely ridiculous and irrelevant to the topic. What LeBron does against the Knicks doesn't equate into what he'll do against the Magic, Lakers, Celtics, or Nuggets. Same goes for Kobe.

As for their performances, LeBron's was clearly more impressive just because of what is required of you to do. Not only are you dominant in scoring, but you're hustling and leaping over players to get boards, and making the pass that finds the player his shot. To score 50 points and do all of that is phenomenal and rare to see. Kobe's performance was great as well. I mean, scoring 60 in any game is just ridiculous. The argument can be made that LeBron had more motive, but regardless both had great performance.

Still, neither of those were better than Jordan's 55 point performance. D'Antoni's first priority isn't defense... hell, I doubt it's his 100th. Jordan played against a Pat Riley coached team that featured Ewing, Starks, Oakley, etc. Kobe goes into the Garden being showered with "MVP!" chants, LeBron gets praised when the Knicks get destroyed. They're welcomed with open arms. Jordan is HATED by Knicks' fans. He gets booed like crazy at the Garden. That game for the Lakers and Cavaliers meant nothing. The Bulls were fighting for playoffs. Jordan was out of retirement, rocking that 45, and he just let them have it. Jordan had 49 at the end of the third. He could have easily went 60+, but they were only tied at that point and Jordan realized that they needed to win the game. By far, the best performance out of the three.

Lebron has 2 inches on him and 45 pounds on him, he should have 9 rebounds a game. and if kobe wanted a triple double i think he could of had it, i think a couple weeks back when he went back to back triple doubles. and that same week he could of had more he had the points and assist down just not the rebounds
