[QUOTE=catch24]Uh, no it doesn't. Not including this season (since he was coming off knee surgery/battling injuries all-together), Kobe's jumpshot has always been better than LeBron's. [I]Way[/I] better in fact.[/QUOTE]
Yup. I don't how people can even deny it. Even this season, Kobe was a better jump-shooter.
Lebron is a stronger and better finisher than Kobe. See Lebron stans, I'm a Kobe fan and I can admit what Lebron is better at. You guys should do the same.
[QUOTE=catch24]Uh, no it doesn't.[/quote]
It does. LeBron was a better jump shooter than Kobe in 10-11. FACT.
[quote]Not including this season (since he was coming off knee surgery/battling injuries all-together)[/quote]
Not buying the excuse, but either way, you should have at least specified this in your post then.
btw, Kobe will be coming off another knee surgery next season, so if he doesn't shoot as well as LeBron, will this be the excuse again? You should know that Kobe hasn't shot better than 10-11 LeBron from 16-23 feet for at least 5 seasons now.

Am I missing something here? From [I]10-15 FT[/I], Kobe has always been better. From [I]16-23 FT[/I] LeBron has showed signs and likely will improve. As a body though? Given the volume (hell not even factoring Freethrow percentages), Kobe is a much better shooter than LeBron and always will be.
lol at this even being debated
But yes Indian Guy, if Kobe is healthy and both him and LeBron have similar volumes from mid-to-longrange next year, and LeBron ends up shooting better, I'll be the first to admit he's a better shooter... During their peak/primes though? Not even close.
Lol at the Stanleys bringing up those bs stats.
Kobe, melo, durant, dirk would kill for those open jumpers lebrick gets.
He gets the rondo treatment on those jumpers

Don't you dare take the name White Mamba from the real White Mamba.
Btw kurosawa is the one that said in another thread that lebron was a top 5 shooter in the nba and a comparible shooter to dirk.
Some other stan said he was a better shooter than durant
Is it Kobe vs LeBron yet? lol
Dunk was ok but come on yall....he's 6'6 with stupid long arms and stays in shape. He's supposed to do stuff like this.

10-11 LeBron compares very well to all versions of Kobe, thus rendering your original statement completely incorrect.

Not really. When you factor in FT shooting and shots from 10-15 FT (volume has to be put into context), LeBron really hasn't.
Sorry, you lose again.
:roll: :roll:
[QUOTE=macpierce]this idiot should of gotten his finger fixed........his shooting has gone down hill sigh
at least this summer he gets a chance to strengthen his knee so he can actually practice lol[/QUOTE]
His fingers haven't really hindered his shot. I do believe his 3 point shooting percentage has gone down, though. It'd be nice if Kobe just took threes completely out of his game.
His injuries have noticeably affected his ball handling. It's quite sad. I'd say he's an average ball handler at best these days. At one point it was what separated himself from guys like Vince Carter (that is, before Kobe became a more well rounded player and Vince fell off a cliff).
Here's the thing, neither are great shooters. Kobe isn't Ray Allen and LeBron isn't Chris Mullin. They're both very streak and prone to jacking up a lot of bricks. I honestly think they're about equal right now, with maybe the edge going to LeBron as it seems like he can dominate from the three more than Kobe.

How do you figure when Kobe shoots about 7% better from midrange, and the FT line, while LeBron has Kobe beat from 16-23 FT by 5%?
just because he can do a wide open 360 doesnt mean crap. Hes not 40 idk why your all surprised.
did one of those idiots really say prime Kobe wasnt a great shooter :roll: :roll: :roll:
this shit is GOLD
