dominated (proper domination) in an era when domination was a thing of the past.

much more dominant peak than Kobe, Magic, Bird or Duncan.

we laugh at him like he has always been the bald mofvcker he is, but there was a 2 year stretch where he played the game at a higher level than ANYONE has ever played (sorry Wilt, but he would have clowned those silly white boys back in your day too)

His run with the Miami Heat was as successful as Kobe's from 08-10, and Kobe didn't need two other all-stars to make the Finals or win a Finals series.

Kobe's numbers for 08-10 Playoffs: 30/6/6/2/1 on 46/34/85 shooting, 57%TS

Lebron's numbers for 11-14 Playoffs: 27/8/6/2/1 on 50/35/77 shooting, 60%TS

So, Lebron is slightly more efficient while taking 3.5 less FGA per game, Kobe averages around the same number of assists as the guy who is claimed to be a much better playmaker and his AST-TO ratio is near identical as well :oldlol:


Kobe's 3 straight Finals runs while being out of his peak is more impressive than Lebron's 4 straight Finals runs during his absolute prime and having a better and a deeper roster.

08 he led a team before the Pau Gasol trade to the top of the West and on a 50+ win pace, Pau was not an all-star that year and was pretty medicore in Memphis, his numbers skyrocketed next to Kobe, the supposed "ballhog" and ballstopper. 08 Western Conference Playoff run was a thing of beauty, he also shot 48% for the Playoffs despite having a below-average shooting series against Boston in the Finals (08 Celtics were the best defensive team of that era), averaged 32/6/6 on 51% shooting against the Western Conference, single-handedly dominated the defending champs, San Antonio Spurs


09 he dominated every Playoff series and was the 1st player since MJ in 91 to drop 30+ppg/5+reb/7+ast in a Finals series, put up 34/6/6 on 48/34/93 shooting in the WCF

2010 is where Kobe's physical decline began, but he still had some impressive Playoff series. Put up 32/4/6 on 52% shooting against Utah and 34/7/8(with only 2.5 TOs) on 52/43/88 shooting against the Suns in the WCF, averaged 30/7/4 on 43/37/93 shooting in the first 6 games of the Finals, Game 7 was a horrible shooting game, but he did enough to win the game in the 4th quarter with his clutch FTs and defense.

Peak Lebron is an overrated statpadder that had the luxury of playing with 3 other hall of famers, if he doesn't win in Cleveland it will just get worse for him. He hasn't made anyone a HOFer or a superstar like Kobe did to Pau, he needed proven superstars to win rings, period.

If playing good defense on a guy, in a series, for a total of like 8 minutes is complete destruction then sure.

Durant "completely destroyed" Kobe with good defense in the playoffs 3 years ago as well then.

This is true. LeBron won 4 MVP's in 5 years. Think about how rare that is. Only KAJ (5 in 7) and Russell (4 in 6) come close.


His run with the Miami Heat was as successful as Kobe's from 08-10, and Kobe didn't need two other all-stars to make the Finals or win a Finals series.

Kobe's peak was probably 2006-2008. By 2009 LeBron had surpassed him as the best player in the game.

And his numbers do not even stand out that much when compared to history and results. The only thing his fans seem to care about is FG% anyway. If ESPN didn't change their entire hype to worship the all mightly FG%, Lebron would not be nearly as popular.

And MVPs are popularity contests.

LeBron played in the same era as Kobe (top 10 all-time), Shaq (top 5 all-time), Durant, Wade, Dirk, Nash, Howard, Chris Paul, KG, and Paul Pierce to name a few legends from this era. LeBron is playing in a tough era at SF: LeBron, Durant, Carmelo, Pierce, George along with other good players like Deng, Ariza, Odom at SF.

i've never seen a player match up to peak lebron. Its crazy how even with the most terrible teammates, he still managed to destroy the league. He wasn't in a weak era like russell and wilt, he didn't have stacked teammates like jordan and kobe, he didn't get whistles like wade and durant, instead he simply dominated purely by himself. No player can say that.

Over two playoff seasons for 25 games, Elgin Baylor averaged 38.4/16.5/4.1, which included a 3 pt game 7 loss to the Celtics in the finals where Baylor went off for 40.6 a game.

In that series, Russell was 22.9/27/5.7 on 54.3%.

Peak Baylor was a better scorer and rebounder than Lebron. He was also a better finals performer. Too bad they couldn't repair knee injuries like they can today.

With no inside threat and nobody on the perimeter hitting shots, Rose was pretty much doomed by the trap defense which Lebron lead. Defenses knew it was rose or nothing.

I'm not saying that Lebron didn't do a good job, but crediting him with 100% lockdown on Rose is one of the biggest myths on ISH.

The reason defenses are better is a result of the NBA becoming a softer sport. You can thank David Stern for this. You can't BREATHE on LeBron or some other star without picking up a foul. I call this bullshit.

Don't you think that if Lebron grew up/played in that 80/90's era he would completely adjust to that era and played and behaved differently on the court than he does today? Lebron didn't invent crying for fouls nor did he invent flopping. That's just a part of the era he plays in and that's why he developed those bad habits which sometimes bring an advantage for him and for his team.

You're lost bruh. I hope for your sake that you aren't this dumb in real life.

Coming from you, one of the biggest douche trolls in here. Sad there's no Knick forums to bash? If you weren't an adolescent, I'd tell you to kiss my ass.

There were no Canadian teams in the 1980's. Why don't you check that, tool?

I know that the game is Canadian in origin.
If there was a Canadian team at the inception of the league then this is a retarded post no?:


Canadian teams didn't exist then. Go back to your corner! :oldlol:

You are a knicks fan? :lol No wonder, it all makes sense.


I defy anyone who remembers the NBA of old to agree with this "statement". As much as I appreciate LeBron's skills and athleticism, he would've been eaten for lunch playing in the 80's/90's. You think he cries now? He doesn't have the toughness or grit. OP doesn't know Jack shit about the history of the game.

Yea, a 4 time MVP, 2x NBA Champion, & probably the most athletically gifted player we have ever seen would of been "eaten for lunch" if he played in the 80's & 90's. We all know who the real retard is in this thread.:oldlol:

hey old man, lebron would have dominated those weak ass scrubs. Stop living 50 years ago, where you watched guys run up the court and shoot.

The era of defense>>>>Era of fastbreaks.

I always find it kinda cute when Bulls fans talk shit about Lebron, he's been bodying your franchise in the postseason for years now.
