In the playoffs he doesn't have the best single-game. Well unfortunately for Bryant, he hasn't been able to recreate that against the best defenses. http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/game_score_game_p.html
He's the closest player to MJ ever (talking about Kobe here), so tell me where you rank MJ? Or go ahead and tell me which other player(s) you think are that damn close to being MJ type of player?
Mj didn't shoot that many three pointers or jumpshots... He got into the paint. LeBron gets to the paint even more than MJ, he just doesn't have his jumper yet. Although he has a better three point jumper and better vision. At 18-25 years old LeBron has the best career, MJ has the longest sustained greatness since his career is already over.
^ lol, do you consider MJ as best player of all time? And if so who in your mind comes closest to him? (or has come closest)
I guarantee the Celtics would not sweep the Heat healthy. But if they are, who knows. I really hope they meet in the playoffs and show the Heat would win in 6.
Leave him CK, he's obssesed with Lehype or poor man's scottie pippen now. To him MVP trophys are better than Championships, which pretty much tells you the level of inteligence he has.
Why are you in a Heat forum trying to prove how great Kobe is, if I'm the one so obsessed? Kobe is a choker, who fed off Shaq's 36 PPG/14RPG/58 TS% when he was gagging in the first three-peat. He shot terribly in those Finals. Then he beat the Celtics in a choke job 6-24 night, and shot 40% for the series. Your excuses don't make any sense.
Your arguments: 1. His awards say he's the next MJ. Actually they don't he has 2 Finals MVPs and he choked against Boston. Shaq has 3, and played much much better. Shaq has more accolades than Kobe. Tim Duncan has more accolades than Kobe so suck it. http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/duncati01.html Love it. Kobe gets Zero credit for not even playing well in two of Shaq's 3 titles. 2. "He's a closer." Actually he's not, he shot 29% in the fourth quarters of the Finals. He was garbage against good defenses last season. 3." He's the closest player to MJ." He tried to copy MJ but more than 3/4 of his shots are jumpshots. He has MJ's build and some post moves, but he takes way too many jumpshots and he has small hands. He's a jump shooter, who over the course of his career has never been the scorer or passer LeBron James is. He's shooting 43% this season and the Lakers are still winning, you're a joke Gunner and you always will be.
You must have not been around the MJ era, anyone who had could clearly see that Kobe's and MJ's game was most similar, exept that Mj was more a drive to the paint player but still relied alot on his jumpshots. There has never been a better game closer also, sorry kobe is just clutch there, no even debatable, won't bother posting videos since there's many, and finally Lebron will never be considered on the same bracket as Kobe or MJ, he chose to take his sidekick talents to south beach, if he's lucky he might be considered along with Scottie pippen and John Stockton.

Haha are you serious? Your argument is MJ also takes jump shots? Gee let me think about why Kobe is a sub 40 percent shooter for his career, while MJ can shoot over 50% in a season like LeBron. You're dense. So how did he win against Boston? He choked in that series, from quarters 1-4. I exposed you, you have nothing to add and you can cry about it in your house or something. Lol videos.... How immature of you to even think that settles anything. Oh please, shut up. "James: 23.5/8.6/5.1 56 TS% Wade: 22/3.7/5.8 55 TS% Get it into your brain, Wade is at 20 PER, below All-star level and he choked against Boston. He's going to get injured again and LeBron will lead this team to Finals MVPs."
Lebron ain't leading anything, he's not a leader thats why he joined another team, get that into your head, he's a follower. Without wade performing, they simply lose.
