There is a not-so-small chance that people will be talking about "trading Otto Porter's shit contract" in a few seasons. $104 million for 4? For Otto Porter? Damn. In 3 years, Nets will either have: 1- D'Angelo Russell's shit contract 2- Timofey Mozgov's shit contract 3- Otto Porter's shit contract Or: 1- D'Angelo Russell becomes an All-Star. 2- Otto Porter becomes an All-Star. 3- Timofey Mozgov's contract ends and they snatch a big name free agent, like Karl Anthony Towns, and Nets become a fucking super team. | ||

Anyway, here's a more relevant and meaningful post. I saw it on reddit and conducted an investigation myself, the results are eyeopening and completely shocking. Comparison of kobe and lebron in clutch situations. clutch here is defined as 2 minutes with at most 3 points. Op limited it to playoffs and finals, Playoffs: Kobe - 40/96 in clutch situations. - FT 67/79 - TS 58 % - Assists per 36: 4.3 assists - TO per 36: 1.7 turnovers Lebron - 40/106 in clutch situation - FT 49/67 - TS 49.8% - Assist per 36: 4.2 assists - TO per 36: 4.2 turnovers Finals: Kobe - 10/20 in clutch situations - FT 4/5 - TS 56.4% - Assists per 36: 7.5 assists - TO per 36: 1.5TO Lebron - 4/23 in clutch situations - TS 10/14 - TS 31% - Assists per 36: 3.7 assists - TO per 36: 3.7 assists In addition, i found out the following valuable "clutch" statistics as well Kobe USG% regular season: 31.4% Kobe USG% postseason: 39.8% lebron USG% regular season: 32.1% lebron USG% postseason: 26.3% Number of game winners/equalizers taken in clutch situations: Kobe: 18/24 lebron: 4/15 tldr: 1. Kobe is more clutch than lebron in clutch situations 2. Kobe is a BETTER PLAYMAKER than lebron in clucth situations 3. Kobe becomes more aggressive in clutch situations in the postseason compared to the regular season 4. lebron wilts in clutch situations in the postseason compared to the regular season 5. Kobe rises to the challenge to take the last shot in clutch situations: 75% 6. lebron is cowardly and hides from the challenge of taking the last shot in clutch situations: 27% stlsdr Kobe is clutch, lelbron is not. Kobe >>> lebron TAKE THAT FOR DATA! | ||

LBJ's landing mechanics are far better making him more durable and less injury prone. | ||

http://heatzone.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2017/07/05/dion-waiters-set-to-return-to-miami-finalizing-deal-with-heat/ Miami still has 19 million in cap space and $14 million in cap holds so they should be able to retain their players. Miami still has plenty of cap space. On July 06 2017 23:52 Keyboard Warrior wrote: I too saw that in a youtube video. Lemme find it.

I guess based on this we can expect Lebron to played 40 years? after age 34 bryant was a shadow of his former self due to knee and achilles injuries caused by bad landing mechanics. so yep injuries shortened his career. | ||

As a Lebron fan, I admit his greatness lies elsewhere. I realized something while I was watching the finals with friends. In sure-to-win games, or in the first three quarters, Lebron will produce monster numbers. But when the game is on the line, Lebron is not deadly at all. He is a great player, but he does not command the same fear and respect other killers do, like MJ, Kobe, and Durant. Coaches and players have long known Kobe as a deadly clutch player, hence the automatic double and triple teams. We are lucky that Kobe has the ego to shoot and make difficult shots over double and triple teams, the classic Kobe shot. It's good for "spectatorship". The great JVG said it best, "The GOAT argument is controversial, the most skillful player argument is debatable, but there is no doubt that Kobe is the greatest difficult shotmaker of all time." Mike Breen and Mark J could barely contain their awe and laughter after hearing that. Although the thing that surprises me from your post is the assist-to ratio. I think this has to do with Kobe being wiser and having better handles. Lebron's playmaking is different from traditional playmaking of say Stockton and CP3 in the sense that they manipulate, bend, and unravel the defense on the dribble while actively forcing and allowing the play to develop and make the best pass. In Lebron's case, no one is threatened of being crossed or shimmied by him so most perimeter coverage is single. Lebron makes his plays by pounding hard into the paint and attracting the double and from there, it is simply a matter of finding the open man. | ||

Bryant had right knee surgeries in 2003, 2006 and 2010. He started landing more and more on his left leg only as the right knee surgeries piled up. He has a lot of work done on that knee in general.. long before age 35. http://www.espn.com/los-angeles/nba/news/story?id=5405418 To conclude: LBJ has excellent landing mechanics. As he enters his mid 30s it'll be interesting to see how long he goes before his body breaks down. | ||

Kobe was awesome and always put on a great show when he came 1 time per year to Toronto. In today's NBA he'd probably be encouraged to take a "rest day". | ||

After watching that, I became more conscious in watching landing mechanics of players after layups and dunks. From my non-comprehensive observation, none consistently have what that video would call a good landing mechanics of landing with the ball first. Carter, Jordan, Barkley, Duncan, Shaq, Sonics Ray Allen, Iverson, and a few others have bad landing mechanics, but it really didn't cause significant injuries similar to Kobe's. Maybe it's a factor (I doubt the creator of the video is a physiotherapist or whatever medical professional is knowledgeable in landing mechanics), but it is not THE factor. | ||
