Mickael Pietrus, on guarding Kobe Bryant and LeBron James

[venoth103]

I don't understand why everyone hates lebron so much. He's a nicer guy than kobe, he doesn't talk shit like kobe, and he doesn't cheat on his wife and rape teenaged girls, like kobe. Also in case anyone didn't realize, lebron filmed "the decision" on tv to raise money for the boy's and girl's club foundation...

[dwillcougar]

Lebron would be harder to guard for sure

[Carefreeblues]

He can't guard neither of them, hence the silence. Of course it's expected that this became a Kobe v Lebron battle. BTW I think Kobe would be harder, if you're athletic enough I think you can guard Lebron; He just isn't as skilled as Kobe.

[draft797]

you know kobe and lebron play on different positions people

[CaliAhjee24]

@draft797 ..just shutup..

[blove9387]

lebrons better

[dizzyy2k8]

i dont care what you will people think. michael pietrus cant even answer the means they are both hard to guard

[batmanrocks245678]

hahahahaha ''next question please'' hahahahahaha classic

[dizzyy2k8]

then try to defend him in transition.

[8MunchenBayern8]

@dizzyy2k8 teams that play transition/ny knicks basketball dont usually win playoff series against good half court teams

[Lebronkobe06280]

Lebrons better than kobe

[tylerhorn1234]

@Lebronkobe06280 HAHAHAHA kobe 5 championships soon to be 6 and lebron 0 and soon to be still 0 and kobes gonna get mvp this year as well as become the 5th all time scoring leader in nba history. lebron couldnt carry kobes jock strap

[Lebronkobe06280]

@tylerhorn1234 yea right

[ardaatalay10]

Pietrus already had said Kobe is the best.

[psychicyen]

lebron is definetely better at crab dribbles.. u cant take that away from him

[zer02oo5]

@psychicyen yea but a crappy shooter. Carmelo and kobe both burn le'bron on shooting long range and off the dribble.

[Chrisisballin]

kobe is 1000000000000000x better than lefraud. lmfao. serious good answer mickael.

[salakerz324]

he wanted to say kobe!

[Hailraiser15]

Kobe is better on tricking people lebron is better on blocking Kobe(shooting 6 for 28) is better In being selfish(lebron is not selfish he averaged about 8 assist pg and he doesnt shoot as horrible) Lebron is better on having bad sportsmanship Kobe's team makes kobe better Lebron makes his team better Kobe is better in skill Lebron is better on athleticism

[ReDs0xFaN4LiFe]

@Hailraiser15 kobe averaged about 8 assists during the finals against the magic just to tell you...but specifically it was like 7.6 or 7.8

[voulgier]

Next question

[RainingGame]

Who is harder to guard? Kobe hits shots all over your defense and LeBron just charges in.

[israpil24]

@RainingGame yeah but lebron gets more points, and with fewer attempts. Kobe got the whole package tho

[Zachrydaman]

LMFAO i think its cus he thinks one is WAYYY better than the other idk which one tho but its pretty obvious he didnt wanna hurt kobe's feelings or lebron's depending on whoever he thought was better.

[TreyCH11]

lmao peaches

[stevechen1991]

Pietrus actually played really good defense on lebron and his teamates helped out so magic pull the upset.and he played great defense on kobe as well but kobe jus has better offense and better team

[seangaine91]

losangelestimes I'm 5 8 and dunking on 11 foot rims - crazy right? How do I do it? have a look at 50 inch vertical (dot) com

[charliebauder1534]

Mickael Pietrus, on guarding Kobe Bryant and LeBron James

[lakershd]

that's why one dark mofucka

[stevechen1991]

If there was an 6th man of the Playoffs,its gotta be Pietrus,he killed the entire celtics n cavs bench jus by himself LOL

[lakershd]

Lamar Odom ?

[stevechen1991]

nahh pietrus is better lol.odom is sick too tho,but he plays like 30min cuz byum was injured/shit

[lakershd]

nah odom, is way better

[caironewyork]

agreed

[lakershd]

im black and my family none of us are even dat fucking dark

[traviscruzZ]

pietrus face was so funny! lol

[Tukann]

its coz if he says one is better than the other than he knows that when he plays them he better watch himself coz they are gonna have something to prove

[champions2009908]

no they know we know that what in the world lebron easy kobe way harder

[YouStid]

Lol did he mean that kobe is a beast by not responding or what rofl

[justasijus]

What that means?? :/

[drazard08]

its means that he can't compare lebron james to kobe bryant .

[justasijus]

But why???

[benvindo05]

cuz kobe is just way better

[pinoyblaze12]

LOL I LOVE PIETRUS.

