LeBron James was asked if he's buying it that Kobe Bryant has become a distributor. He said "no'' and added more.

“Do I buy that?" James said. "No. He told you all before, he’s a scorer. He said it every day, ‘I’m a scorer and this is what I do.’ So I don’t buy it. No. You guys buy it, though. I see how you all go, ’49 assists in four games,' whatever. You guys are going crazy about that. I don’t buy that. He’s a scorer.’’

-Man, this guy couldn't stop acting like a prick if his life depended on it. Don't care if we lose, I'd be thrilled out of my mind if Sacre goon'd his ass.

lol i actually feel the exact same way as he does. all of this sports hyperbole coming out of the kobe passing, at the end of the day kobe is kobe and will always be, well kobe

He's the defending champion and best player in the game, he can say whatever he wants.

I hope he comes to the Lakers.

lebron is a douche.

I never knew Kobe was a scorer, thanks for clearing that up Lebron lol. Of course he's a scorer and been a scorer all his career. But as Lebron should know you may have to make sacrifices and play differently in a super team to benefit the team though it may not play to your individual strengths. Lebrons just pissed that Kobes showing everyone he can play the facilitator role like he can even though most of us already know Kobe can do this.

if kobe said something similar a thread would have been made saying what a competitor he is and how he is so focused.

[Chad]

Tweet this to the Mamba!

[djcovi]

Bfd, doesn't mean anything. Nobody ever said Kobe is the new Stockton, he just started moving the ball from the post to set up teammates.

[True Lakers Fan]

Typical Laker Fans puffing their chests out and getting mad, because on what LeBron said


I agree with him, BUT Kobe needs to be in this role for this team to be successful plain and simple

[RobBlake]

i dont see him dissing kobe at all... im a kobe homer but you guys are overracting lol

[Drazard]

LMAO, I'm a one of Lebrick Shame Hater but I respect his perception, no more god damn highlights of kobe because of that assist.

[-Wade-]

I don't think anyone is trying to crown Kobe as the king distributor. Kobe has been facillitating well as of late, and it has helped.
LeBron is right too, Kobe is a scorer.

[Jazzygirl205]

Defending LeBron is not a telepathic way to make him come to the Lakers any faster. Anywho no one has to buy Kobe having assists like he's doing. Kobes been assisting games since he entered the NBA, he has 5 rings I'll take his approach over someone else's biased opinion. Kobe already said he doesn't play to please people, I wouldn't either if people already had it in their mind to hate me before I even touched a freaking NBA basketball. We're WINNING games THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS. Not some popular opinion from some other NBA player, coach or analyst.

LeBron should do what Kobe does when reporters ask Kobe about him, say "I don't give a eff".

[hotpocket]

I agree with him, but I would love for Kobe to prove him wrong.

Kobe is good enough that he can do almost anything he sets his mind to. If he WANTS to distribute, he will do it, and do it well. But at heart, he is a scorer.

[Majesty]

Kobe said LeBron was "a pick-and-roll player, primarily" before recently developing "a low-post game ...

an elbow game, more confidence in his jumper. So he's continuing to evolve as a player."

Dwight questioned whether LeBron's post game was truly underdeveloped in the past or whether it was only media members analyzing it as such. Dwight also noted more broadly when it comes to LeBron that people forget a lot of the negative stuff "when you win."

The Lakers will have a very short practice Saturday in Miami before they face LeBron and the defending champion Heat on Sunday afternoon.
