Re: LeBron trying to top Kobe in NYC. Maybe he will break Wilt the Stilts record......and I am not referring to number of women he had sex with.
It's not on national TV. He just missed two FTs. Kobe had 18 in the first quarter of his game in NYC so LeBron is even with him so far.
Kobe does not have the time to be upset now - since Lord Bargnani is currently whipping his Lakers in Toronto...
42, 10, & 8 That's more impressive than 61 to me. 40 points and you still get 10 assists with lots of time to play? Amazing.
Totally agree, and that is why LeBron is the best right now, and will be considered one of the best ever when he's done. And *blasphemy* could be the best ever when it's all said and done. But I won't jump there quite yet. Kobe didn't pull down one rebound the night he scored 61, and I *think* he had 2 assists? I may not have even seen that stat. But I do know he pulled down 0 boards.
3 assists, and Kobe shot better and in less time. I don't think LeBron can touch Jordan yet, I wouldn't even consider it; he's got nothing over him empirically or in other fashions. I do think he's already a HOFer though.
Statistically, he's matching Jordan pretty well, actually. Looking at their PERs at the same age: Jordan at 21: 25.8 Jordan at 22: 27.5 Jordan at 23: 29.8 Jordan at 24: 31.7 James at 21: 28.1 James at 22: 24.5 James at 23: 29.5 James at 24: 31.5 James was better at 21 and worse at 22, but outside of that, they both basically on the same expressway. I'd say that, so far, they're at least comparably great and the best two players of the last three decades or so.
Yes very nice, but LeBron was at 33 PER just a month ago. Who knows where he ends up? Jordan didn't play with as many touch free throws either, I'd always give him the edge. Minstrel, Per is a nice Barometer but not the end-all. I think you cite it too much personally.
