OBVIOUSE-****ing-ly they are going to have differences in their FG%...

There's a reason why most if not all NBA players have kobe in their top 10 ratings but you fans don't, its because you haven't played basketball at a high level.

Lebron has a higher career 3p% than Kobe on more attempts.


On lower difficulty.

Yeah Lebron who for a large chunk of his career was lucky to have opposing defences have to focus on stopping prime Shaq, who had one of (if not the) most dominant peaks of all time.

He is not as brave and he likes to defer when it counts. That's why he is 3-6 in the finals. Where is that superior intelligence?

What on earth is that pass by Shaw at the end?

It's like when people jokingly pretend to play basketball really badly.

Sometimes you forget you post with children. Then you read stuff like this.

And? Kobes death was a tragedy but its been two months already. People should able to discuss normal basketball discourse without this whining.

Only this isn’t a normal discussion and the intent is clear. But damn, so edgy and dark. Very cool. Very impressed.

Not about being edgy but hey I'm impressed by your use of retired reddit comebacks.

Point is yeah he died it was sad but that has nothing to do with the thread. People should be able to talk about Kobe like they did before now. Especially since theres a pandemic going on. Sorry dude but your role model isn't the most important story right now

Who wants to hear a story where the main character was morally perfect and never experienced adversity and was always successful? That sounds like the most boring story ever. Perfection is BORING. Show me a hero who always makes the correct decision, and I'll show you someone I can't learn anything from.
