Kobe on that Bill Russell scoring tip?

It seems that every single player on the list except for one was an efficient scorer...

I like this thread because there is no agenda

[SouBeachTalents]

Russell never shot above 47% either

[Deuce Bigalow]

2/6 is fresh off shooting .398 in the NBA finals OP...

Russell never shot above 47% either

No way, I just assumed every center had so I didn't even look at Russell of all the players :lol

But, we can also easily say that Russell has never been regarded as "one of the best scorers" either.

It doesn't blow your mind at least a LITTLE bit that Kobe never shot above .469 once? Is that not the epitome of a volume scoring chucker? No hate, but honestly...If that doesn't prove it. Jesus. I figured every all time great who is known for scoring could've done it at least once.

Also, are we comparing a 6-game series sample (which is already out of context for reasons most NBA fans know consider the circumstances) versus an entire career?

I'm not cherry picking Kobe's 6 for 24, I'm looking at the dude's entire career...

What are MJ and Kobe's point and FGA totals?

What are MJ and Kobe's point and FGA totals?

MJ is a career 50% FG player and Kobe has the NBA record for most missed field goals lol...

I can appreciate the effort. It's a new spin on an old troll. One that I haven't seen before. Kudos. You got potential kid. Go get em' little rascal.

[Cold soul]

Nice troll thread. There's no hidden agenda here. :facepalm

Mind posting the totals?

This is cherry picking and detracting at its finest. Pick an arbitrary number to validate a point that really isn't grounded in fact. Anyway, It's all relative to respective seasons. Kobe's efficiency for the most part has been above or right on the league average, very rarely below it if ever.

Not saying that I agree with OP's choice of topic but it's amazing to me that Kobe stans love to claim that he's top 5, but he doesn't show up in any efficiency/advanced stats category as the other usual suspects like MJ whose stats SCREAM out at you. Don't you think some one who is acclaimed to be top 10 (top 5 to his fans) should be not just AVERAGE or below?

:oldlol: Agenda free thread indeed.

Legitimately there has been nothing more overrated in the history of the sport of basketball than Kobe's impact on the court. His style of play is flashy window dressing that sells shoes and mesmerizes lower minds. His actual impact on the outcome of games has been shown to be marginal. Hes genuinely not a top 20 player. Guys like DRob, Stockton, Cp3, Pippen, and a ton of others had more all around positive impact than Kobe's one dimensional, no defense, volume ppg chucking.

Kobe's 45pt, 10reb 3stl game against the Spurs in 2001 was the chuckfest of the century for sure.

Never seen such inefficient play. Let's discuss.
