I know this question has been discussed over and over and over again but I wanted to know what some of you guys think.
Whose performance was more impressive at Madison Square Garden?
Kobe's 61 points or Lebrons 52 points and near triple double? And why?
I'd say it is Kobe for a few reasons. First off, his shooting percentage was much more impressive, along with his defense. Kobe guarded Winston Chandler and Quentin Richardson who combined to score 22 points while LBJ guarded David Lee and Al Harrington who combined to score 51 points. Also, Kobe broke MSG's scoring record which imo is more memorable and impressive. Finally, they game just seemed to flow for Kobe, while with Lebron, it seemed like he was forcing a lot of shots and forcing the game itself. I am a man who values shooting percentage and defense very much so me thinking Kobe's game was more impressive makes sense to me.
Thoughts?
