Stat whores.

Those 2 guys are so good they never have bad games on paper. :lol

But watching them, they're not THAT great at all.

Atleast Westbrook is less scared of missing shots. It comes off little more authentic than lebron's cheap, safe shot selection and play. Sweating they're ass off for those extra rebounds lol. Chasing greatness on a stat sheet... zero moves.

Luka Doncic also is better than MJ and Kobe according to his stats.



I will always judge by the eye test, i don't have a top 10 all time like you idiots. You guys keep judging by stats and media hype.

Kobe is 2 behind MJ, i don't have a top 10. Eye test, weaknesses, mentality, stats, work ethic and rings. Something like that.

Lebron and Westbrook cheapened the stats game. Those all around stats are important for jack of all trades type players.

you don't think lebron: is visibly dominant, has a strong mentality, puts up big numbers, has rings or works hard in the offseason? come on pal. objectively he does all those things. :confusedshrug: i agree that westbrook has cheapened the triple-double. but you could also say he's the ONLY player that's made it look effortless. nobody before or even now has averaged MULTIPLE td seasons.

Dominant pysically yes, and still pretty soft with it.
Does not have a strong mentality
Big numbers obviously, that's his claim to greatness mostly.
Barely 4 rings in 18 prime healthy seasons creating superteams while getting media love only seen with MJ.

It's cool if he impresses you and his fans. But he aint Kobe. Never could be.

Kobe was basketball perfection, great competitor, winner. Not a stat clown.

Russel Westbrook found his triple double rythm again, but still loosing in the East with a teammate putting up Michael Jordan stats. Still zero moves.

All weird to me.

Have you noticed players who mastered certain aspects of their game and who have higher natural iq's don't go out there way to chase those extra defensive rebounds or triple doubles?

Dame, Kawhi, KD, Steph, cp3 etc. Because they are ballers. Visible greatness.

Anyone who thinks LeBron couldn’t average the rebound and assist numbers WB averages is not a serious person. Hell he just averaged WB level assists last season. LeBron will def at times pad his stats if he’s having a bad game for his standards or if he’s close to getting 40 or 50. But OP is acting like he does it every game. That’s nonsense he’d average way more rebounds and assists (outside of 19-20) if he did that. OP is braindead.

Ofcourse, i knew things changed around that time. Lebron has been chasing greatness trough stats since 04. He might have something to do with it too.

So could MJ, Kobe and Steph if they wanted. It's just ballhandling in his lebron system gives him 22/6/6 alone if he doesn't fall asleep. He's been doing this crap since 04.

That's because they're both ballhogs than kong ever was. Also lol at kobe being interested in the triangle. He often used to say that it was boring because it wouldn't allow him to be more creative in his shots, which usually created heated arguments with phil jackson and shaq back in the day. The last season would summarize most of that.

I sincerely doubt that. Kobe in his younger years was immature, stubborn and usually refused to listen to authority (coaches) when commanded for team play. He also isn't quite scared to break the law at times on the court when he feels the need to. He's had his own set of troubles playing second fiddle to shaq as well, which sparked their rivalry and animosity towards each other when they were still teammates, that peaked in their last season together. Now just because phil himself was able to lead their team into a dynasty during the early 00s doesn't mean they weren't running into locker or management problems behind the scenes.

The pace has weakened the significance of a triple double.

More possessions = more attempts at points, rebounds and assists (especially when considering there are more jumpshots now than before and 3pt fgs relative to all fgs which help guards getting long rebounds).

Big numbers obviously, that's his claim to greatness mostly.
Barely 4 rings in 18 prime healthy seasons creating superteams while getting media love only seen with MJ.

It's cool if he impresses you and his fans. But he aint Kobe. Never could be.

Kobe was basketball perfection, great competitor, winner. Not a stat clown.

Russel Westbrook found his triple double rythm again, but still loosing in the East with a teammate putting up Michael Jordan stats. Still zero moves.

All weird to me.

lebron's led THREE teams to championships while winning THREE fmvps - which is more than kobe. so how exactly does lebron have a "softer" mentality? we both agree kobe was HIGHLY skilled, but if lebron's superior playmaking, finishing and three-point shooting do not impress you, then maybe basketball isn't your thing? being great isn't about who scores pretty which is what you're arguing.

The guy still thinks that the late Kobe Bryant is still better than LeBron

Yeah as far as careers go i put bron over kobe but as far as who's a better player i think it's close and i don't have a problem witn anyone who thinks kobe's better. Alot of experts including players who played both put kobe even or better than than bron. I don't because bron has better stats and accolades. Alot of players use experience and eye test to where it would be alot closer

Whenever op sees the others praise kong for doing something great or impressive, he instantly thinks they're bronsexuals already. :sleeping

The pace has weakened the significance of a triple double.

More possessions = more attempts at points, rebounds and assists (especially when considering there are more jumpshots now than before and 3pt fgs relative to all fgs which help guards getting long rebounds).

Yup, the extra posessions has also worsened the defense. The top 8 teams all-time in ORTG are all from these last 2 seasons, so the longevity thing also comes into question as it's much easier to put up numbers as the years go on.

Westbrook no triple double tonight, fell 1 assist short. But that's only because Beal was off (0-9 on 3s lol). But he got the dub :pimp:

That was with 0 spacing. It was literally worse than his OKC days with Roberson out there :lol 1-21 on 3s from the rest of the Wiz :biggums:
