Kobe 360 dunk at 2011 Kobe Academy

lol at the lebron stans in this thread. you have to be really delusional to think lebron is in kobe's league shooting wise. as someone already stated in this thread, lebron gets the rondo treatment. teams want him to shoot, they dare him. kobe gets doubled on the perimeter constantly. just about all his perimeter shots are with a hand in his face and still shoots a better percentage. context... also, how anyone can say lebron is a good shooter is beyond me. just look at lebron's form, it's nasty.

Nice rebuttal, troll.

[QUOTE=Indian guy]

Are you not reading my posts? I said [b]10-11[/b] LeBron compares very well to all versions of Kobe jump-shot wise, and was in fact better this past season. Thus rendering your first statement completely untrue.[/QUOTE]

From 16-23 FT you may have a leg to stand on, but from 10-15 FT and the FT line, LeBron simply isn't in Kobe's league.

Try again.

when you factor in the different way they are defended on jumpers and the volume..... this convo is a joke.

[QUOTE=catch24]Significant.[/quote]

Not really. Both barely attempt any shots from that 10-15 foot range.

[quote]Right, this season... where Kobe was injured... That was my original point.[/quote]

Except nobody's comparing 10-11 LeBron to 10-11 Kobe only. I'm comparing current LeBron's jumper to all 5 seasons of Kobe that are recorded on hoopdata, and LeBron stands up very well. That's the POINT - that Kobe's no longer "on a different level" and was IN FACT worse this past season.

[quote]On average[/quote]

That's no what you said though. You said Kobe's on a different level point-blank, indicating that's true TODAY, expect it isn't at all. Current LeBron compares well against any version of Kobe jump-shot wise.

Kobe's been defended for his jumpshot first as well, that has to be factored in when comparing the %s straight up

[QUOTE=catch24]From 16-23 FT you may have a leg to stand on, but from 10-15 FT and the FT line, LeBron simply isn't in Kobe's league.[/quote]

Again, can you read? Current LeBron compares very well to ANY version of Kobe jump-shot wise. What part of this are you having a difficult time understanding?

[QUOTE=Indian guy]LeBron averages 1.5 to Kobe's 3. Neither shoots much from that range.[/QUOTE]

How is 3% better on twice the volume not significant? Especially when Kobe is being dared to drive while Lebron is being dared to shot.

[QUOTE=chazzy]Kobe's been defended for his jumpshot first as well[/quote]

Watch the games, nobody's playing LeBron for the drive anymore. He's as tightly guarded as anyone.

This is really one of the worst arguments ever. :oldlol:

that is just you psychotic version of what is happening.

Thanks to you and Indian Guy.

LeBron compared well this season to Bryant, however, over the course of the last several years, Bryant has been a better shooter than LeBron. LeBron has definitely improved and I this as his athleticism begins to wane, he will improve even more.
