If YOU read carefully, you'll see that what he means isn't so much in what he says but what he DOESN'T say. If I told you I could beat you in Chess if I tried, what does that mean? That you don't try in chess so I'd win? Or that I think I'm better than you?

Except that's not comparable. He's not saying "I can beat Kobe at basketball" so "I can beat you at chess" is not the same comparison. He's saying he could beat Kobe at one aspect of the game (if Kobe and everyone else just keep playing the way they do now), but that he doesn't because it's not the best way to actually win games. So, of course, he is saying Kobe isn't actually trying to win the scoring title every year, just like he himself isn't actually trying to win it every year.


Saying one could win at something provided others didn't try? That's something so obvious it goes without saying. You know, a figure skater could log more jumps than the other ones, assuming no one else cares to beat her for number-of-jumps. It's so blatant that it's not worth saying.

It's not worth saying cuz no one cares. But some people do make a big deal about the scoring title.

And not everyone could win it, even if others (like Kobe and LeBron) didn't go all-out for it.
