Video: LeBron’s MSG Response

by Marcel Mutoni

The question on most people’s minds last night was, How would LeBron James perform at the Garden two nights after Kobe came through and wrecked shop? When asked, Bryant guessed that James would put up a quadruple double.

Not quite, but this ain’t nothing to sneeze at either. Do enjoy:

    Kobe is not that great of a passer if you want to be picky. He dumps it to bigs at the rim when he’s on the move but he rarely creates open j’s for his teammates like Wade and Bron do.
    His rebounding is just average for a wing.
    His D is somewhat overrated. He thinks he can cover little dudes on the perimeter. I mean, people do get by Kob. Even in the Olympics, he was applauded for covering guys from the half court line but dudes were still getting past him.
    He’s not much of a shot blocker. Even by wing standards.
    His post up game is average at best.
    I mean, there are holes in his GAME. But if you are talking about his BALL SKILLS, then yeah he’s second to none.

    You know what, I take back my comments about Jordan and threes. True, he never shot a whole bunch in a given year, but his BEST percentages game in years where he shot more, and his best percentages are far better than Kobe’s.
    That is really interesting. I didn’t realize that. Maybe Mike has him beat on just the skills thing as well. Hmmm…

    Didn’t Jordan average 50% from the three one year, or something close to that?
    Also, co-sign every single thing Z just said. Kobe’s passing is simply not very good.

    I remember when Kobe played the facillitator role for LA and his passing was very good.

    I think his passing game is good..his court vision in all aspects, is probably not at some other players level though

    MJ had the best post up game for a 2 guard ive ever seen which Kobe is just average at and Mj shot a higher percentage pretty much every year then Kobe excluding 3 point% in a league where handchecking was legal

    whoa fellas, Kobe has THE BEST post up game of ANY Wing in the game. Have you seen this man’s footwork? It’s ok to shut up when you don’t know what you’re talking about.

    Who said he wasn’t the best post up wing player?
