Wade won the scoring title but his overall stats were almost identical to Lebron's. If Kobe's stats were as close to James' stats as Wades were last season, then you would have a leg to stand on.

Also, you keep saying that if he wanted to, Kobe could match Lebron's stats. That makes no sense. Generally, as a player forces more shots, his shooting percentages drop and his defense suffers.

Lebron already has a much better shooting percentage than Kobe and I would agree that Kobe could win the scoring title if he wanted to win it, his shooting accuracy would drop. James also averages more assists than Kobe does. If Kobe shot more, then James' lead in that department would increase as well.

Kobe is certainly capable of getting hot and dominating a playoff series but Lebron has easily been the better player to this point in this season.

Ok im guessing that the rest of your post was for K Mac. I wasnt referring to wade winning the scoring title. He averaged more assist, steals, blocks if im not mistaken.

Lebron james is the most dominate player in the league today. He is the complete package. But come playoff time im taking kobe bryant over any player in the league.

II think that I have it figured out too. The debate has shifted from who has been the best player this season, which clearly has been Lebron, to which player was better last season and the season before. It sounds like a couple of posters have suddenly realized that the stats do not support their case in the here and now. Nice fallback position - Kobe used to be a better player than Lebron. :biggrin:

I will agree with you on that point.

Now we posters are still upset that the better player (Wade) with better stats was denied MVP, and now that lebron has better stats his fans are saying thats why he won MVP. When clearly its a Popularity contest.
