I wonder what they will say about LeBron?

[Kblaze8855]

Andrew Wiggins was born in like 1995 and he considers Kobe part of his generation? I suppose its technically possible it just sounds odd. Kobe could be his father. A young father....but still.

[imnew09]

Well said young fella!

i was born in 1984 and i remember most of jordans career

atleast from 1990 till 2003


i was around 6 years old



wiggins would have been 6 years old around 2001


so wiggins would have witnessed and remembered basically 13 absolute peak prime type seasons by kobe



more than i saw of jordan

[Kblaze8855]

Thats fine. I dont care that he thinks Kobe is this or that. Its not like its a dumb opinion....hes a perfectly valid guy to say that about. Like I said...it just sounds odd thinking about his age. And it makes me feel old a little. I remember first hearing about Kobe around the time Wiggins was born. But when guys we came up on have kids in the league I guess the "Feeling old" ship has sailed.

[miggyme1]

WIGGINS IS DUMB...HE WAS BORN IN 95 HOW THE **** IS KOBE HIS GENERATION???? HE WOULD FALL INTO THE LEBRON GENERATION. OF COURCE OF COURSE LET THE TROLLS COME AND TELL ME IDK WHAT THE F*CK IM TALKING ABOUT.

Wiggins isn't old enough to witness a dominant ai,tmac,vince carter,shaq etc.

he was f*cking 8 when LeBron was drafted...let that sink in...F*CKING 8...BUT YOU GONNA SIT HERE AND BELIEVE KOBE IS HIS GENERATION?????? SHIT IS GARBAGE MAN...IM SORRY FOR ANYBODY WHO BELIEVES THIS SHIT....LEBRON IS HIS GENERATIONS GREATEST PLAYER NOT ****ING KOBE. IM SICK OF THESE SFOT GUYS IN TH ELEAGUE SAYING ANYTHING JUST TO APPEASE LEGENDS. YOU AINT LICK A LEGENDS ******* TO SHOW YOU APPRECIATE WHAT THEY DID FOR THE GAME YOU LOVE.

HOW THE F*CK CAN KOBE BE YOUR GENERATIONS GREATEST PLAYER AND YOU WERE 8 YEARS OLD WHEN LEBRON WAS DRAFTED???????????? IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE. IM DONE

ITS LIKE A 40 YEAR OLD SAYING LEBRON IS HIS GENERATIONS GREATEST PLAYER.SMH....AND DONT GIVE ME THAT OH WELL THATS HIS OPINION......THIS DUDE WAS F*CKING 8 WHEN LEBRON WAS DRAFTED. A F*CKING INFANT WHEN KOBE WAS DRAFTED. KOBE IS MORE MY GENERATION.............IM IN MY EARLY 30's BY THE WAY.

points per shot


meaning if a guy can get to the line and hit threes. his efficiency can still be great

kobe didnt dunk as much as MJ. but he was better at getting to the line and hitting threes. which is why a guy who shoots 45% can catch up to a guy shooting 50% and end up producing the same amount

When a player gets fouled while shooting, does that count as a shot in that system? If player A has 4 points on 2/2 FG ,and he gets fouled while shooting. He hits his 2 fts. Does he have 6 points on 2 shots or 6 points on 3 shots?

kobe got to the line once every 2.6 shots

jordan got to the line once every 2.8 shots




and considering jordan attacked the rim twice as much. and kobe settled for long range jumpers way more often. thats a scary statistic


the only reason jordan took 1 more free throw a game than kobe is cause he took 4 more shots per game

You ignored my question meaning the answer to it is probably no. If that's the case, PPS is not the best way to measure efficiency. TS% is much better measure.

Kobe also made a career of pump faking and jumping in to defenders to get a foul.

kobe spent a career on the perimeter and got just as much out of it as jordan ever did cheesing dunks and layups


and considering how many off balance highly contested long range shots kobe took. its amazing he was able to have the exact same output as jordan per shot attempt

jordan took advantage of the 80s shit defense and crap competition for him at shooting guard in terms of size/strength and athleticism

youd think he'd have a way better career point per shot stat

I mean, he's right kinda. I mean people can say Duncan but I mean honestly, Wiggins is still in his younger 20's...He didn't really see MJ or others, so the Kobe era is his era. I'm not surprised he picked Kobe.

how is kobe his era??

he was born in 95 kobe was drafted in 96. when kobe was winning rings he was what 5,6,7,8....lakers fell off kobe was still great...bron came in the league in 03 though.

My point is he wasn't old enough to remember those early laker title runs hell he was only 13 when kobe got back to the finals in 2008...by that time LeBron was CLEARLY THE BEST PLAYER WE HAD SEEN UP TO THAT POINT. I don't see how u can justify wiggins being able to witness kobes greatness over lebrons when LeBron was the it thing pretty much as soon as he touched the league. its stupid...leborn would be his generations greatest player. If kobe truly was "his" generations greatest player who is in "lebrons" generation?

elementary school kids?

I DONT THINK ITS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUNGER PLAYERS COMING OUT AND SAYING THEY ADMIRE LEBRONS GAME. I THINK PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY CANT PRAISE LEBRON BECAUSE HE ISNT AT THE END OF HIS CAREER YET. HELL IF YOU KNOW YOU HAD MORE LEBRON POSTERS IN YOUR ROOM THAN KOBES DONT BE ASHAMED TO ADMIT THAT. I JUST FIND IT STRANGE THAT KOBE IS "HIS" GENERATIONS BEST PLAYER.

I guess magic Johnson is mine and I was born in the mid 80's. IM DONE

Basically he grew up on Kobe. Wiggins was alive in 09/10 when Kobe won b2b lol so makes sense why he said that. Even if he was too young for three peat.

Youngins like Kobe...what can we say?

hes obviously referring to HIS OWN generation and is stating his opinion that kobe is the greatest player he saw growing up as a kid, whether you agree with him or not

I mean, I see what you're saying and I kind've agree with you. He was only 13 in 2008 but like, I was only like 13 in 1993 but I do think MJ is the goat and I do remember enough of his games when I was younger than 13. But my appreciation grew more the older I got.

I do think Wiggins is probably still salty at Lebron, I don't really blame him. I wouldn't really expect him to give props to a guy who didn't even want him on the team.

[kennethgriffin]

He didn't shoot 3s..?


jordan shot threes in 90, 93, 96 and 97

thats about it


and 2 of those years the 3 point line was like highschool court distance



other than those years jordan either rarely ever shot them or did them sparingly.


jordan still holds the record as the all time worst three point shooter in allstar weekend history

haha sure, hes speaking on behalf of his generation, but its still a SUBJECTIVE opinion. so what teh fck do you want him to say? when you "speak" on behalf of your generation, its usually a subjective opinion 99% of the time. thats common sense and something no one takes to heart, unless of course you have a stick so far up your loose ass that its pressing against your medulla oblongata
