at "SRS"

Simple Rating System; my colleague Doug Drinen of Pro-Football-Reference.com has written a great explanation of this method.

Wow dude, your analysis is clearly one hundred percent spot on!

But really Lebron stats would be much different if he played in the Western Conference. The Teams Lebron lost to which were 50+ win team were all defensive minded.

I believe the Team Bron lost too were Detroit, Boston and Orlando? Am I correct.

Kobe himself didn't put up amazing stats against Both the Celtics and Pistons during those years in the regular season.

This is why many different statistics were used to come to the conclusion.
Did you look at the defensive rating stats and the SRS, they all show us that Lebron still regress in the post season while Wade and Kobe excel.

Yea except he iced Boston and Orlando in the finals .

Actually I'm not the one who suggested using that statistic.
It was suggested by the guy who wrote the famous blog post outlining Kobe's playoff misses.

He wasn't expecting Kobe would come up on top though.

Anyway here is an explanation of it: http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=39

It is pretty dead on accurate.

Because it doesn't align with the agenda they are trying to accomplish.
I bet some of them at one point tried but when they saw the results, they feared greatly and destroyed it.

I like how you clowns disregard using advanced stats like PER, Per40, etc, because they're made by "fat and white bald men" yet have the gull to post this crap like its supposed to mean anything. I've already read the explanation and fully understand how the statistic works - it's dumb, flawed, and made by a guy who follows the NFL .

How is it flawed when it is accurate? Do you mind elaborating on its faults? You can't just make an assertion and expect people to take it on without factual concrete evidence proving it to be true.

Again, not only SRS was used but two other statistics pointing to the same conclusion. I don't even know why you mad, your boy Wade is doing good.

Lastly, it wasn't a Kobe fan that suggested using that statistics but a known kobe hater. Again he did not expect Kobe to come up on top and just like you he was very upset with the outcome.

Kobe and LeBron's playoff numbers against Top 5 defensive teams from 05-06 onwards.

KB8(30 games): 28.5/5.8/4.6/45%
LBJ(30 games): 28.4/7.9/7.0/42%

^ The only numbers that matter.

Well, I read the thread title/saw who was posting it and instantly knew what the conclusion was going to be(Kobe's the best). I wasn't wrong, but I must say for once you actually put up a somewhat fair and logical argument. Good Job

Nearly 60% of Kobe's playoff series' the last 5 years have come against Phx/Utah/Denver. Every freaking perimeter star dreams about facing those teams while in bed every night. As the numbers I posted above clearly indicate, against top-level defensive teams, LeBron and Kobe's production is close to a wash. And this is a 21-25 year old LeBron vs. 27-31 year old Kobe.
