[crash_override]

LeBron owns, best player in the league hands down. I'd take him over Kobe any day.

Really?

I totally love that Cavs and LeBron is like my favorite player, (well I think I like DWade more) but I think Kobe is by far the best player in the league.

2 seconds left, who would you want to have it?

Kobe has had countless buzzerbeaters, LeBron has like two a season lol.

I still love LeBron though, his inside is awesome, but Kobe just makes so many more shots.



I still love Bron though lol.

It's quite simple, the Lakers are an all-around better team so Kobe doesn't have to carry as much weight.

Another fact worth noting, Lebron is 2 inches taller and weighs 50 pounds more than Kobe.

And Lebron's shooting is far from spectacular.

I like Lebron too, but I'm so accustomed to fanboys comparing him to Kobe that I've grown to hate Lebron for it (even if it isn't his fault).

NBA Game Winning Shots -- leading players

That's not to say I want LeBron to have it, but Kobe's not all that great. The media hypes up all of that game winning BS. LeBron does most of his work around the rim, and I don't know why people expect anything different from the greatest physical specimen the NBA has ever seen. Why shoot it from 17 feet when you can just do a lay up? I'd take Ray Allen over the both of them though.

And also LeBron doesn't rape women.

Further LeBron makes the people around him better. Andersen Varejao wouldn't even be a player of note in the NBA if it wasn't for LeBron. Kobe drives teamates away because he's a selfish prick. He could have won 3 more championships if he didn't drive Shaq out of town.

That chart isn't based on buzzer beaters though, as I said lol.

I guess I'm just more amazed with constant far shots than constant layups.

It's based on last possession shots. You can assume they're essentially all buzzer beaters. What's more is that chart goes back to the 03' season, when LeBron was far from polished. Look at the side note on LeBron... last two years there are maybe 1 or 2 people better on the last possession, none of them named Kobe Bryant. You're just amazed by Kobe's highlight reel instead of his full body of work.

That 81 (or 62 in 3/4) doesn't say enough about his potential? Man, kids these days, they're so hard to please!
