Nope...who likes to play with ball hog? He is one of the most selfish players in the NBA complete with a bad attitude.
Are we 6? This isn't the elementary school playground. Nice copout, yeah he's a ballhog. Seriously, there is so much involved in an NBA offense that true "ballhogging" isn't something we really ever see. But yeah, go ahead and call Kobe one. His prototypical career SG numbers of 25,5,5 are soooooooooo selfish.
Thanks for posting that, but you misinterpreted the article.
The article doesn't say he drives to the left MORE often, it says his scoring percentage is higher when going left. The article never mentions the total number of times he drives left (or right for that matter) either, so the numbers although statistically correct, may not be as impressive as you think. If he drives to the left 5x per game and scores on 3 of those attempts then yes his percentage would be high - 60% in this scenario.
Either way, I don't believe there is any real way to "stop" LBJ. I was just hating on him a bit
To answer the OP's question, I'd choose Kobe. This is solely based on my own opinion that he, currently, is the most clutch player in the NBA.

Did you read my post or the article?
Quote:
James has three basic options at the start of any isolation action. He can drive left, drive right or shoot early.
He drives on 62 percent of his isolations, favoring the left over the right side. He takes an early jumper on 38 percent of his isolations.

LeBron Tendency In Isolation
Drives left: 34%
Drives right: 28%
Jumper no drive: 38%

Am I 6? Because I disagreed with you? Yeah, really mature comment dude.
Yes, Kobe is a ballhog. That is my opinion from watching him play for years - I don't like his attitude or the way he plays. It's fine if you disagree, but how about you quit resorting to accusing other people of being immature when you post something like you did above?
Duncan, 1st player in league history with 500 blocks in the playoffs, passed wilt tonight to solidify #2 all time double doubles in the playoffs. Only 13 behind magic.
Tim moved into 6th all time scoring in the playoffs, and at his average of 9 rebounds per game, he will need 8 playoff games to pass shaq for 3 rd all time playoff rebounding. He will never catch 2nd, because wilt averaged 20+ rebounds per game in the playoffs.
TD is doing great. Hopefully he and the Spurs wont get blown out by the Heat in the Finals. After the Lakers I root for conference so those [MOD-CUT] in San Antonio better not let me down!
Are you really rooting for the conference? Most, actually, ALL (100%) of Lakers fans I know hate the Heat more than anything. They can't stand the sight that LeBron will soon be deemed greater than KobeRapist, err, Kobe Bryant. =)
I am from LA now living in LAS. All my friends, family, co workers are Faker, err, Laker fans.
