Lebron is a jack of all trades, and actually pretty good at just about all of them. His perimeter defense is especially underrated and he's got a nice little post game, he's even a better scorer than Kobe who seems to only focus on putting points on the board

Reminder that Godbrook is literally the greatest triple doubler of all time. Better than the Big O and Magic Johnson when accounted for the different styles of play in the different eras of basketball. Making him the best in the most fields of a triple double.

If you don't believe me and want to hate on the brodie, then try refuting the factual evidence.

12:30 here, watched the Hornets game, then the Warriors, then Kobe's finale. Took me to about 8am then I finished my beers and now I'm back on here.

Don't feel tired and I know if I go to bed I'll fuck my sleep pattern up so I'm just going to push on through until tonight.

On a side note, did anyone watch the Timberwolves game? 144 points? I'll probably watch it later but what the fuck happened here? I mean New Orleans are garbage but I reckon the Timberwolves could be big in a couple of seasons time with some maturity.
>>
>>66811743
I personally think LeBron is better, although it's very close.

LeBron is better in points, FG%, rebounds, assists, clutch shots and PER.

Kobe has more actual accolades (More rings, more 60+ games etc. and while I think it's hard to choose between them, I have to say LeBron takes the edge. I don't mean to take anything away from Kobe, but certain things, like the 81 point game, doesn't particularly impress me as much as his other achievements. 60% from the field is pretty good, but you can't deny he got fed the ball the entire night because the rest of the team were pish poor. Keeping up that consistency throughout 81 points though is fairly impressive, but the sheer number itself doesn't really make a huge difference to me.
>>
>>66812993
It's too bad triple doubles have nothing to do with being a good player. He's easily bottom 3rd of the league at his position

>>
>>66813755
>anyone who disagrees with me is shitposting

Fact: Westbrook is not averaging a triple double

The end
>>
Last night was the perfect Kobe send off. He was never the most efficient. But what you knew he could do is score above the league average even if he had five guys on him. 22-50 is impressive from any player - chucking that much is extremely tiring - and especially so from one who's body has been failing him for years now. He also broke a record in a career where he's broken records. And 60 points from him now, that's impressive, even if the Jazz wanted to let him score a few.
>>
>>66813776
Dumb cunt, he's telling you it's impossible fur to the differences in eras and rule changes. If someone were to average a triple double now, even if it was only 10 in each field, it would low Oscar out of the water relatively. Even Westbrook right now blows Oscar out of the water relatively

Why thought? Assists were harder to come by in Oscar's era. Rebounds were easier to get and there were more of them, relative to today, but rebounding guards were not really very common and most guards would not have went for large rebounding numbers just like most guards today run back on defense instead of crashing the offensive glass or get out on the fast break instead of crashing the defensive glass.

I think due to TALENT parity, it would be much harded to avg. a triple double today. The rules and playstyles have actually made it somewhat easier, though.

what % of NBA players could get 60 points if they were allowed to take 50 shots and 12 foul shots. PRO TIP: at least half of them.
>>
>>66813945
Rebounds come from missed shots and mostly from jumping for them while in the air and not around a center or out jumping a center. Not directly fighting on the boards. Assists never changed in ease but only based on team play style and the bucks at the time depended on assist from the guards.

It is harder to average a triple dub today but not because of some talent parity but because of the difference in the game with zone defense, taking time to set complex plays to create openings instead of constant fastbreaks, and now it's all about effecient shooting, lowering the need for rebounding if the opponent is hitting their shots constantly and not missing them, at least against GS.

He went to Miami, and that's his choice. He wanted a good team but the cavs were in such a shit place where FAs didn't want to go and they had no assets to trade. Still has a fair few dickriders tho.

I'm a little pissed off that people are going "muh efficiency" and don't get that Kobe was deliberately going for 50 FGAs for the record. The points total, honestly, is secondary, especially since the refs were ignoring all fouls making it a bit of a joke. Credit for Kobe for actually keeping up the scoring when he was so tired tho.

Ehh, I don't think the NBA would go that far to rig shit. The NBA can make money no matter who is good, as proven by the fucking Cavs and GSW destroying the two conferences, the Spurs long-term dominance, and the Knicks continued comedic awfulness.

Besides, doesn't the NBA get the same amount of money regardless of ratings? It's the networks that take on that risk.

I doubt ticket sales are good in Utah.

Also, ratings affect future deals. These playoffs need to be record-setting
>>
>>66814891
Aren't ticket sales kept by the local team? The next TV deal has already been signed for record amounts of money.
>>
>>66814902
I'm not sure, but I know they have to share a lot of the revenue in order to keep certain teams afloat

Right, and if ratings don't keep up, next deal won't be so high

I wanted to buy a league pass only for playoffs, but I understand that they dont have it for playoffs, because it is on tv only ?

Do you approve that NBA will allow ads on jerseys ?

Apparently not. Weird, surely that disincentivises teams from getting big new stadiums?

>>66814881
Rapors don't have a chance against Cleveland. Even if they beat them they will be raped against GSW/Spurs
>>
>>66814964
Which they get when the league makes more money, as players get a % of overall revenue through the salary cap

Nice preidixxxiuns Kosta.
IMO Rockets will not be swept.
Grizzlies on the other hand are such a mess they might as well lose 4-0.
In the East series will be tighter as you suggest, the gap between top and bottom is thinner.

>Assists never changed in ease but only based on team play style and the bucks at the time depended on assist from the guards.
Assists were called much more strictly during the Big O's era. In most cases, you couldn't make a basketball move or hesitate more than about a second after receiving the ball if you wanted an assist to be recorded.

welp, we can spot the people that don't watch basketball.
how the fuck is lebron a better scorer than kobe god damn bryant? just because lebrons FG% is better because he drives to the hoop on every possession, doesn't make him a better scorer. let's not forget he's in the BOTTOM 5 of shooting percentage away from the basket this year.
lebron might be a "better" rebounder, but not really. he only averages 2 more per game, despite being a forward and kobe being a guard. not a huge differential there.
kobe was first all-team defense for 9 years, and 2nd team for 3 years. no question he's the better defender
lebron might put up MORE assists, but that does not make them BETTER. the greats knew when it was time to stop passing and take the game over. that's the difference between 5/6 championships and being 2-4. lebron passes TOO much. with that being said, kobe still averaged 5 assists a game.
let's not even mention that kobe had the much stiffer competition en-route to his 5 rings. lebron's prime was while the east was the worst it's been since 1960. that's before the fucking merger.
having a 25/5/5 career with 5 rings and being a better defender > 27/7/7 with a .333 winning percentage in the finals, and being the poster-boy for choking.
