Kobe and MJ's point totals at their 24,537th FGA (MJ's career FGA total)

[Deuce Bigalow]

Kobe attempted his 24,537th career FGA vs Memphis on 11/11/2014, matching MJ's career FGA total. Here are each of their career point totals with the same FGA:

Kobe: 31,882
MJ: 32,292

A difference of +410 points in favor of MJ.

[STATUTORY]

well said, it's easy to understand the hate for Kobe tho,

you have the residual MJ stans, VC/tmac/AI stans, Bran stans Wade stans, Shaq stans, Pau stans

Kobe is literally enemy number 1. yet still literally MOST DISCUSSED MAN AT EVERY BBALL FORUM I FREQUENT

So if you break that down per NBA season, then Michael Jordan scores 22 more total points per year over the course of an 18 year career with the same number of field-goal attempts.

Sounds significant.

It actually doesnt... Doesnt come close to showing the gap between them.

that's less than a game difference per season

[SOD 21]

That's called sarcasm, folks.

[Deuce Bigalow]

Edit: Difference is actually 410 points

Kobe had 31882 points on his 24537th fga

[Akrazotile]

Difference is actually 414 points plus an enormous difference in defensive impact


Fixed

Edit: 31920 PTS 24570 FGA

Go back 33 FGA to get 24537 FGA

33 PTS 28 FGA @ 11/12/2014
5 PTS 5 FGA last 5 FGA @ 11/11/2014

= 31882 PTS 24537 FGA

So 414/32292 is the percentage for how more efficient MJ was than kobe.. It must be a MASSIVE percentage difference.. hold up lemme bust out by calculator real quick.

1%.

:eek: :eek:

Are those points scored off of actual field goals, or did you forget to subtract the points from free throws?

MJ made more FTs than Kobe did.. so if anything he getting a bonus in this comparison of efficiency.

You should have subtracted the freethrows from the total points.So the actual difference is about 1100 points.

Then, that should be accurately accounted for.

Where are all the Kobe haters who normally infest every Kobe related thread..

Why would they need to show up? OP is simply confirming what everyone already knows, Bryant is an inferior scorer.

Kobe haters in shell shock after seeing this thread.

Buahahahahahahahahaha!

Extra points don't matter, Spurs were one away from winning another ring.

MJ 50% shooter = clutch = has the right to shoot

simple as that

[julizaver]

There is no need of maths when comparing MJ and KB efficiency - it was visible by all who had watched NBA in 80s and 90s that MJ was far more efficient scorer. And he was more clutch than Bryant also. As I also posted several times both players are very easy to compare since KB stole MJ's moves, played at the same position, same height and so on.

And not to mention Kobe finals games/stats where the difference is even bigger.

Kobe stans love dat TS% ... flawed, but boost in efficiency.

How is it flawed? Are you saying 3 point shots and free throws should be taken away from the game of basketball?

Do you want two point shots only?

similar players = similar results...like I said all along
