takes a major shot jacker to get 60+. u have to be able to score from everywhere so no he won't. Melo and Durant will though im guessing

yeah he will get a 60 point game - Wade isn't going to play 82 games. But more amazing will Lebron's 30, 20, 15 games. Or 40,15,15 games. Which are things only he can do (Westbrook, David Lee and Rondo withstanding as they have all came somewhat close to the first stat).

Not trying to be anti-LeBron but I don't think he's much of a scoring threat.

I can only see guys like Kobe, Durant, Wade and Melo able to score 60+.
Kobe has done it when he played with lesser talents.

I could see LeBron doing a 30-20-20 type of game though. Which could be really really SICK!

kobester's stans need to cling to irrelevant criteria in order to maintain the delusion that Lebron hasnt been better since about age 23 than Kobe ever was, and Lebron will continue to be better than Kobe ever was until he's about 31 at least.

An undersized Tony Allen did, along with Pierce as well.

I won't consider him a scoring threat until his mid-range and long jumpers are in the same league as Kobe, Melo, Dirk and Wade.

When LeBron missing a FGA, the refs blow their whistle n say the defenders foul LeBron

thats why LeBron's FG% seems good.

I really doubt it. Lebron isn't the type of player who will start forcing shots when he's getting doubled, even if he's really hot. There have been tons of times where he had over 30 points at halftime but he finishes with 40-45 because they start doubling him and he starts passing. Off the top of my head that happened this year vs. the Blazers, Knicks, and Clippers.

jlauber

I don't think the HOF voters are going to look at a career, and reject a player based on his lack of 60 point games.

These boards consist of people who either:

A.) Hate Kobe / Love LeBron

B.) Love Kobe / Hate LeBron

C.) Thus making all statements biased and making posters sound even more like a bunch of morons

What I don't understand is the constant comparison between 2 players who obviously are completely different in what they do for their team (they don't even play the same position). Both are amazing to watch and are only going to be around for a set amount of time, so instead of bitching about who is the bestest like a bunch of arguing 12-13 year olds... let time tell and just watch them play ball.

You don't have to like a guy's personality, but you should respect what he can do for the game. Especially when it comes to Bryant and James. Some of the comments make me wonder what it would be like to hang out with such confrontational f@gggggssszzzz... Better saved for the Net than RL I guess

Hence 30ppg on 50%.

Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan and Elgin Baylor are the only NBA players with multiple 60 point games.
Kobe already has 5 60+ point games...
He would have had 20 more 50 point games if he didn't play with Shaq, He currently has 25 of them.

Just admit it, Lebron is not a scorer. If he didn't do it in Cleveland, he won't do it in Miami.:no:

I don't think he'll score 60 because, like was said before, he doesn't jack up crazy shots and he'd have to go to the line like 20 times if he scored his normal ammount of points. Also, he has 2 other guys on his team who are used to being the star player. And just like what was said before, it would be sweet if he scored 30-20-20.

Saying he's not a "scoring threat" given what he's accomplished so far in his career is an idiotic statement. Period. There's no way to get out of it. It's just stupid. You may think he has aspects of his scoring that he can work on, but to state that he's not a scoring threat is just absurd.

U R being anti Lebron because U are a fool if U don't think he can score 60..There was 3 or 4 occasions he could of scored 60 last season and he throttled it down with gm out of hand. One example that comes to mind was the Knicks game where he had 35 at the half and could have gone for an Easy 60 if he wanted to but with a 25 point lead he deferred to teammates.

I doubt he'll do it in a Miami Heat uniform for obvious reasons.

Scoring outbursts are not the best or definitive factor in scoring. Lebron puts up more points on a consistent basis and does so more efficiently. He's clearly the better scorer. I'm sure if he wasn't dropping 8-12 dimes a game by setting up his teammates and took a more selfish view like Kobe has throughout his career that he could be just as inefficient and have Kobe-like scoring outbursts.

07-24-2010, 02:13 PM
Scoring 60+, especially in today's league, is about getting hot from 3. LeBron's certainly proven he can get in ridiculous zones, so I'd say he CAN score 60+ on a special night. But does he want to? There were so many games last year alone where he got off to ridiculously hot starts(30+ points at half), only to turn oddly passive once the game was secured. He doesn't seem to have a score-as-much-as-possible mentality. He'd rather have a 40 point triple-double then score 50+ points.

07-24-2010, 02:23 PM
Lebron always approached the game from a team standpoint and would pass if his shot total got to high. He didn't have that mean streak to go off for 60points before. But now, after a couple of otherwise quiet HOF haters kicked him while he was down, he probably would do it if Wade had to sit out a game.

This is the problem with your typical ignorant follower. To them, scoring outbursts = OVERALL scoring ability. Things like the fact that Lebron has never been the type of player to be interested in piling up scoring numbers is completely lost on them.

I see exactly what you are saying, but I would argue that their are some advantages to being "selfish." When you are that damn good, sometimes its a better play for the team if you shoot a tough shot, rather than dish it for a corner three point shot 15-20 times a game.

LeBron will never get a 30/20/20 game. Ever. Nobody will. I don't see him pushing out a 30/20 game either. Has he ever gotten 20 assists or rebounds in a game? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he has. Too lazy to go through all his seasons and find out. :P

:oldlol: at easily smashing the scoring record, his scoring is going to drop in Miami to begin with and Lebron doesn't seem like the type of player who will have prime years into his 30s and he'll have less opportunities to get 60 with Miami so I'll guess no.