[dooheif711]

**a lot of people cant shoot-like lebron**

[dooheif711]

to zohan-anyone 6'8" can dunk...a lot of people cant shoot like lebron..

[SHinoSHikamaru]

lol @ Zohan, Lebron can't even shoot, so what is he talking about.

[amztecson024]

yeah! lebron only has power dunks.. coz he can play power forward.. but the other perimeter shots' like the jump shot and floater.. he will never learn coz its not for his body type and height..

[SHinoSHikamaru]

I know what you mean, Lebron was just gifted with a body that has speed and power.

Well Zohan can't say anything anymore cause if Lebron wins a ring, it's cause he won it with Shaq. lol.

[amztecson024]

if lebron wasnt gifted with that.. he's nothing ..

[dinosaur4]

i dont know if the 7 assists per game have anything to do with his body

[amztecson024]

lebron can pass the ball easily with accuracy and speed because of his height and stregth, remember magic johnson?

[dinosaur4]

yea and so can andre iguodala right? u need to validate ur arguments with more then 1 example.

[TotalPackage8]

@amztecson024 Yeah LeBron is a great player. He reminds me of Magic except he can do more!

Both Kobe and LeBron are great passers but LeBron is going to average more assists simply because he has nothing but shooters around him and the Cavs love to play off his pick and rolls. Not to mention how much of a great finisher he is. He really draws in the defense as where Kobe runs the triangle which isnt so traditional

[amztecson024]

yeah thats true, lebron got spot up shooters unlike kobe who got only pau and drew.

[brownie003]

@amztecson024 lebron on lakers would be better than kobe lakers

[r0binzero]

not rly lakers run a triangle offence while in cleveland they just give lebron the ball and back the fk away

[brownie003]

nar lebron is better to play with. he'll use gasol and bynum better and also artest nd the rest. kobe has crap shooting %

[amztecson024]

@ brownie nah lebron got shooters on cavs and the only shooter on lakers roster is kobe. and cavs will be more better if kobe is on there line up. remember the the best two man combo in the history? kobe and shaq.

[SixFootEightTao]

wtf u talking about. the lakers have fisher, odom and artest which are all good shooters. The cavs only have mo, west and parker. 3 shooters each so wtf u talkin about saying the cavs have lots of shooters when they have the same amount as the lakers.

[amztecson024]

@SixFootEightTao they cant shoot with hand on there faces.. unlike mo west and parker.. they are better shooters...

[r0binzero]

kobe has a crap shooting % cuz he gets triple teamed unlike lebron if ppl went 1on1 with kobe hed go for 50 every nite besides lebron wont do much with drew and gasol cuz theyr actaully good unlike hickson and varejao so they wont be ballwatching lebron and actaully gaurd

[stevechen1991]

thats cuz u cant run triangle offence with cavs,they didnt have a versatile big like odom n gasol......and alot times lakers give the ball to Kobe n everyone get outta way lol

[kingjappyjoe]

@amztecson024 hes getting better at 3s and layups tho.

[tkballer216]

lol poor guy

hes a great player tho real underrated

[KaizerNBA]

"anyone can shoot"

kobe is 5x better shooter when lebron, uhh lebron cant? James have big Z, williams, wallace huh... kobe have Gasol and.... hmmm.... so shut up...

[champions2009908]

lecrab did that with the refs lol king of travel lecrab he couldnt do it without mo williams

god of nba kobe plus jordan crawford told lecrab tell me how my ass tatse

[inflamespinball]

Pietrus is my boy!!!

[DULLABABY798]

Kobe still has shaq. His Name is Pau Gasol!!!! Kobe also has a rebounding cheat code in Odom, An Andrew Bynum who needs no double team to guard D. Howard, just like Perkins didnt need help. Kobe legitimately has 3 All-star players in his starting 5 line-up and amazing depth and talent in the front court. Kobe would never win a ring let alone a playoff series in Cleveland with the talent LeBron has point blank, PERIOD!

[ylt34c]

rofl ur a dick licker. lebron fans are good at nothing in the world except making up excuses. and they're not even good excuses. like made up shit saying bynum is an all-star or odom when he never has been in 10 years.

kobe would get to the finals at least with the cavs 4 2 reasons. first, the east is weak as fuck every year (make sure u deflate lebron's accomplishments accordingly. they don't win 50 games in the west.) second, he's eons better than lebron. that's how i know

[azngothopz]

stfu stop making fucking excuses, give lebron james kobe's team and its gonna be an epic fail

lebron cant drive in with tat many big men in the lane clogging it up

[carlawon]

no no no.. i think the "whole point" is for orlando to win the championship.. which they didnt... so lets all move on already

[sealfet]

the whole point is that he was able to keep lebron and kobe far below 50% field goals. Since this in the end is the key. Even if kobe or lebron scores 40 points, if it took them 50 shots to do that the defender has done a good job. Since many of those shots they miss will be rebounded defensively.

