Who is the more dangerous player in the post, Kobe or Lebron?

[Illuminati]

Yeah, Kobe doesn't attract double teams.

He does. But more than likely he'll still take the shot and clank it. While LeBron can find the open man, quickly.

so were all in agreement its kobe bryant? cool
cool cool

When Kobe played almost exclusively out of the post in fall 09 when Pau was out, that was better than any version of Lebron's post up game. Larger/longer body of work. Hasn't been there as much as he should because of spacing issues with two post up players usually there.

Stats says lebron was the better post player last year.

All I needed to hear. Bron is the better post player.

Very good video. Good example of Kobe getting double teamed and passing out of the post, couple of cuts and handoffs, and skill.

Nice. Kobe played that style for basically a 2 month stretch. Check his logs for Nov+Dec 09

Watch Kobe from February-April last season. He LIVED in the post, he averaged 7+ assists a game from making plays OUT of the post. Lebron is raw when compared to Kobe in the post. This is not even a debate.

here are some examples from last season, he is easily the most fluid post player I've ever seen

He also averaged the most points per post up and had the highest fg% with 60 about the same point of the season last year, he became even better later in the season.

this is from a year ago, about 40 games into the season

look at those numbers

[Black and White]

Kobe Bryant not even close.

[orange_chicken]

Lebron's post is a joke. He's like Dwight Howard. If he doesn't have those elite players on his team he wouldn't dare go to the post since he aint gonna have anyone to pass the ball to. Look how the Nets deal with Lebron, they had him iso in the post and he got exposed pretty bad when he was forced to score after couldn't find an open teammate.

[STATUTORY]

Kobe was the highest in post efficiency last season

[sportjames23]

I can't believe this is actually a thread.

It's not even close. It's like comparing Dwight in the post to Hakeem.

This.

No, it wasn't.

post game is still kobe but lebron is getting there
