View Full Version : AD is top producer on 2020 and 2023 Lakers, so Lebron will have 2 chips as 2nd scorer

3-peat with Pippen = 4-peat with Wade

20 years of longevity confirms that Lebron isn't capable of a dynasty, 3-peat or 6 chips with any lineup, aka objectively inferior to MJ

With the emergence of Reaves and D'Lo as reliable scores, Lebron is actually the 4th option now. In fact lakers shouldu strongly consider starting Rui Hachimura over Lebron, who is not a defensive liabilty like Lebron and can shoot better.

Lebron needs teammates that can match or lead in scoring for entire playoff runs and therefore requires more help than Jordan or Kobe.

Passers like Magic and Lebron need great scorers to pass to and therefore need more help than the great scorers themselves, who often need zero passing help, aka Kobe, or less than everyone else had, aka MJ

Any team with AD or Lebron as the 2nd-best player should win 60-70 every year.

Instead, Lebron's bad chemistry yields weak teams, which serves to manufacture an underdog story despite having a favorite cast - this is fraud designed to inflate the value of his rings because his ring frequency is possibly the weakest of any top 10 all-time candidate.

The notion that Lebron has weak chemistry which turns favorites into underdogs isn't a subjective opinion - Lebron's teams begin as the preseason favorite but fell to Finals underdog or loser for 6 straight years (2011-2016) and fell to loser in 2021 or 2022 as well..

Lebron was also lottery with Ingram and Kuzma at 34 years old (when he was already a goat candidate), yet you guys knock rookie MJ for losing in the 1st Round (long BEFORE he was a goat candidate).. So the facts show in so many ways that MJ is objectively the GOAT - it's a fake debate.

The post that you responded to said that Lebron needs elite-producing teammates that can match his scoring for entire playoff runs - this is true because Wade, Kyrie and AD matched Lebron in scoring for entire playoff runs.

Otoh, Kobe didn't need this to win titles - he could win with secondary producers like Pau that required him to defeat max defensive attention (carry scoring load in Finals).. Lebron can't carry the scoring load like Kobe or MJ, so he needs more help, aka elite-producing sidekicks (1b's) and 3rd star scorers/3 first options (super-team).

So Kobe is superior because he could win with less help, aka secondary producer at sidekick (no 1b) and no 3rd star scorer/no 3rd first option (no super-team).. Kobe would win with less because his expert jumpshooting skillset and lesser need for ball-dominance (imposition of spot-up roles) allowed the highest strategic capacity/coaching and chemistry.

No he wasn't. AD in the RS led them in everything but assists per game. In the POs he led them in scoring and was the best defender and the best player in the first 3 series of that run before Bran stat-padded vs. an injured Heat team. He also had the better On/Off numbers in the POs though both crushed it as their competition was relatively weak compared to most title runs.

You're such a disingenuous ****wit. Ignoring your cherry picking for a second, you use metrics and stats whenever it's convenient for you. Would you use these stats and metrics to compare LeBron and Kobe? Of course not, 'cause you're a clown.

A couple of quick observations about your hilariously retarded post.

LeBron stat padded vs a weak team? The Heat were the only team to take the Lakers to 6. Lakers steam rolled the WC with every single series being 4-1 and LeBron averaged 27/10/9/1/1 in that stretch on 64% TS%. AD averaged 29/9/4/1/1 on 66% TS%. 2 more PPG and 2% better efficiency with 5 fewer assists.

Kobe was not the best player in '01, you absolute clown. :roll: :roll:

Not really. Most people have him at #2. If he doesn't get FMVP, Jordan's still got 6 to his 4. So how do you think that winning a 3rd/4th, or even 2nd for that matter, option ring will give him a bump?

Boosting his legacy and surpassing Jordan are not mutually exclusive. Even if he was #2 all time, his legacy can grow without moving to #1.

It would also make it harder for people who don’t have him that high (fringe top 10) to argue, though they will argue anyway.

Nah. He'll still be fringe top ten. Winning a ring is always good, but it's not going to make up for his numerous choke jobs this year, spending most of the season in the lottery until he sat out, leading a super team to the playoffs last year, and getting a first round elimination the year before.

I recognize that I have a minority opinion right now in having him fringe top ten. Most have him #2, as I stated. However, that's due to recency bias and media hype.

Again, 1 series does not define an entire post-season run. KB was the best player through 3 series, as was AD in 2020. WCF was the real Finals in both cases. Shaq was a non-factor in crunch time that entire post-season run while KB was the most dominant 4th quarter/crunch time player in the POs and was unstoppable vs. Kings & Spurs with peak Jordan type performances.

Again, 1 series does not define an entire post-season run. KB was the best player through 3 series, as was AD in 2020. WCF was the real Finals in both cases.

Throughout the run, AD was better scoring in 2 series and Bron was better in 2. Their raw scoring and efficiency was almost exactly the same, as was their advanced numbers with AD being slightly higher in some and Bron in others. Outside of numbers, AD led defensively and Bron offensively, as anyone who watched could tell you.

Saying definitively that one was better than the other there is silly. It's about as close to a 1a/1b situation we've ever seen outside of maybe 2001.

Yep. When it finally down to the Championship round, Shaq and LeBron were clearly better than Kobe and AD. Shaq being significantly better than Kobe.

Shaq was a non-factor in crunch time that entire post-season run while KB was the most dominant 4th quarter/crunch time player in the POs and was unstoppable vs. Kings & Spurs with peak Jordan type performances.

Shaq averaged like 30ppg throughout entire western run in 2001.

You were born after 2002 and it shows.

He's trying to slide Kobe into deserving a fmvp during the 3 peat.

Ain't happening.

If Kobe deserves 2001 fmvp. Than Bron deserves 2015.

Guess Kobe choked at the highest stages then often in his career based on all of your posts. Lights were too bright so he ended up getting outplayed by teammates and opposing players.

Best player in the playoffs for three rounds in 2001 then gets demolished by Shaq and AI.

Jordan missed the playoffs at 38 and averaged 22ppg

LeBron in the playoffs and averaged 29ppg at 38.
