One game son... one game. Lebron was the leading rebounder for both teams. I am talking about for an entire series.

Lebron did that this every game while also defending durant.. Kobe couldnt defend Durant is his life depended on it.

Lebron is built like Karl Malone, Kobe is built like MJ, one of Lebron's responsibilities is to rebound the ball because of the heat personnel and that's one of his talents, given his size and plus he played closer to the basket, so he should be rebounding, my point in bringing that game up is that Kobe could do other things to help the team win in winning time situations, that's all

Miami got away with not having a center because Perkins is trash...and you do know that Kobe grabbed like 18 boards in that clincher against the Celtics in 2010 although he had a woeful shooting night? Niggas try to reduce Kobe to a taller Allen Iverson just to prop up Lebron when that shit is unnecessary and dishonest, but I know everybody likes to hop on the "I hate Kobe" and "every young nigga that can score 20 pts is better than Kobe" bandwagons, so this is a futile exercise

Kobe is a great player, but in his own words, he's a shorter version of the guy who just lost to the Heat...

Let me break it down, Kobe almost has no chance of ever being as great as Jordan, James on the other hand, has a legit shot of being as good or at least 1a.
James biggest stumbling block has always been the sorry ass teams he played on, as opposed to Kobe who always played on a All star filled squad... Now that James has his horses, I expect him to win at least 4 rings, and many more MVP trophies, if that does happen, talks of him and Jordan will be legit..

Good luck with that prediction....

yo homie.. i actually dont even care.. i gotta roll..this shit is gonna be hilarious now though... how people begin to frame things in relation to lebron now that he won...

Re: ~-~-~-~Official 2012 NBA Finals Thread: Miami Heat vs. OKC Thunder(Heat 3-1)~-~-~

So Kobe was holding Derek Fisher back from being the star that he is now? I'm done...

You just disqualified yourself from any logical basketball debate with that silly statement

The hate is strong bro....

I'm a Kobe fan and I like Bron too, it's not difficult, y'all niggas pledge allegiance and do solemnly swear by Lebron and make Kobe public enemy #1...whatever makes y'all happy tho

No I am saying, he dosn't make his player better, Kobe could score 40 and the Lakers could lose by 20, in many ways he plays more like Westbrook and Durant..

Look at my track record, predicted the Heat would beat the Thunder (due to match up problems) and one of the few that predicted the Thunder would adjust and beat the Spurs after being down 0-2..

Just like westbrook..

somebody mentioned that Phil should coach the Thunder and constrain westbrook with the triple post offense...

why you so worried about Kobe... he wasnt even a topic of discussion until you you started talking the muthafucka... it is only the butt-hurt kobe fans even talking about him..

all yall came out of lurk-mode tonight mad and shit

Try again...Kobe was brought up by someone who said that now Lebron has a ring, he is better than Kobe, I commented and all the BGOL Lebron is my fake homeboy niggas came out in full force....

I ain't mad at Lebron or the Heat, Lebron's accomplishments doesn't all of a sudden invalidate the back to back chips the Lakers won, my point was that niggas couldn't wait to heap dirt on Kobe and their fake homeboy, Lebron, winning a ring, now somehow validates that Kobe now ain't shit in their own warped minds..

Re: ~-~-~-~Official 2012 NBA Finals Thread: Miami Heat vs. OKC Thunder(Heat 3-1)~-~-~

Also you must not remember Jordan before getting his first ring, people was saying the same things they said about LeBron, at times it was a big joke... But like James he changed up, and that same look Jordan had, James had today... And once he got that look, winning became easy...
I know this is what Kobe fans fear the most, and something that at their back of their minds know is unavoidable,.... Yes the day that you guys have been fearing for years is finally here...

People really need to go back and look at the statistics and his impact on defense. Up until the last month, he was on on a ridiculous pace... just in terms of offensive efficiency and defensive impact, it ranks up there just below with the best seaons jordan had.

and the way he ended the season just topped it up....

I am the fist to say that my prediction are not fool proof and I have been wrong just as much as anybody... So what....... What I do pride is my logic, and assessment of the game, I said the Heat should win, only because of their match ups, knowing that their big three would command more rotation and attention than KD who is primarily a jump shooter, and Westbrook more of a lose cannon....
I said the Spurs had a much easier schedule, only playing the eastern good teams once, and not fairing well against them... I looked at them as a one trick pony that had to be figured out...

