MJ playoff points record is going to be shattered

[Punpun]

Don't you see it guys ? The Lakers are going to play 28 games those playoff. Kobe is currently averaging 31.4 PPG. But for the sake of the discussion let's round it out to 30 PPG. 24x30=840 Points.

Kobe currently has 5393 Points scored in the PO (before the PO started apparently). MJ has 5987 Points. 5987 - 5393 = 594 Points.

In other words, with those measly 840 points, Kobe will have scored 6233 points.

Record Shattered.

Or if my numbers are already up to date, that's 156 (44+43+38+31) less points, thus scoring 6077 points. Record shattered.

5,436 according to Deuce. That's 551 points left for him to pass MJ. Or 19 games left when Kobe will pass Jordan if averaging 30 ppg.

Except for the fact the Lakers aren't making out of first round..

corrected.

[gengiskhan]

The modern day 7-games 1st round series is invented so that MJ all time playoffs scoring record is shattered at some point.

Greatest aspect of MJs all-time PO scoring record is he did it in '80s & '90s when players couldnt score in POs against the "jordan rules", knicks D, Heat D, Pacers D etc etc.

Kobe can score all he wants by pusing First round series to 7 games against defenseless denver & boost up his scoring ave to 31.5 ppgs.

reality is no one cares, He seriously lacks playoffs cinematic moments like GOAT has given us.

Kobe also missing POs in his peak & exiting early after 3-1 lead against Suns in prime peak yrs will cost him dearly as LBJ is on his heals ready to break all the all-time PO scoring ever gonna be set by Kobe.

Durant is heading in same direction too.

Jordan NBA-record 33.4ppg in the playoffs....34.7ppg from 85-93. Kobe with another "longetivity" record that will be broken by Lebron James and Kevin Durant at some point.


:rolleyes: .......but, you can wallow around in second-rate records if you like.

[Punpun]

Dude, nobody hates on KAJ for his "longetivity" record. Why are you hating ? Plus "longitivity" is a great sign of greatness. No idea what you are on.

[thelucifer69]

I think he better improve his shooting efficiency

.307 FG% .333 3P% 24.3 PPG Vs OKC this season

There is good chance he will struggle in Round 2

You are retarded dude, stop posting.

Brett Favre has every QB record known to man because he played forever. He also has the most interceptions and most fumbles. Same as Kobe needing 2000 more shots to pass Jordan on the single franchise scoring list, or how ever many more playoff games he's played than Jordan to get the playoff scoring record.

You play long enough and you will rack up records. Thing is, while he is great, nobody is ever going to say Brett Favre was a better QB than Dan Marino, Joe Montana, etc just because he has the records.

It is a second rate record.

[Punpun]

Why are you hating on longetivity bro ? Longetivity while dominating is one of the greatest mark that you're an all-time great instead of a fluke.

Oh I see, you are putting it as a MJ vs Kobe thing. It's not. :oldlol:

Michael Jordan:

213 playoff games
5436 points on 25.5 ppg @ 45% FG average
highest - 32.8 ppg
lowest - 8.2 ppg, as a starter 19.8 ppg




When Kobe played equal amount of playoff games as Jordan (179 games) he had only 4381 points to Jordans 5943...
Jordan needed only ~120 games compared to Kobes 179 get 4381 points...
Jordan needed only ~160 games compared to Kobes 213 to get Kobes current 5436 points...
Kobe needs 23+ more playoff games at his current scoring rate to match Jordans 5943 points and considering Kobe has played an average of 7 games these past two seasons in the playoffs it will take him an estimated 3-4 years (when he is 36-37 years old) to match Jordans career playoff points...

Just saying....

A longevity record for Kobe, thats all, which will probably be destroyed by Lebron & Durant anyways....

I know its fun as a Kobe fan to compare him to Jordan.... but i hope you understand that Jordan was just on a whole different level....

Try loving the Game of Basketball instead of wanking to whatever is your crusade bro.

Jordan's playoff ppg; 33.4
Kobe's playoff ppg; 25.5

Jordan's playoff ppg until his first retirement(in his prime); 34.7
Kobe's playoff ppg in his prime(01-10); 28.9

Kobe has already played 34 more playoff games. Yet he still needs 552 points to surpass Jordan.

Kobe has already taken 100+ shots this series alone. He needs exactly 165 more FGA to tie Jordan.

In the playoffs:

Jordan - 49%FG / 57%TS / 50%eFG - 33 ppg

That the league has become way better. Now stop polluting my thread.

If Jordan came out of high school AND didn't have his 2 year absence, he would shatter every offensive record and no one would be touching his scoring records.

That may have to do with Kobe struggling far more often, with far more 40% FG series. I like how people always say....look how many more FGA he has than Kobe...huge difference and prime example was last night....Jordan didn't shoot his team into not wanting to play, because he shot 50% more than not(early on Jordan did)...Bynum quit and was pissed, watching Kome jack 32 shots, last night.....people act like Kobe doesn't shoot as much as MJ, because "he isn't as selfish" :roll: He doesn't because he's less efficient and it will hurt his team far more. Jordan shot far more within the realm of the offense, while Kome plays one on one far more

Yes I did watch the game, I think Kobe should shoot, but his style of shooting at times makes guys quit or "stand and watch" way more than MJ, (except Jordans early days...he was the same way). Kobe is in season 16...shouldn't he be more selective by now?

