The next time you see LeBron post UP will be the first. He has absolutely ZERO post game whatsoever. LeBron has few weaknesses but post play may be his biggest. Kobe on the other hand post's UP regularly. It's been one of his strengths his entire career. Kobe is as effective @ posting as any guard in the league. LeBron has ZERO back to the basket game.
As far as the 3 point shooting, well......Neither is exactly stellar here. LeBron has nudged Kobe over the last two seasons & in 04-05. Kobe has buried him every other year. Career wise kobe 33.9, LeBron 32.9. three point shooting is arguably equal. NBA 3-point shooting is mostly left for specialist anyhow & neither is a specialist in this department.
Now for the mid range game. It is renowned that Kobe is regarded as one of the best mid range shooters in the history of the league. I challenge you to dig UP LeBron's career shooting % from 15 feet & beyond. You will find a number in the 30-32% range. Do the same for Kobe & report back. LeBron actually shoots a better % from 3 than he does from 15 & beyond.
Furthermore, Kobe relies on tough contested jumpers where LeBron gets the benefit of teams laying off him baiting him to shoot his mid range jumper. For a guy that shoots 50% from the field yet is 2nd in the league in lay-UP'S & dunks what does that tell you about his jump shooting %?? One season does not make a career.
LeBron does a lot of good things but post play & mid range game are possibly his biggest weaknesses. I will admit that leBron's jumper has improved w/ age but if you honestly believe LeBron is a better jump shooter than Kobe then you're kidding yourself. Like I said, one look @ your avatar makes me understand where you're coming from.
