If people are using Kobe's worst Finals performance than please use Lebron's his 4/16 shooting 14 pts 7 rbs 4 asts 6 Turnovers was far worse than today's performance.

Compare these two stat lines for a second:

4 out of 20 shooting (20%), 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, - Kobe

3 out of 11 shooting - 27% 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals - LeBron



In comparison: LeBron scored the same amount of points as Kobe on 9 less shots, had 4 more rebounds, 4 more assists.

Please, if you're going to say "well, Kobe never had such a bad game in the Finals!!!", do some research.


lol troll post.

Kobe wasnt even considered a superstar back in 2000(he made the leap the next year) and was also injured.

Lebron is considered the best player in the entire NBA and some are calling him the greatest of all time.

BIG DIFFERENCE

I saw your signature, you're obviously a Kobe hater who does not use rational arguments when it deals with Kobe

This, and that Lebron has pretty much no ability to drive anymore. His first step is completely gone and there are nights when he has no explosion at all. Just play up on him and he can't do anything. He blew two layups tonight that would've been guaranteed dunks in Cleveland because he only got like 5 inches off the ground, and that fast break dunk he barely got high enough to put the ball in. And he's only 26. It could get ugly soon.


What's sad about tonight is that I can't even put the blame on his severely diminished athletic ability. The previous losses during the regular season and EC playoffs I could, but tonight he wasn't even trying. Nothing was stopping him from being aggressive and taking jump shots out there LIKE HE'S DONE ALL FREAKING YEAR, but he flat out refused to do it. I swear, it felt like he was intentionally trying to throw the game. At the very least he was trying his best to be a complete non-factor.

All signs point to Chris Bosh. Notice the recent rise in Bosh's play.

Except the Cavs didn't have Wade and LeBron let the game get out of control.

Absolutely awful performance tonight. WIth Dirk struggling that bad, that should have been a guaranteed win for the Heat but LeBron didn't seize the moment. Hopefully it will come back to bite them, but unfortunately, he's playing with a true champion in Wade who could carry him to the ring, and the Mavs just aren't that great of a team.

He's going to get bailed out of this one way or another...you could see this scenario playing out when the bi-three teamed up.

Wade is gonna need his second option to step it up for the Heat to have a chance next game.

props to Wade though. I thought in 2006 he was helped a lot by the refs but this series hes been amazing and tonight(besides the play at the end) he was spectacular

Simply put, this game has got to be one to leave a mark on Lebron's career.
It's not like he's out of his prime, he's in the middle of it. And he also played pretty well back in game 3.
Unfortunately, decent stats can't cover the fact he simply did NOT control the game. Turnovers, missed ft, missed shots, etc. Things that could have easily changed the outcome of a 3 pt. game. It just seemed he lacked motivation, rather than energy. Not to mention being outplayed and outclutched by a certain German who had a fever just the other day.

However, it's a 7 game series. Tied 2-2, let's just see how this incredible finals end.

I know you're trying to sound smart and stuff, but you're comparing a 21-year old up-and-coming star to a guy in his prime who is being heralded as a potential GOAT. You're also referring to a game that the Lakers lost by 33 points. Not very smart, now is it?

Try a little harder next time.

Why keep comparing him to others.?? If theres one player who could care less what haters think is Lebron himself. All he wants is to win rings. He already said thats all he cares about and not who's the finals mvp, etc.

Good lord, I sincerely hope people aren't bringing up Kobe's 6-24 shooting night to excuse what LeBron did today. There's a HUMONGOUS difference between the 2 games, people. One guy was actually trying to WIN his game, however poorly he may have played. The other guy was doing the OPPOSITE of trying.