Jordan now sucks because he had better shot seletion than Kobe....Kobe was forced to chuck those threes....which still result if less ppg

[OldSchoolBBall]

Amazing that these stans can act like Kobe is anywhere near the playoff performer Jordan was. :oldlol:

MJ's playoff numbers through his first retirement (111 games, 24 series):

34.8 pts/6.7 reb/6.7 ast/2.4 stl/1.1 blk/51.5% FG. Yeah, that's basically 35/7/7/2+/1+/51% FG over 111 playoff games. Unreal that anyone thinks Kobe compares when he's had maybe - MAYBE - a half dozen series in his ENTIRE CAREER that are even ON that level, and probably only 2-3 that are clearly superior to it.

He had around ~22 shots going into the 4th and shot 7 or 8 down the stretch when he got them back into the game. His shooting isn't an excuse for Bynum's body language throughout the game.

[RazorBaLade]

yup and over a career is 7 less ppg

What exactly are your credentials to determine how a five time champion should approach the game?

[Calabis]

What exactly are your credentials to determine how a five time champion should approach the game?

I think Kobe approaches the game fine, he's also a great playoff game performer.....but when you start comparing him, too arguable the best playoff performer, he comes up short period. Kobe in my mind tends to try to force the memorable moment too often....two seasons ago against the Suns, dude played brillant basketball, it was pure art watching him play that series. He played in the frame of the offense, took high quality shots, took what the defense gave him...therefore outstanding series performance.

[Legends66NBA7]

Please, the only, I thought, thing susceptible to cause bs like that in my opening statement was me flat out writing the Lakers would make the finals.

Turns out, simply saying some player is going to break some other guy record is enough to turn a HIM vs HIM. Which really show you guys would talk about anything.

[Legends66NBA7]

It was clearly his intention to imply Kobe>MJ purely to start trouble.

I didn't think he was trying to compare, at all, or even say Kobe > MJ.

If that was his intention, then really... we should already know by now who's better, anyways.

[Punpun]

Dude, am I notorious ? :biggums:

[gengiskhan]

To be honest, I don't think that was the OP's intention.

thats exactly OPs intention was.

There is a 8 ppg Playoffs difference btw Kobe & MJ.

Something Kobe can never think of overcoming.

Kobe is a "good" playoff performer not "great" & OP knows that.

MJ is not just "great" but "the greatest" playoffs performer ever.

[Punpun]

Guys, Kobe is also going to shatters KAJ's record. Oh my god, am I impling something here too ?

:biggums:

[bwink23]

The difference between 50% and 45% on 20 attempts is one shot per game. I'm just talking math here, nothing attached to names.

:)


NO IT' IT'S NOT....


If i take 20 and hit 10 for 50%...you take 20 hit 9 for 45%....you have to hit your next to shots to hit 50%.

You're 2 shots off pace. That adds up majorly over the course of a season.

Let's put it this way....if it was essentially just "1 shot", and it's so damn close. Then how come Kobe hasn't had add least ONE DAMN SEASON of 50%FG ?? If it was close, the odds would have swung in favor of 50%FG at least once.

Don't bring "3-pointers" into the argument either. Kobe's had a few seasons taking just 2-3 attempts from 3 and still never came close to 50%FG

:biggums:

So you want Kobe to shatter KAJs record so a muslim doesn't hold the records?

Fckin' racist.

[Punpun]

And proud of it. Wacchu gonna do ? :coleman:

[The Iron Fist]

I think Kobe approaches the game fine, he's also a great playoff game performer.....but when you start comparing him, too arguable the best playoff performer, he comes up short period. Kobe in my mind tends to try to force the memorable moment too often....two seasons ago against the Suns, dude played brillant basketball, it was pure art watching him play that series. He played in the frame of the offense, took high quality shots, took what the defense gave him...therefore outstanding series performance.
Nobody is comparing them though. It was simply pointed out that a recored will be broken.

I know the OP's intention was not to compare, I simply replied to Deuce Bigalow who was doing exactly that

[lilgodfather1]

This thread is awfully premature. I will say I believe that it will happen, but all it takes is one injury and that hope is gone. If the Lakers play 12 games this playoffs, and he gets injured next year then he may never play another playoff game in is life.

I wish him the best of health though, and I want to see him hold that record. Just one more cherry on the sundae that is Kobe Bryant's NBA career. Truly one of the greats.

[Duncan21formvp]

The amazing thing is that MJ is the only player to even average 30+ ppg in the playoffs for a career. In fact he is basically 4 ppg higher than anyone else. Not to mention Kobe has already played 34 more playoff games than MJ due to him going to a winning organization from the get go with a guy in his prime who was top 3 in the league from the get go.

Jordan dumped 49 and 63 in the second playoff series he ever played against the eventual NBA champion Boston Celtics on their NBA-record 40-1 home floor. :wtf:


Just a sign of things to come....:pimp:

Yes....his sorry ass team got swept by the NBA Champion Celtics. Jordan didn't have the luxury of coming to a team that won 56 games the year prior like someone we both know....:lol

KOBE

[Da_Realist]

34 more playoff games and still has 62 fewer rebounds, 11 fewer assists, 75 fewer steals and 15 fewer blocks than MJ.

MJ took 166 more shots than Kobe, but incredibly Kobe has already missed 83 more field goals. :hammerhead:

And what championship does that 56 win team have?

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

Probably wont happen this season, but maybe next, if he can stay healthy and play at a high level.

[lakerspng]

Why would anyone for any reason try to diminish this accomplishment? Simply put of all the great players who ever played this game, Kobe will have more career points in the playoffs than any. That's damn amazing. Cant we just say thank you for the effort, it's been an honor watching you perform.

These are kobe'tard we're dealing with here.

Full Retards dont understand "sample size" definition.

Just some heads up. :coleman:
