LeBron James understands what it means to be a team player. For example his style of play and winning success is to involve his teammates and Kobe relies on his individual performance to pull his team to victory. The difference is noted and evident with their assist and field goals attempted statistics. Throughout LeBron’s career (10 years) he has accumulated a total of 5,302 assist which is roughly 6.9 assist per contest. Kobe is not known as the pass first player.
Chris Paul There are few players in the sport of basketball that have the ability to dominate a game while standing no taller than 6 feet; Chris Paul is one of those players. He may also be known by his nickname, "C.P.3", an alias known universally in the basketball world. In an age where athletes are getting bigger, taller, and freakishly athletic, Chris Paul proves that the combination of smarts and the will to compete can make up for the physical deficiencies he has to overcome. Not many players possess the player/coach attribute that Chris uses to manage and control the game. But a high intellectual level was a product of his childhood and the way he was raised.
Jeremiah Moran Mr. Carr ENGL 101 16 March, 2011 Battle of the Supermen When most people hear superman they think of someone who has exceptional and almost superhuman abilities. In the NBA there are two players who have been given this title. The two players are Dwight Howard and Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq has been playing longer so he has better stats for his career, but he still can’t fly. Dwight Howard has the edge in many categories, such as athleticism.
He is considered one of the most complete players in the NBA, has been selected to every All-NBA Team since 1999, and has been featured in the last twelve NBA All-Star games. Sports writers and sports casters have frequently compared Bryant to Michael Jordan, a comparison Bryant dislikes. In 2007, an ESPN poll of sportswriters voted him as the second best shooting guard in NBA history behind Jordan. Bryant is a prolific scorer, averaging 25.3 points per game for his career, along with 5.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.5 steals as of the end of the 2009-2010 regular seasons. He is known for his ability to create shots for himself and is a standout three-point shooter, sharing the single-game NBA record for three pointers made with twelve.
Some similarities are they both play professional basketball, both drafted out of high school into the NBA, and both have won Olympic gold medals in 2008. The differences are Kobe has been in the league for 15 years and LeBron for 9 years. Since in the NBA, LeBron has played for two teams and Kobe only one. Nevertheless if these two great athletes played a game against each other, the stats at the end of the game would determine who might be the better player for just that game. People may say LeBron was better because he has more power, better vision, bigger, faster, stronger, and he over powers people.
I just can not get enough! Unfortunately, one is now retired and the other is towards the end of his career. So now would be the perfect time to compare the two players, who are so similar on the court, yet exact opposites off it. First, let me start off by telling you the road both players took to become the great players they are. Michael Jordan started off with more of a humble beginning than Kobe did.
One of the hottest debates with these two men is the amount of championship rings they have. Kobe Bryant has appeared in seven NBA Finals and has won five championships. LeBron James on the other hand has appeared in two NBA Finals and has won one championship. This is one of the major debates between both players on comparing who is better. With LeBron James being [Doctoral rule (but good advice for any academic writer)--If not a noun (as in "human being"), the word "Being" is hard to imagine; it means "existing."
Mark and Mike were older than me and that meant they were bigger, stronger, and better—in basketball, baseball, everything. They pushed me. They drove me. I wanted to beat them more than anything, more than anyone. But I hadn’t met Magic yet.
Theirs a major difference between the rushing attacks on the two teams and a team with a better rushing game usually can have better opportunities in the passing game. And last but definitely not least between the two teams is their quarter backs. Matt Schaub for the Houston Texans is more of a slow tempo and calm under presser kind of quarter back who rarely commits turnovers. He knows when to force balls and when to throw them away which give his team a better chance in winning games as to Tony Romo of the Dallas Cowboys who has a good game every other game he completely stinks in. He seems to not know when to force balls in and when to just give up on a play and try again another down.
Even though he was coming back from injury, and I think Mitch Richmond scored more than he that game, he still was “better” than the rest & scored a “measley” 19 points. But the Bulls won & that man made a lasting impression on me. DRose needs to chill out a little and play—controlling his emotions at times, expressing them at other times—but we can do without the braggadoccio (I think that is how you spell it). That is the only way the Bulls of this era will take it to the next level. I say this with love & respect.
