I just imagine Dirk and Nash reading this and laughing their asses off.
[QUOTE=Indian guy]Not really. Both barely attempt any shots from that 10-15 foot range.[/quote]
Yes really.
3 FGA from 10-15FT is about 200 shots from in an 82 game season; 1.5 FGA from 10-15 FT is about 120 shots in an 82 game season.
Again, significant.
[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]
Except, you're wrong, like always.
Kobe's 2006-2007 season where he was damn-near automatic from mid-long range (shot 42% on 8 attempts from 16-23 FT) was easily better than LeBron's shooting exhibition this season. When you factor in volume, 10-15 FT/midrange, and FT shooting, LeBron still wasn't a better shooter than Kobe. You're delusional.
[quote]That's no what you said though you said[/QUOTE]
I was talking about the volume of shots [I]on average[/I].
Kobe is still on another level than LeBron when it pertains to shooting.
[QUOTE=Indian guy]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]
Again, can you?
No, he doesn't. LeBron isn't the jumpshooter Kobe is from 10-15 FT. Not even close.

No one is comparing Kobe/LeBron to Dirk and Nash, dumbass.

Seriously, you're like a small child. When you lose an argument, you just cover your ears and go "LA LA LA LA LA I'M NOT LISTENING!"
Grow up.
Are you guys seriously quoting my ignore messages? Really?
Yes, let's debate which player is a slightly less mediocre shooter. Come on...

What is your problem dude? You called him out for his %s and he gave you the facts, now you put him on ignore and try to undermine the entire basis of the argument altogether. I guess we can only discuss elite players and elite abilities now.

Nah, it was the dickish "Educate yourself." That, and I knew it'd send him into a hissy fit.
I didn't actually call out the numbers. I said that this is a case where the numbers aren't really that relevant.
The thing is, there's not a whole lot of separation between the two. If you want to argue either side, fine. I don't because I really feel like both are fairly mediocre shooters. They can get hot and kill it or they can miss a whole bunch. To make this some big argument is a bit ridiculous.
It's like I said, it's like asking which player is better at getting assists, Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook? Does it really matter?
I feel about as comfortable with a LeBron James jump shot as I do a Kobe Bryant one.
Now if you're arguing career, I'd take Kobe. Now? Meh...
