Throwback play: Lebron hits a dagger while Kobe is defending him

[SavageMode]

http://youtu.be/hcWlEXrYjLE?t=11m48s

Still remember this game like it was yesterday. Lebron straight up owning Kobe on this play. A true 1-on-1 play at 11:48 of this video.

[KyrieTheFuture]

LeBron James has made Kobe look like ass roughly 80% of the time they played eachother. The best game Kobe ever had against him was the all star game last year.

This is a 4 point play, the ultimate in NBA humiliation, Lebron basically just made Kobe Bryant look like Bill Russell guarding him. Not only did Lebron telegraph that shot to the point that it was blockable, but Kobe also had time to consider which teammate he wanted to deflect it too to turn it into some easy points. 4 point play, -2 for Lebron +2 for Kobe/Durant :lol

Does anybody have anything from Kobe on LeBron in games that actually count? Not trolling. I just think Kobe supporters would get more credit for that.

John Havlicevek has 8 rings.

Rings don't count, only FMVP.


When your talking about the best of the very best, the only rings( a team accomplishment) that count toward individual accolades is rings you got while you were the best player.

Winning a ring, but not winning the Finals MVP/best player? Beta.


Let's look at the alpha/beta usage rate which will soon be adopted by Hollinger in his PER calculations as an improvement:

Lebron James: 2 FMVPs out of 2 rings - 100% alpha usage rate (0% beta)

Michael Jordan: 6 FMVPs out of 6 rings - 100% alpha usage rate (0% beta)

Shaquille O'Neal: 3 FMVPs out of 4 rings - 75% alpha usage rate (25% beta)

Tim Duncan: 3 FMVPs out of 4 rings - 75% alpha usage rate (25% beta)

Magic Johnson: 3 FMVPs out of 5 rings - 60% alpha usage rate (40% beta)

Kobe Bryant: 2 FMVPs out of 5 rings - 40% alpha usage rate (60% beta)

Dwyane Wade: 1 FMVP out of 3 rings - 33.3% alpha usage rate (66.6% beta)

Scottie Pippen: 0 FMVPs out of 6 rings - 0% alpha usage rate (100% beta)

They've literally never played a meaningful game against each other. Kobe vs Lebron is strictly a fan thing. They are not rivals at all.

Look at Kobe's left arm. That's a foul on the body anyway

Looks like he tried to rip his headband off, but they won't call that foul in the ASG.

[nzahir]

Both were arguable fouls(blocks), they both didnt mean much in the context of the game. But their record against each other, LMFAO 12-5 on lerbrons favor.
http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2013/2/10/3973248/lakers-heat-kobe-bryant-lebron-james
And kobe was in his prime for most of the games, while lebron wasnt.
Both are great, but lebron is better now in terms of legacy and it will continue to grow.
4 mvps>1
2 finals mvp to 2 finals mvp
5>2 in favor rings for kobe, but still only 2 finals mvps.
The stats arent really too close, lebron gets more(on avg career) boards, assits, blocks, steals, points, better fg and 3 %. Kobe is just a better ft shooter, lebrons clutch shooting is also much higher(and I have the stats if you want to see it). And lebrons a much better defender.
Any argument?

Typical of Lebron to always own Kobe in their matchups.

Was this the same year Lebron lost to a Dwight Howard led team with HCA???
