LeBron James Isn’t Sold on Kobe Bryant The Distributor


by Ryne Nelson / @slaman10

Before Thursday night’s disaster in Boston, Kobe was averaging 7.8 assists over his previous 10 games. Not bad for a guy who shoots more than anyone in the League.

But LeBron James doesn’t buy the new Magic Bean Bryant persona. James recently discussed his team’s upcoming match-up with L.A. and the new pass-happy Bryant.

From Fox Sports Florida:

LeBron James was asked if he’s buying it that Kobe Bryant has become a distributor. He said “no” and added more.

“Do I buy that?” James said. “No. He told you all before, he’s a scorer. He said it every day, ‘I’m a scorer and this is what I do.’ So I don’t buy it. No. You guys buy it, though. I see how you all go, ’49 assists in four games,’ whatever. You guys are going crazy about that. I don’t buy that. He’s a scorer.’’

It will be interesting to see what role Kobe plays when the Lakers face the Heat tomorrow on national television. He may just drop another double-double—we all know Kobe loves a challenge.

    Yeah. Wade is so much done that he just put 30 on your boy on 12-18 shooting. Keep dreaming son

    im not saying KD Is the better basketball player than LBJ, just that when considering your MVP this year KD has a leg up imo. He’s got a couple things going for him, his Winning, his stats, and Lebron already receiving 3 awards tend to turn the voters in another direction.

    DWade Bosh and the rest of the Heat would adapt accordingly if KD were on the team, they are too good of players not to. On the other hand i do think if Lebron were on the Thunder they would probably be winning 65 plus games in the regular season.

    “but i know this much, if you give KD the same team Miami has their record would be just as good if not better”

    I was obviously responding to that statement and not your MVP one…

    Bron bron isn’t trying to get stats pposse while OKC needs kd’s stats.

    if bron bron wanted he could avg. 40/10/10 right now.

    He is incredible, hands down… the beast of league.

    the only part of his game that needs help is shaving his dome.

    just wait til after the all-star break the beast is going to wake up and tear his way to the finals breaking everyone’s will.
