So who really won the game tonight kobe or bron?

[Im so nba'd out]

Who won the game inside the game?


Edit: Mods you can close this thread now we all pretty much agreed that Kobe won the game inside the game. which is more important than any regular season game between two bad teams where neither is over 500%.

Basically winning the game is winning a battle.
Winning the game inside the game is winning the war.

Bron indeed won the battle but kobe won the war this time great game by both players I have no horse in this race i am not a stan of either player.

[Mr. Jabbar]

The guy who put up career highs and played lock down D i'd say :roll:

[J Shuttlesworth]

Well the Cavs won, and they had LeBron... so I'm going with LeBron

[Smoke117]

The guy who put up career highs and played lock down D i'd say :roll:

Oh are we back in the 2000 season? Kobe hasn't played lock down D since then, so we must be in the past?

[TheMarkMadsen]

The guy who put up career highs and played lock down D i'd say :roll:

Kobe scoring high>Lebrons

Kobe assist high>Lebrons

Kobe's legacy takes the W tonight boys

[oh the horror]

I dunno but Bean had a nice game.


Shot 50 percent I believe. 19 pts with 17 assists and 6 rebounds? That's not too shabby

[Mr. Jabbar]

Kobe scoring high>Lebrons

Kobe assist high>Lebrons

Kobe's legacy takes the W tonight boys

and since we are tanking its also good. one of the rare occasions an L plays out great.

now we need gifs of kobe locking down lebald and lebald clanking his uncontested dunk to top it off. srry bran stans maybe next time..

[BigMacAttack]

Branstans taking L's even when he gets a W.

[dreamwarrior]

Lakers shot better fg%, from 3pt, and they were nearly equal at the ft line except the cavs shot more FTs. Congrats on your "win"

[JT123]

LOL at the Kobe stans in this thread melting down. :oldlol:

[Im so nba'd out]

Kobe had a career night so i would have to say he won the game inside the game :confusedshrug: and i have no horse is this race i like both players

[Fudge]

The 40 year old who had a career high in assists in his 19th season, while locking down a top 2 player in the league when defending him.

[livingby3's]

This war between the stans is gay. They both great players with different styles why hate on either

[Ancient Legend]

Kobe is trying to tank, LeBron is coasting while winning. They both achieved their goals.

[Mr.Kite]

Kobe had fun, Kobe got a new career high, Kobe flirted with a triple double, Lakers tanked as intended.

I say the lakers and kobe won

[NBASTATMAN]

Who won the game inside the game?


I would have said Kobe but he clanked a big free throw and then Let Lebron blow right past him for a layup that sealed the deal.. I WOULD SAY NEITHER... BLATT may keep his job .. SO HE WON:rockon:

[plowking]

The fans.

Both teams played hard.

Good job, great effort.

They aren't tanking.. THEY SCUK.. :roll:

[rhowen4]

if you were asking who was balder, i would say lebron

[Magic 32]

Kelly, Scott and Swaggy won it for Lebron.

Kobe with the biggest moral victory every against Lebron.

[HOoopCityJones]

They both balled out. 19 & 17 doe

[Real14]

Bryon Scott's inside tanking.

MORAL VICTORIES ARE BETTER THAN REAL ONES .. RIGHT :cheers:

[TheMilkyBarKid]

Tonight kobe played what the defences gave him, which resulted in an efficient output from the old dog.

LeBron on the other hand willed his team to victory in a dominant AND efficient performance.

Kobe = efficient
Lebron = efficient, dominant and the winner

[Cold soul]

They each had a great game but Lebron was little bit better the way Kobe was playing Bryon should of brought Kobe back into the game earlier around 6 minute mark.

[KembaWalker]

Kobe got 16 of his 17 assists on JR Smith.

Can you back that up with stats, we can go toe to toe if you like my man, clear as day in the play-by-play, LeBron scored majority of his points against one of the weakest 2nd units in the league :roll:

How about Kobe bricking every shot but one when guarded by LeBron? :confusedshrug:

The Cavs second unit is worse, and Bron had to do a lot of his scoring surrounded by second unit teammates.
Last I checked the Cavs were dead last in bench scoring. :confusedshrug:

We can check Kobe's highlights once Dawk Ins releases em. I think Kobe got about 2 assists when covered by LeBron, and one bucket.

Let Kobe live.. About three to four of those assists weren't really assists.. :roll:

Willed his way past Kelly.......only Kelly.

4 straight clanks from the FT, one missed ally oop and 30 out of 36 points against the worst defender in the NBA (and the second unit of a lottery team).

Some win.

I'll post it once it gets released

You realize that no matter who LeBron scores against on the Lakers, he'd be scoring against a scrub defender?

He came back in like a minute later. Come on don't be silly. He's coming off an injury and they have a back to back against the Clippers tomorrow night. They had a 10 pt lead so they could afford having LeBron rest for a minute

He rested for 1:44

Maybe cause he is just getting back from injury and can only play in 5-6 minute spurts. He did the same thing against Phoenix 2 days ago.

Did he come back in the game afterwards? :facepalm

Kobe would have been a hero in this game had they come back.. He lebroned a free throw and than Let Lebron blow by him for a layup to seal the deal..

[poido123]

Kobe.


A 36 year old man in a standoff against Lebron in his prime wins IMO.


Kobe set a personal record for assists FFS.

[sbw19]

I thought Kobe outplayed LeBron until that extended rest in the 4th. You could tell he was sluggish and out of rhythm and couldn't get going like he wanted to when he came back late in the game.

I think Kobe's still adjusting to what his body can and can't allow him to do, and judging from his assist tally and improved feel for the game he's on the right track.

[Magic 32]

9 assists per game since his first rest.

This could be a good recruitment tactic.
