In this one instance, those 2 pts don't matter. Bron hit a 3 pt buzzer beater that would've won the game for Cavs anyway.
Nah,,can’t look at it like that KS.. there’s a lot more pressure to hit a 3 pointer when you down 2 points with less than 4 seconds to play than having the luxury of having the given tied score as was evident on Wednesday evening.. Indy was robbed no doubt about it.

While I totally agree LeBron is on another level there really are a bunch of knowledgeable folks that still argue for Kobe based on rings and "killer mentality". But I'd say you are usually talking to biased Laker fans. Maybe @the AntiPusher still likes Kobe in this debate?

I remember arguing with my brother and cousin back in 2011 before he LeBron won a ring that he was clearly better than Kobe ever was and would have the greater career regardless of ring total. They practically laughed me out of the room...but some things are just obvious. By LeBron's 2nd year it was clear barring injury he'd be one of the best to ever lace them up. I get the same feeling with Ben Simmons. Have you had a chance to watch your fellow Aussie @britbox ? I'm not saying Simmons will be as good but he will be up there if he stays healthy.
Kobe was more clutch than Lebron, but the better overall talent is Lebron because of his height and physically.

Nah, he wasn't more clutch, you should check out the stats I posted in the other thread. Truly the only thing Kobe had on Bron was outside shooting.

And I'm sure free throw %. Bron doesn't hit every FT. Kobe was $$ from the stripe. Purposely made contact (like Harden and 1/2 of the NBA does) just to get to the line.

Yeah that too, LeBron shoots free throws worse than high school girls.

Raps closing it out on the road like adults. Second unit did the job.
I feel like this coming round for the Raps is more difficult than the conference finals would be. We;ll see.

Somebody made that tank bleed in the 1st half. I thought Bron was a machine incapable of bleeding...

No..I have seen Kobe since he was a teenager..Stats isn’t always an actual reflection of results.,Kobe was an assaisn in the mode of Jordan than Lebron. Clutch is Jordan, Bird, Reggie MILLER, Ray Allen aka Jesus Shuttersworth , or Dwade..not Lebron..

LeBron has made more buzzer beaters in the playoffs than all of them now and shoots a high % in crunch time and is of course one of the best passers in history. And it's that fact that gives him a bad rep, he will pass to the open guy in crunch time. With Kobe there is no comparison really.

This is as bad as your bias against Rafa, no way Lebron is a better option at crunch time over Kobe

Darth, what happening with your Bucks tonight? Do they have it in them?

Prunty put in the worst defensive lineup imaginable the last 5 minutes of the first quarter and Boston went on a 20-2 run. Giannis playing like total ass again but Brown is hurt pretty bad. Bucks will find a way to lose, they always do.
