Why did LeBron shoot 57% FG in his prime while Kobe shot 45% FG in his prime?

[Pip' N Rodman]

Was LeBron's 1" more height and 20 pounds more weight the difference in scoring efficiency or was LeBron simply just the more skilled scorer? :confusedshrug:

[Baller789]

Because Lebron stiff armed his way to the rim?

[Spurs m8]

Why is op still a virgin...?

I'd be more interested in that tbh

[LAL]

They weren't playing the same game. Lebron is a coward and unimpressive.

[Airupthere]

Why did wade avg 55% in the same year that lebron did? It became a vanity point for the two of them during the heat days.

Desperate cherry picking as usual. Kobe came up SMALL in the clutch :(



6-24

Lebron's FG% also decreased by 4.8% from RS to POs during that stretch.

Woah, that's a big drop for lebron. Barea?

[Kobe_Bryant]

lebrons not a good shooter though. this is why we have the eye test. javale Mcgee has a high fg% too. if you only shoot wide open or layups it makes you look better at basketball than you really are

[ELITEpower23]

Kobe never shot above .469% even once in his 20 year career meanwhile LeBron has done this every year after his rookie year. Kobe sucks.

[n00bie]

Was LeBron's 1" more height and 20 pounds more weight the difference in scoring efficiency or was LeBron simply just the more skilled scorer? :confusedshrug:

Because Lebron relied on his body to drive to the rim. If you don't know this by now, you never watched basketball.

[2much_knowledge]

Why did Kobe scored more in 3 quarters than lebron his whole life?

[Kobe_Bryant]

Kobe never shot above .469% even once in his 20 year career meanwhile LeBron has done this every year after his rookie year. Kobe sucks.

analytical data proved that lebron shot 4 contested shots in the last 2 years

he is dared to shoot or drives and stiff arms for a layup.

hes not a real player. totally manufactured

[SaintzFury13]

Why is op still a virgin...?

I'd be more interested in that tbh

The only people who still think virgin is an insult are still virgins themselves. You constantly throwing this term out there reeks of insecurity.

This is almost as stupid as your proof that LeBron took steroids.

[hiphopanonymous]

Kobe: 6-4.75 barefoot, 205lbs

LeBron: 6-8 barefoot, 265lbs

Orlando Shaq: 6-11.5 barefoot, 310lbs

See what 3.5 inches and 45 pounds does?

[Kobe_Bryant]

This is almost as stupid as your proof that LeBron took steroids.

and all I ever said was lebron was linked to a Miami steroid clinic in 2013 with jameer Nelson and returned there in 2015 after early struggles in Cleveland

believe what you want

[j3lademaster]

FG% is too shortsighted. a better comparison of their efficiency is:

Lebron 58.6% ts/ 58.3% ts playoffs for his career

Kobe 55% ts/ 54.1% ts playoffs for his career

[RRR3]

On almost all of his shots that are heavily contested LeBron creates a good deal of space by fading away or stepping back. Kenny is too retarded to use that context though. He’s also only referring to shots taken outside of 10 feet and almost all of those shots by LeBron these days are 3s. There’s a lot of open 3s.

[outofstomach]

why are threads like these always made without context?

no one who actually knows basketball thinks lebron is even close to kobe as a scorer

[RRR3]

Also I don’t even believe those stats because I can find a single game from last year where LeBron hits a bunch of contested jumpers: https://youtu.be/iVr79GTlx-0

LeBron is a vastly superior NBA player. Thats why.

no. defenders give lebron the shot and have since his rookie year.

I don't know maybe because kobe played his prime during a harder scoring era:confusedshrug: during that same period bron wasn't shooting 57%. I don't think he cracked 50% once.

We have now reached a point of you outright demonstrating that you don't know what contested means.

Also, you can watch a single game from any of those seasons/playoffs to see that this list is a load of shit.

its been illegal to contest outside shots for a while now. you gotta give the shooter "his landing area" lmao
