Kobe and Lebron

[riffraff24]

Watching D Wade bailout Lebron time and time again. Lebron choking in every clutch 4th quarter situation. Missed free throws, bad fouls, missed layups. Watching an aged Kobe Bryant and a Lebron James in his prime is night and day in Kobe's favor.

Give me all the stats you want. I won't care unless i'm playing fantasy.

didnt kobe turn the ball over and miss the shot the last two possessions at the end of regulation today? lebron is bad no doubt..but lets not act like kobe has been mr clutch

[riffraff24]

He also had 40 points and the winning block of the game. Kobe turns the ball over a lot yes. Maybe it's the multiple injuries in his hand causing him to not have a good grip on the ball? idunno.

All I know is the guy wins and has a competitive nature and determination that Lebron doesn't.

[dlunc3]

he also took 31 shots

[riffraff24]

and 1 Win

[riffraff24]

Look i'll be the first to tell you i'm a Laker homer. I have 24 in my name for god sakes.

But I honestly see these two as completely different species.

[dlunc3]

win or loss tonight, doesnt lebron have less losses this season?

[riffraff24]

Lakers have played more games than anyone this season. Their schedule has been packed. Teams with lighter schedules had the luxury of more practice time in between games coming off a short training camp. Lets look at the wins that matter.

The only time Lebron ever won anything he was on a USA team lead by Kobe Bryant

[dlunc3]

lol he honestly cant make a shot though... they havent made a shot in 11 minutes haha

[riffraff24]

Kobe will take 31 but at least some go in lol

[riffraff24]

Do you think Kobe would have passed the ball like Lebron just did with 17 seconds left before the timeout? lol hell no

lebron turned into shaq at the FT line tonite

[riffraff24]

[jsmithj88]

there are obvious differences between lebron and kobe
kobe is a scorer and lebron is not
but lebron is still the best player in the nba

[onlooker]

Haters were sitting and waiting.

[riffraff24]

Sitting and waiting? I talk shit about Lebron all the time lol. I posted this before the game was in overtime.

Lebron is the greatest athlete in the NBA. Kobe is the greatest basketball player in the NBA. that's the difference.

[tullamore21]

waiting for what?
James is scared now that the games are meaningless.
I can imagine what follows...

[riffraff24]

Lebron says he's "happy with the loss". Smfh lol

Sorry buddy, but the "best player" doesn't disappear when it matter's most. The best player doesn't choke every fukkin' time the game is on the line. It's a shame people tend to get blinded by LeBrons athletic ability & padded stats & seem to give him a pass everytime he chokes away late games.

LeBron is the most talented player in the league hands down but he is far from the best player in the league. Until he manages to figure out the last 30 seconds of tight games this will always be the case.

Well said my friend. Well said.

kobe went 1 for 4 his last 4 possessions to end regulation and allowed that game to go to ot last night... then he went 2 for 8 in OT... at this point, lebron is definately lechoke.. but dont say kobe is mr clutch right now

[riffraff24]

He's not right now? Well he is when it matters.
