Wow. His 26% shooting in the "clutch" in the playoffs? Really? His game winners in the playoffs? All 1 of them for his entire career? lol.Originally Posted by chillainvillain

Why did he have the highest usage in the league and didn't have more assists?Originally Posted by chillainvillain
Kobe did NOT have a better supporting cast than Lebron. Lebron took them to the finals because of the horrible eastern conference (aside from 1 or 2 teams). And when Lebron finally went against a west team in the playoffs, they got swept.
"Also Lebron has better stats"
Uhm.. ok? That means nothing. Like I said, that's like saying Oscar is better than Jordan because of stats.
And stats mean nothing? They don't mean everything, just almost everything. When you make a basket, that's a stat. When you steal the ball, that's a stat. When you foul someone, that's a stat. When you win a game, that's a stat. Stats are not some technical miniscule details that are just numbers on a page. They're what you do and what happened, written down. If i told you, "ZOMGZ, Kobe scored 81 points", would you say "that's just a stat. That doesn't mean anything"?
I also said that Kobe has a low fg% because he mainly shoots 3's and 18-footers. While Lebron attacks the basket most of the time and mainly gets his points in the paint from dunks and layups.
Chris Paul has a better FG% than Lebron, but does that make him a better player? No. Yes stats are important to an extent, but it shouldn't be the main reason to why someone is better than someone else.
And yeah, I'll give you that. Kobe shoots WAY too much, and that's why he misses all those shots. But his game-winners, clutch shots, clutch 3's, and scoring outburts in the playoffs make up for that imo.
