Not to dismiss this out of hand, but prime kobe had prime shaq for much of that span. Prime lebron had what ... sideshow bob? if prime lebron played with prime shaq i doubt his #'s would be as high. just sayin
More volume doesn't mean more efficiency. Had Kobe played without Shaq don't assume his efficiency would go up.
Lebron has shot 56%+ the last 2 years. Kobe WITH Shaq couldn't shoot better than 46%. I can't grasp how people can still fathom Kobe is the better "player." We can argue about being a better team winner b/c Kobe has more rings, but individually speaking, Lebron is miles ahead of Kobe.
http://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/steph...ng-to-cleveland-on-espn-radios-mike-and-mike/ SAS says Lebron to Cavs. He was the first to break the story in 2010 of Lebron to Miami FYI.
The possibility of LeBron choosing to leave Miami shocked me at first. Then I remember this that Shane Battier said after the playoffs. "It was a very difficult year. There were very few pure moments. We were trying to conjure something."
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports....-to-the-cavaliers/?ocid=Yahoo&partner=ya5nbcs Apparently a web designer checked his website and there were a few pages added yesterday with no data but just Cleveland cavaliers colors.
SAS was on ESPN 1000 earlier today. Basically saying Lebron and Riley are not seeing eye to eye right now. Riley wanted to have a meeting in person with Lebron but Lebron's people did not let that happened. So now Riley is pissed off and SAS stated Lebron was bothered by what Riley had said after the Finals. Not sure what that was since I missed the first part of discussion. SAS believes his source that Lebron will be back in Cleveland but he doesn't trust anyone either. Well, take it for what its worth guys...
no it just means 2 of those players should be compared to eachother, not the one that shoots sub 45%, and is statistically inferior in every single category inb4 muh rings
It was that Riley speech about having the guts to stay B.....T. If I were Lebron, that would have pissed me off too. Riley was playing mind games.

Damn. Two days ago I gave this a 5% chance. Still trying to temper hopes until it's OFFICIAL. But I can't help but listen to the Cleveland sports radio echo chamber that's right there at the edge.
But why is it you guys ONLY bring up FG% when it's Lebron vs Kobe? If it's that much of a difference, is Lebron better than MJ too? Lebron shoots 56%, that's 7 percentage points over Jordan. Is MJ statistically inferior to Lebron?
