Contrived, Preconceived Stat Padding (Kobe v.s. LeBron)

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Stat padding against the Bobcats. Good sh!t, Bron. You're DA BESS!

[RoboticWang]

Skip Bayless: LeBron not dominant enough to have a perfect game, he just can't mentally reach the level of a Kobe or Jordan..

LOL @ people acting like I'm mad or even hating on LeBron for this admitted stunning performance.

I'm just saying, there is a similar agenda between players. Bron has admitted to passing up shots before to protect his FG percentage. Or regretting taking shots.

That isn't ORGANIC basketball. No matter how you cut it, or how nice the performance was.

"organic baskedball" . You're trying to hard bud. Give it up

I guess when you'r just too good and put up video game numbers haters call it "stat padding".

You mean "too" right? You just started watching bball in 2010 when the big three super friends came together.

Your opinion means nadda to me, rookie.

Is that really your argument?

My argument is in the original post. Read, Sebass.

When you play the game with an agenda to pad stats, whether it be Kobe and his assists lately.

Or LeBron and his field goal percentage. It's phony, and contrived. Passing up shots to protect a field goal percentage isn't natural basketball. Especially from a star player.

That's my argument. It's not me hating on either Kobe or LeBron, just pointing out something that doesn't sit well with me as a fan.

Guy passed up shots to fluff his shooting %'s. Hell, even some of his BIGGEST fans thought it was obvious:

Is LeBron's goal to have a perfect shooting game today? He's passing up a lot of shots in this qtr.

I get that feeling too.

Wade looks uninterested and Bron looks too invested in trying to have a perfect shooting game since its blatantly obvious hes only taking easy shots.

Not even worth dealing with if your gonna resort to this bullshit.

But I thought Lebron had no jumper and needed to just live in the paint?

[Legends66NBA7]

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but haven't James and Wade spoken to the media about their goals on trying to get over 50%fg during each game this season ?

[GreatGreg]

How do you criticize LeBron after a game like this? How?

[2010splash]

No need to grasp at straws and nit-pick over something so meaningless. Passing up shots to find higher percentage opportunities to score? Gee... what a selfish thing to do.

LeBron is now shooting .555 FG%. Let that sh-t sink in homeboy.

Back to back MVP again. Give him 4 in 5 years. 2013 Finals MVP too.

What a terrible goal to have. How dare they want to be efficient basketball players. ****ing pathetic!
