Shaq > Kobe and the Kees can suck it

Only when vilifying him?

From: WalrusJump | #028
I generally try to be open-minded with people and their opinions but it's stunning to me how you seem to want to actively disagree with every decent opinion out there.

I love how you're not saying anything about the refs for this game.

I am really struggling trying to figure out this obscenity.

Except he doesn't get that WHEN IT MATTERS.

Except he does. 36% of the time, too. You can't argue against this, it's literal fact.

You may as well be arguing the world is flat.

You really don't understand basketball, do you? LeBrick's Midrange numbers are about the same as Durrant and Kobe because of the way they are guarded. Thanks to no handchecking allowed anymore, as well as not being able to have Center's lie in wait to toss his ***, LePassive is guarded soft, to do everything they can to KEEP HIM OUT OF THE LANE. No one is scared of his mid range game (and why would they be, 40% with wide open looks). Now watch how Kobe and Durant are guarded. They are not even given one inch by the opposing player, because god in heaven if they get an open look from 15 to 18 feet consistently, they are dropping 40 on you that night.

This is what's so hilarious:

Who gives a rat's ass how they guard LeBron when comparing him to Kobe? It's about production. If Kobe is getting guarded tight and forced into tougher shots, that's because he's a less effective player at getting to the rack and getting to the line. 95% of his clutch shots came from the jumper. If you don't fear his drive, why WOULDN'T you play up on him? On the flip side, 64% of LeBron's shots came from the jumper, but 36% of them came from the inside. Where he has an eFG% of .609. Of course you're going to sag off him.

So, you'd rather take the guy who hits 39% of his shots nearly all of the time, or the guy who hits 43% of his shots two-thirds of the time, and 61% of his shots one-third of the time because, here's the kicker, the first guy gets guarded tougher. You want the tougher, less efficient shot because you hate LeBron that much.

You have absolutely no idea how stupid you sound, and it's either hilarious or sad. I don't know yet.

Considering the fact that both Kobe and LeBron shot 41% from 10-23 feet this year, I'll take the guy who can also get to the rack and draw the foul (and also finishes at a better rate). Having more options > having one option, as shown by Kobe's sub-par clutch statistics.

So let's see: Kobe is shown to be less clutch in last second shots, Kobe is shown to be less clutch in clutch situations, and Kobe is no better at 10-23 foot shots than LeBron. I'll take LeBron every f***ing time. And Kobe should thank Gasol and Shaq for his rings.

From: TheRock1525 | #028
By the way, Kobe's clutch statistics ((4th quarter or overtime, less than 5 minutes left, neither team ahead by more than 5 points):

.361 FG%, .402 eFG% on 33.4 FGA per 48 minutes

LeBron James Clutch statistics:

.453 FG%, .492% eFG% on 28.7 FGA per 48 minutes

Kobe is definitely less clutch than LeBron.

You don't have to be clutch. Just not be the very opposite of clutch. Don't shy away in the biggest moment.

Don't know if you caught it, but before the game tonight on ESPN, they had posted the career postseason stats of MJ, LeBron and Kobe "on game-tying or go-ahead shots in the final 24 seconds of the fourth quarter and overtime."

"In his playoff career, the Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant is 7-for-27 on game-tying or go-ahead shots in the final 24 seconds of the fourth quarter and overtime. That’s a field goal percentage of 25.9, which is below the league average of 27.2 percent, and pales in comparison to his teammates over that span." - ESPN.com

and in that segment on air tonight, they had shown that LeBron is roughly 33% and MJ was 41% in such situations. So, Kobe doesn't get any flak for being less clutch than LeBron, but having a few championships with his team mates makes him a better player?

Why are you using numbers and logic to argue with this clown? We all know you're right.

Derek Fisher GOAT

This was my very first thought when trying to imagine an NBA akin to this "have-to-be-clutch-to-be-MVP" world that seems to have been established by MWC.

From: TheRock1525 | #014
LeBron James produces more wins than anyone in the league.

You're an idiot if you think anyone is better than him. "Oh no, he doesn't win in big moments" is the dumbest argument I've ever heard. I suppose we should all praise Big Shot Bob as the greatest player of all time because he hit some key shots over the course of his career.

What does this have to do with Wade?

The fact that had Wade shown up with HALF of what he averages, the Heat likely would have won, or at least not lost by 20. You can't put every loss on LeBron when most of them CLEARLY aren't his fault. He didn't have a 'perfect' game, but who ever has, save for Chamberlain's 100 point fest? Hate the guy all you want, but at the end of the day he's better than any other current player in the league, and the MVP award solidifies and embodies that.

From: StealThisSheen | #008
As opposed to Wade not showing up at all?

Definitely LeBron's fault, now. Thanks for clearing that up!

Replying to you is fun.

I hate Tifa because she used retard as an insult.

Here's the line, more or less: "Will you stop acting like a ****** and climb?"

Tifa is the devil! >:(

From: LeonhartFour | #064
I really don't think Tifa didn't say anything out of compassion or concern for Cloud, but rather because she was every bit as confused as he was. I'm not trying to justify the action, but rather that I understand why she never said anything. How do you even begin to bring that up? And I don't want to hear "if you're a decent human being you'd say something" or any crap like that. The fact that she didn't know how to say it or tell him makes her more relatable and understandable as a character, not less. You can hate her for it all you want, have at it, but I do understand it.

(Also Tifa trying to tell Cloud the truth wouldn't have really solved anything because her version of events was wrong, too)

Now it's time to bail on this topic

Oh yeah forgot about Red.

Poor Red <_<

Cloud > Yuffie > Red XIII = Vincent > Cait Sith > Barret > Aeris > Cid > Tifa

The problem with Great Gospel is that it's such a pain to get. I got it once to what it looked like but I wouldn't ever bother with it again.

From: Shoenin_Kakashi | #039
Barret is the only honest to god noble one in the whole group.

Cait Sith doesnt count.

I consider "best attack" as the one that gives you the best chance to win...

It's a boring attack though. It's pretty much something you'd get using a GameShark or other cheating device. It takes all the fun and challenge out of it not that FF is even a difficult RPG series to begin with.

From: NioraptH | #030
Yuffie the best.... simply because she's a ranged character.... Plus her level 3 limit is so gooooood..... the uh.. slashy slashy one....

(before anyone says "he has a ring", dwayne wade will eventually drag lebron to a championship, just like bob sanders dragged peyton manning to one)

From: Liquid Wind | #010
I like how half of lebron's most ardent haters turn a blind eye to the same character flaws and are huge peyton manning fans

Lebron's career as a serious NBA player came to an end last night

From: Westbrick | #003
I think what he meant was "My supporting cast was 1/12 from three-point range, have all had career-lows in shooting percentage this season, and me and my buddy Wade missing three of four FTs down the stretch means nothing compared to an inept bench capped off by truly incompetent coaching."

But maybe I'm just reading him weird, idk