ISH: Where scoring 20 pts every game would make you a better scorer than 50 games of 50+ pts if your average at the end of the season is under 20

ITS ALL ABOUT CONSISTENCY MAN! By the way why do some of you not understand it is harder to be consistent scoring 40 pts than it is to score 30 for example? Of course people that aren't able to score 60 are going to be consistent at scoring say 30, and people that know they can score 60 are going to have nights where they score 60 and nights where they score 25 because they'll be shooting the same kind of shots they make all day when they are having a good game and therefore miss more sometimes.

let me speak out the truth since you stans won't

lebron is a great efficient scorer, he can get 40 on any given night, maybe even 50 on 50%, but let's face the truth, he's not the type of explosive scorer that kobe is or was

also if he never get 60 in cleveland, he's not gonna get it in miami, unless, of course, he puts his mind to it for the sake of getting 60 ala robinson's 72

but who's the better player between the two? i'd lebron

If they can score 60 any day of the week, then why hasn't Kobe ever scored more than 50 in the playoffs? 60+ pt games account for about .4% of the games in Kobe's career, all but one of them against teams that missed the playoffs. It's extremely rare and not something you can count on at all. If we measured a player's scoring ability by their explosions, Andre Miller would have to be considered a better scorer than Barkley.

If he decided to take 37 shots (like Kobe did one game this season) you stans don't think he can score 60+? The difference is, LeBron goes on these runs, then settles into a facilitator role; if he was concerned with scoring 60 points, he'd have plenty of 30+ FGA games; especially when he comes off a hot start like he's done so many times in his career.

Lebron isn't capable of being hot for an entire game. He's never shown so why assume? :rolleyes:

He gets in spurts and that's it. He can score 24 in one quarter and end up with 44. Some players can score 60 like Kobe and I def think Melo can do it. He's shown he has the ability to do so and Wade can probably do it too but Bron, I doubt it.

Durant can absolutely do it too. Maybe even next season. You need a SOLID jumper to be able to score 60. Bron doesn't and stans like YOURSELF do not comprehend that.

Lebron isn't capable of being hot for an entire game. He's never shown so why assume? :rolleyes:

He gets in spurts and that's it. He can score 24 in one quarter and end up with 44. Some players can score 60 like Kobe and I def think Melo can do it. He's shown he has the ability to do so and Wade can probably do it too but Bron, I doubt it.

Durant can absolutely do it too. Maybe even next season. You need a SOLID jumper to be able to score 60. Bron doesn't and stans like YOURSELF do not comprehend that.

LeBron doesn't continue to shoot; that's the point. How many times do you see him have 30+ FGA in a game, let alone close to 40? If he continued to have the ball in his hands, attack, and keep shooting instead of facilitate, you don't think he can get those extra 12 or so points he would need? :hammerhead:


He had 48 points on 23 shots this past season. You don't think he can get an extra 12 if he took another 13 or so shots in the game? Stop being delusional.

He could do it. But i doubt he can in this heat team. If he does, he needs to be a ultimate ballhog and or have a game with a lot of heat checks to do so. Lebron is unselfish player though.

So LeBron tots saying he never scored 60 only because he didn't want too....Not because he may have run out of gas, not because he dorsn't have a killers scoring mentallity, not cause he lacks a TOTAL offensive skill set, but because he simply doesn't want too....Riiiight....:rolleyes:


Or hey, you could be right...Dude is a stat whore so once he scores 40, he glances at the score board and sees he needs 4reb and 4ast for a triple double...So he holds the ball for 23sec on sho clock and make a pass to get assist...And then he boxes out teamates to grab boards...So, prob right..

So you don't think he's capable of scoring 60 when he scores 48 points on 23 shots? You don't think he could have held the ball and take at least 12 more shots himself the rest of the game?

LBJ on Cavs, yes. LBJ on Heat, no.

i can see the big 3 now. after every game, they will be comparing scoring sheets midcourt just like during a round of golf.

Read my second line..


And when he's not going for the per title stat whoring...He mostly runs out of scoring gas and gut...It takes a metally strong person to continue to shoot the ball...You also have to have epic stamina..

Guys like Kobe and Jordan just kills you everytime with their scoring will.

Your second paragraph is absurd.

:roll: at LeBron boxing out his teammates for boards and holding the ball until 2 seconds left to pass to a teammate who apparently routinely hits the shot for him. (as if LeBron didn't take and shoot plenty amount of shots at the end of shot clocks).

:lol He does make some shotclock shots....Just not when he's going for the stat padding rebounds and assist..You know, when he blocks his teamates out and over holds the ball...

Your right; when he boxes out his own teammates or holds the ball in one position for 23 seconds and passes to a player who for some reason is wide open despite LeBron holding it for 23 seconds, who drains the shot and gives LeBron the assist.
:wtf:

I think lebron could easily score 60 if he put his mind to it but it is definitely harder for him to do it then a guy like kobe. Kobe scores big when his outside shot is falling and then he starts getting some drives to the bucket, some FTs, and is still able to go on more crazy outside shooting.

Lebron is a bully and scores by getting into the paint and banging guys. I know lebron can shoot but he can't go off from outside like kobe can.

It takes a lot more effort to drive and attempt to finish on big men over and over then it does to shoot the ball from within 5 feet of where you caught it.

Exactly, now your getting it...Quote from Shaq:


Shaq-"I could average 10 rebounds a game you know, but LeBron blocks us out for rebounds, the guy just fly's in out of nowhere with no warning. But I understand why he does it, those triple double pay the bills.":lol

The 16 in two minutes was on layups/dunks?

His clinic on the Knicks last February was on layups/dunks?
