Who had the better game at Madison Square Garden?

[RenegadeLonghorn]

Lebron. Triple double speaks for itself. He wasn't as efficient shooting wise but he got his teammates involved (assists).

LeBron, hands down. He accounted for more total team points with the assists, and he had 10 more rebounds.

Hey Ash, you forgot the minutes played

I think it was

Kobe 37 minutes
LeBron 44 minutes

So I would say Kobe, I mean he dropped 61 in basically 3 quarters.

LeBron, No Question.. Triple Double..With That Many Points WOW.

1000% lebron, he shares the ball, he creates plays and he rebounds and blocks and ......

[nadeau01_johnson48]

It's pretty obvious how this will turn out....

The Kobe/Lakers fans will pick Kobe. The LeBron/Cavs fans will pick LeBron.

And everyone else who doesn't show any allegiance to either team will pick LeBron. I think that pretty much answers the question. ;)

Kobe had an 8 year headstart :-)

Well, you can't take anything away from either performace, both are equally great in my opinion. But if you were to ask me who had the more meaningful game, i would have to say Kobe.

It's clear that Lebron only did this to try and outshine Kobe, which doesn't really surprise me since he's been trying to chase Kobe his entire career. Kobe's performance on the other hand was more of a reassurance to us Laker fans and to his teammates. In what was supposed to be the most depressing day of the season for us Laker fans, Kobe found a way to lift our spirits and reminded us that regardless of how tough the rest of the season may be, he still has our back.

You put that in good words! I agree completely with what you said.