[1qmk]

you know how dumb u sound lebron shot 487% from the field against the magic lebron and kobe dont even shot 500% in the regular season dumbass we all know u dont know shit about basketball

[sealfet]

His shooting percentage was higher in the regular season than it was in that series. I'll give you that he shot higher overall in the playoffs but in this specific series Lebron shot a lower percentage thatn in the regular season, which means the defender did his job. So please check your information considering that no one in the world shoots 500% from the field since that would mean they made 5 times more shots than they took. Last I checked that is impossible. Nice grammar by the way.

[1qmk]

u dumb 500 % stands for 50 look at people stats before u act like u know shit

[sealfet]

no what you're thinking about is .500%. Again try to do some research before you come running your mouth at me. Really do check. I'm anxiously awaiting a response.

[1qmk]

WOW a dot before the 500 your the man u know about basketball LMAO

[sealfet]

I never claimed to be the man. I was just pointing out that the difference between 500 and 0.5 or .500 is rather large. I believe 500=1000x.500

[carlawon]

btw.. what stats say it? they put everyone on kobe because NO one could stop him van gundy was out there trying to put a hand up... pietrus pretty much guarded lbj the entire time.. so your 'STATS' mean nothing... enjoy the parade in los angeles?

[carlawon]

sure lbj killed pietrus.. thats why lbj won the championship......ooops no.. that was kobe who was doin work.. you sound really foolish for that comment son. take a time out!

[RobCar8]

haha nice man, show all them haters. kobe is still the beast, lebron can suck on that

[carlawon]

im a true laker fan... pietrus is a good player he got outside himself on that play agenst pau, but i dont think he is dirty. he really gave it up to kobe many times saying he is the best player in the nba. people have to remember the 80s that play would just be a hard foul... he made a bad play but he is a good player

[tateavery21]

LBJ killed Pietrus more then kobe did. Stats say it. LBJ gaurds are too small and frontline too old

[whateveryouyouyou]

he's lucky to have the chances cuz i didnt know him before but now i do so that's his bonus magic

[charlitunaman2002]

Mickey's a pussy. Hitting his opponant tonight from behind, two fists to the back. What a whimp. And he hits like a girl. Next time he should grow a pair and try that crap face to face. Yo Mick.....try that with me! Ive never seen such a combination of ass and loser

[UnitedStatesOfChina]

amen to that! what a cheap move.

[TheEnd1190]

you mad?

[charlitunaman2002]

Ass and loser

[TheEnd1190]

lmao

[myoo2182]

Kobe will beat you with his precision and technique.. The fadeaway is unguardable. He makes or misses it, usually it doesn't matter what the D does. Lebron will beat you by overpowering you, outjumping you or blowing by you and finding the open man.

[hfflpffchaser55]

Lakers are my team all the way but this guy is hilarious :D

[ansar90]

Pietrus is a beast

[biraktimisigucu]

He is funny..

And he did the job tonite..

GO MAGIC

[4646asdfasdf]

you cant stop lebron from driving in. YOu cant stop Kobe's fadeaways. There i said it for him.

[leonk007]

KObe is tougher to guard than lebron, bc kobe can do it newhere, lebron he can only drive in, just give him the wide open jumpshot.

[ODDNOMAD]

i disagree, what about when lebron was on top of the key in the 4th quarter? he did everything there. he took a jumpshot(swish) he drove, (and 1) he passed it (another and1).........etc. lebron has way more abilities and court vision and thus is harder to defend.

[leonk007]

Pietrus dont lie, he was asked recently if who is guarder to defend and he quickly said "kobe, no doubt, you never know wat he is going to do, he is a legend"

[MrSteisag]

this is funny

[chongup]

u can't guard them

[HaWTSaUCE24]

that fool always looks angry

[kj6754]

......lol cause you can't really guard them.

[BlackHype]

shooting those three's!

[provex0]

lol that shows you how dumb blackies are. LOW IQ!!!!

[pfarrar6115]

LOL, that was an extremely entertaining 12 seconds, I'm glad i watched it.

[csikkmusic]

LoL! Don't know exactly how to take that expression on his face...

[smoothhoopinal]

I take it as meaning, "Don't remind me" LoL
