<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Nitro1118 @ May 6 2006, 09:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>No, they are not close. Bron ahs teammates to pass to in clutch. Damon Jones hit that shot last night, Flip Murray had at least 3 GW's since being traded to the Cavs, and Marshell has hit clutch shots. That forces Kobe to shoot some very tough shots in crowds and double teams. Bron always get single teamed at end of games, and when he gets doubled, he passes it to a role player capable of hitting GW. And once again, Kobe throughout his career has proven he is more clutch.As for playoffs, did you see how many ridiculously hard shots Kobe hit in Game 6? I thoguht he was more clutch in that game than in Game 4.</div>How would we know what Kobe's teammates do in the clutch? He never even tries to pass. Earlier in the year I believe he passed to Lamar Odom for the gamewinner, and he missed. From there, I don't think he ever passed to him again. I'd love to see Kobe's clutch shooting percentage from this year alone, because it's probably worse than LeBron's. LeBron on the other hand, had that stretch early on when all he did was pass to teammates late in games, and they kept missing. However, he stuck with it, and can now do whatever is neededNot only is scoring int he clutch significant, but so is your decision making. This year alone Kobe shot over endless double teams, three pointers int he corners, not going to the rim, when he could have gave the ball to a wide open teammate. LeBron on the other hand, made great decisions, hitting open teammates when he could, and shooting when he had the chance. So as they stand now: LeBron is a better decision maker in the clutch, LeBron shoots an almost equal percentage int he clutch, Kobe averages 1.5 Points more in the clutch. Both players come up big in the playoffs. As the stand now, it is close
Yao Ming is an interesting player. He showed a lot of promise in the second half of this season. Lets see what he can do over the course of a full season.
Im sure of it. McGrady will learn from his mistakes. Hes going to be healthy again if he goes in the weight room, stretches and try to look for some treatment.1. Kobe Bryant(This guy will be *in Chucks Swirsky's voice* "SICK WICKED AND NASTY!)2. LeBron(He's also going to be sick)3. Dwyane Wade(Very explosive!)4. Tracy McGrady(If hes healthy)5. Dirk Nowitzki(Great shooter and is getting better and better every season...Im excited)
^Obvious Rockets bias.I mean seriously, if Yao was that good, they wouldn't have been a garbage team without Tmac. Yes I know his averages, and those 30 point games he put up.But Dirk is a better player, and so is KG...both should be on that list above Yao. Oh yeah, so does Steve Nash.

I do alot of that and it creates debates which lead to more posts. I can also create great topics like this one.Edit: also more activity, which is why i was one the most important posters in any of the foums i was in.

Carmelo Anthony :nasty:</div>i would love to see that list. i want to see dwight put up like 19 and 14 next year. 14 is alot of boards but i think that he will easily surpass that in his prime. i still see kobe being above lebron next year though. to me there is a big difference whos better when i watch both play. i dont know why but kobe just looks more impressive to me.
