Kobe struggles with Eastern conference defenses

[secund2nun]

Lebron's FG% dropped by 12% in the Finals last year from his regular season fg%. Conclusion = Lebron struggles with Western Conference defenses.

Look at his overall play vs the West and you will find Lebron plays better against the West than the East just like Kobe.

Lebron career stats:

Vs West: 27.6-7.4-7.1, 50% fg, 36% 3P

Vs East: 27.5-7.2-6.8, 49% fg, 32% 3P

Also Lebron shot worse against Chicago than against San Antonio.

Why the fcuk are you always saying "because it was serious/was joking" ? Why do you still make these wierd ass jokes then? You try too hard bro. I dont get what your trying to achieve... not like this is a joke thread. 41% for his Finals Career? Struggling.

Kobe's 2008 Playoff Run is (almost) 1991-1993 Jordan like

I guess LeBron is ass as well considering his Finals stats aren't the greatest, therefore LeBron struggles against the West.

Is that how it goes?

What are you even talking about right now as if that post was remotely serious? A conspiracy? Really?

Riiight because he shot 48% in 2011, 47% in 2012... his Career isnt over yet, AND the East with Pistons/Celtics/Bulls/Pacers was always known to have tougher defenses... Kobe has gone to 7 Finals, 4 times he has had BEAST WCF's, 30 PPG on 50% Ish, every time in the Finals he dropped off to reach the 40% clip.. at best 43 when he had it going the round before

Please provide LeBron's Finals stats. Let's just see them, for arguments sake.

? What do you mean? 47% is struggling? Dude you realize you're basically saying Kobe struggled in every run of his career then Come on.

You need to add context to the raw Numbers. I did. You don't seem to understand much of that...

2011 was a complete choke job/failure, it had nothing to do with some superior western defense shutting him down You dont believe that, do you?

2012: 29 Points, 10 Rebounds, 7 Assists on 47%
2013: 25 Points, 11 Rebounds, 7 Assists on 45%

Where's the 40% STRUGGLES?

Are you saying LeBron didn't struggle in the 2011 finals? I can't believe you cherry picked his FG% as if it was admirable.

Same thing happnened in 07. 12% drop (47.6 to 35.6).

[moe94]

The numbers are wrong when they don't support me. You're basically operating on the level of Kobe stans that take away his first 2-3 years to inflate his career stats. lol

Nah we were only looking at FG%. Thats where Kobe struggled, so we checked how LeBron rules there... you marked the wrong year then though

I actually take away his first 2 years too. Its called "applying context". Nobody gives him shit for 97-99 anyway. Dude was 18&19 y/o, dont mind taking anything away, especially as bench player.