Like wise I am making these predictions on James based on logic and my knowledge of the games.... As opposed to you thinking like a fan....

Actually I don't hate the Lakers, I hate that they give Kobe credit for the shit the other players on the team do, and that they would be much better if Kobe wasn't so selfish at times... I have always been a team player and loves how James goes out of his way to incorporate his teammates in his success...

Re: ~-~-~-~Official 2012 NBA Finals Thread: Miami Heat vs. OKC Thunder(Heat 3-1)~-~-~

yea bosh deserves his roasting but props to lebron and miami shutting up those kobe loving fruitcakes and haters. how you feeling cleveland? lebron is way better than kobe at this point

I dont think its even a discussion anymore as to who the best bball player is.

People always referred to LeBron as the most "talented", or the best all-around, but always refrained from saying he was the best straight up cause the conventional thinking is you cant be the best if you never won.

Now its over.

Whats more, he outplayed the 2nd best player in 4 straight games of the NBA finals.

Kobe is just a gunner at this point and time of his illustrious career. He will make a case for top 5 all time when its all said and done.

The torch has been passed.

He used to say a lot of that to Kobe but this year especially its almost like he is saying this is how you play team ball and how you have to play to be the best...
This year Magic has been harder on Kobe than ever, and has been harping on team play, making your teammates better and not hogging the ball....

Reminds me of something I read yesterday

Read the first three pages of this thread

I know right. A lot of them dudes dropped the fuck off after game 2

But Kobe has NEVER played as well as Lebron did in this finals..

Please, Kobe has two all star 7 footers, Artest, had Fisher (who looks much better with out Kobe hogging) in short Kobe dosn't make his teammates better, and LeBon does... Plus he may have played the best season out of any NBA player.... While Kobe has one MVP..

why you so worried about Kobe... he wasnt even a topic of discussion until you you started talking the muthafucka... it is only the butt-hurt kobe fans even talking about him..

all yall came out of lurk-mode tonight mad and shit

I deal with this shit everyday at work. Kobe and the Lakeshow been a nonmothafuckin factor for a month now and in every NBA Finals discussion, a random Kobe stan finds a creative way to mention his boo

Kobe is a great player, but in his own words, he's a shorter version of the guy who just lost to the Heat...

OKC sucked major ass... They should trade that fuck up Westbrook and get a real point guard. That team just hurls up shots with little passing and no true offense. The played like utter shit. Dallas beat the VERY SAME Heat team last year, and this team that is younger, and has more fire power then the Mavs, get slapped around and show no heart in a win or go home game. All OKC fans should kill themselves...

Hey I was wrong on this one and I'm a LeBron fan. I've never been more happy yo be wrong. LeBron did everything any team could've asked for, all that negative shit that's been said about LeBron is now ancient history. LeBron delivered big!

Congrats to the Lebron and heat. Now next year the media will jump on the Knicks and Melo all year. But really Miami deserves this. It hard to win a title. Jordan got six. Kobe got five. Durant will be back. I think for Lebron man this is like I got my title fuck all y'all who kept doubting me. Hell dude got to the finals twice with sorry teams. Lebron best player in the league.

Miller like hell yeah I got it in to say I deserved my ring. And Pat Riley may be the coolest muthafucka on earth. And judging from the reaction Spo released just as much pressure as Lebron did

Re: ~-~-~-~Official 2012 NBA Finals Thread: Miami Heat vs. OKC Thunder(Heat 3-1)~-~-~

Finally dude can get his due. He's been the best player in the league for the past 5 years. People can use the ring issue but he's been better than Kobe. What does Kobe do better than Lebron except score? And that's only by a couple of points per game? People use rings but name one team Lebron had that was better than Kobe's title teams? Not like Kobe was taking garbage to the Finals and winning. I give Kobe a ton of props when he has the tools he wins or comes damn close. People need to realize that just because you think Lebron is better doesn't mean you hate Kobe..

Like ewwwlll said as far as Finals performances Kobe has never had a dominant Finals like this. Then he crowned it with a triple double.
