Kobe & Lebron are assigned to guard each other game 7 finals

[Marchesk]

What would result be?

This is the question ISH has been working up to all these years.

'09 and '10 were set up perfectly for this to happen...

LeBron historically owns Kobe in their matchups (inb4 ASG gif), so I'm gonna go with LeBron.

Remember, these figures were determined from very small sample sizes. Tiny. Darn near minuscule. Forty iso's in all. You're talking an average of about one attempt per game from James and just four from Bryant. Plus, isolation plays may be the kissing-est cousin the NBA has to one-on-one play, but it's not the same thing to being on the floor with four other guys per side, trying to operate against a defender while working within a system, being mindful of the double that may come and who you'd pass to if it does ... and on down the line with every wrinkle presented during an actual league outing. In-game situations don't replicate the single-minded nature of playing one-on-one, so it would be foolish to let these figures convince you otherwise.

Quit the BS. Bran's numbers H2H look better overall for simple reasons...1. Kobe was older and didn't look at playing against Bran as his personal championship. (Kobe felt that way playing against Jordan, while Bran felt that way playing against Kobe) 2. Bran uses tons of picks and would never dare go 1 on 1 against Kobe, because he'd be embarrassed. Kobe, as evidenced by the numbers, did not call for picks and just went straight at his student. 3. The Cavs had a much better team in a lot of those match-ups, while Kobe was carrying Kwame and Smush to the playoffs, still.

Quit the BS he says...but then uses irrelevances like using more picks and Kobe being older (though that same time frame is when most Kobe-stans agrees to Kobe peaking) as his response. :rolleyes: :facepalm :rolleyes:

You got exposed.

[WayOfWade]

Who would be able to check the other one better? LeBron is better fitted to guard Kobe than Kobe guarding LeBron, but Kobe is the superior offensive player. For a personal opinion, I think Kobe would torch LeBron for probably 3 games of a 7 game series, and then have a poorish 4 other games. LeBron would expend so much energy guarding Kobe though that he'd maybe have 1 or 2 good offensive games. This is assuming that they are both in their primes though, like 09' Kobe vs 13' LeBron.
As for who would win the series? That's another discussion

Huge Kobe fan here. Where are the advanced stats? I see Lebron played more minutes, and had more turnovers and fouls.

ze hypocraseee is reel

[JT123]

Seeing as Lebron has the highest game 7 scoring average in nba history and Kobe is one of the worst elimination game performers ever (for a superstar) I'll go with Bron.

Prime Bean would roast Bran. Name any part of the court, scoring wise of course.

kobe: 30-35ish

bran: 26-27ish

Judging by what we know now, Kobe would've shot 6-24 while Bron was being shut down by Trevor Ariza, who would win Finals MVP.

That would have been epic. I think deep down Kobe wanted to beat LeBron in a Finals. Kobe is game. He wants to play versus the best.

[ShawkFactory]

Their primes never exactly coincided, and when it did for 09 and 10 they were pretty evenly matched. Kobe had the strong advantage before that, Lebron after.

Since the article doesn't consider what happened after, it's unfair to use.

[ShaqTwizzle]

Trevor Ariza is very good at guarding Lebron.

Lebron shot 5-20 and 9-25 against the Laker's in 2009 when they had Ariza.

[kennethgriffin]

allot of kobe post up fade aways


allot of lebron settling for crappy shots like he did vs iggy



kobe shoots 42-43%

lebron shoots 30-33%


it would be a battle of midrange shooting. and kobe would win

that was a defensive grind it out game for everyone

and nobody was a more skilled rebounder/defender in game 7 than kobe


going 10+ over his rebounding average

and holding pierce/allen to 8 for 29

[tmacattack33]

Game 7? LOL.

Let's see, we can go with the one who is terrible in Game 7's or the one who is pretty sick in Game 7's.

[G0ATbe]

Whether y'all like it or not, the closest thing we got to this was the all star game...you know...the one where kobe blocked the living shit out of him multiple times at 36 years old while LeBald was at his absolute peak.:lol

[SouBeachTalents]

I know what would happen if Russell and Wilt played in a Game 7

i'm pretty sure kobe helped tremendously in saving the lakers in WCF game 7 in 2000... and WCF game 7 in 2002

[Papaya Petee]

i'm pretty sure kobe helped tremendously in saving the lakers in WCF game 7 in 2000... and WCF game 7 in 2002

Lebron game 7 vs Boston (2012) - 31 points 12 rebounds 3 assists
Lebron game 7 vs Indiana (2013)- 32 points 8 rebounds 4 assists
Lebron game 7 vs San Antonio (2014) - 37 points 12 rebounds 4 assists

As far as the topic,
LeBron is 14-6 versus Kobe head to head, while averaging more points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, FG and 3PT %
Lebron has been the best game 7 performer of all time. 37/12/4 in game 7 of the finals
Kobes game 7 in the finals vs Boston was a 23/15 performance while shooting 6/24......

No brainer Lebron outplays Kobe

Kobe is an atrocious game 7 player. 21 ppg on 40%fg. You should already know this if you're a Kobe fan.

In elimination games overall, he shoots 39%fg.
In finals game 7's, he shoots 25%fg.

How can this be? According to the media Kobe is
clutch/an assassin/a cold blooded killer :wtf:

It really is a shame how much the ESPN hype train has fooled people when it comes to Kobe's supposed "unmatched killer instinct" :facepalm
But I guess that is the only possible way they can hype Kobe up, by using a bunch of hyperbole and catch phrases that can't be measured. When it comes to advanced stats and individual accomplishments it's clear that Kobe just doesn't belong in the same league with other all time greats.
