Better Scorer: Kobe or Jordan?

[RonE Coleman]

Jordan actually played in an era where you could manhandle perimeter players. And yet, his efficiency takes a dump on Kobe, despite both being high volume scorers.

Is this actually a question?

Your right, not a question at all.

If MJ played nowadays when you can't hand check he'd easily average 35-40 pts a game on efficient scoring.

Ridiculous volume scoring you say.

His ts% was 74. Maybe you better know that facts before you spray your hate fumes everywhere.

BTW, do you know what Jordan's TS% was when he scored his 69?

one game is your reasoning? wow

You're going to call those who argue the other way "homers"... So what's the point?


Is ESPN being a channel mean they don't and can't bait?

I posted a poll with my opinion already known to see what others wanted thought. Shoot me!

I haven't called anyone a homer. Disagreeing with me doesn't mean you're wrong. I didn't realize this was a debate, hence why I asked.

There are arguments to be made as to why Kobe is in Jordan's class. All I've seen is "I have 81 reasons why". That's not an argument.

I just saw this on Espn. Jordan should have gotten 100% of the vote. What an insult that it got even that close and it shows a huge lack of knowledge and surplus of jaded homers. And I even like Kobe

[noodle]

but it's not.

Ugh...I can't believe I'm agreeing with this guy, but...

[bucketss]

My most I'm sure you mean the usual Bandwagon Heat fans on this site that discredit Kobe for any reason possible.

this coming from the guy who writes multiple full page essays to discredit lebron.

kobe bryant from age 21 to 34 has averaged 27.2 ppg. jordan from age 21-34 averaged 31.5. mj led the league in scoring 10 times, kobe twice. jordans career ts% is .569 and efg% is .509 while kobes ts% is .555 and efg is .487. I don't get how its close

It was an AMAZING accomplishment, for sure. Not trying to slight it. It was volume scoring, but there's nothing wrong with that. He was amazingly efficient that one game, even while taking near 50 shots.

But extrapolating upon a sample size that means something, explain to me how during their careers you feel Kobe is better, please?

[AIRMAR72]

Michael Jeffrey Jordan.

Anyone who says Kobe is either under the age of 15 or just a blatant idiot.

I agree

[matterxD]

Not at all, it's just the gap between kobe and jordan is larger than some lakers fans want to acknowledge.

Tell me how large. Please Elaborate Heat Fan.

[ThunderousDemon]

Let's just rename the title for what it really is, which is a Kobe bash thread.

Move along people, just let Hawkeye and justinnum fap to their heart's content.

P.S. Don't fap too hard or else you'll get Carpal tunnel.

Hasty Generalization fallacy. An argument tactic most commonly used by children I might add. How ironic.

Says the guy whose argument that Kobe is better, is that he scored 81 in ONE GAME

[IIISSKiLL]

Jordan 32,292 in 14 seasons, Kobe 30,016 in his 16th season. That's with Jordan retiring twice when most think that he could have gone(and won) the nba finals which would have resulted in more games which would result to more points. Kobe is a great player but Jordan is the best

And you made this thread thinking that you would get reasonable arguments? Seriously?? I find that very hard to believe.
