Kobe Bryant, Chasing History!

[SinJackal]

Did you know that...

...Babe Ruth is the strike-out king of baseball?

...Edison did not succeed with the light bulb until his 1,000th attempt?

...Albert Einstein got an F in math?

...Henry Ford went broke five times?

...Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team?

The moral of the story, "You must fail to succeed"

No he isn't, and he's not even remotely close to it. There are players with nearly double the strikeouts he has. In fact, Babe Ruth's 162 game average for strikeouts is only 86, which is also much lower than the leading player in that category too. He also doesn't have the highest total strikeouts in a season, not even close to that either.

So in no conceivable way is that statement true.

Some of the other stuff might be, but that definitely isn't.

Thanks. Didn't take too long to type up because everything was really the top of my head.

Just to add more players to the list

Lamar Odom. Wore a headband countless times. Had potential to be a 23/10/6 and more kinda guy. No explanation needed on what happened to him.

T-Mac played alot of games with a headband in Houston.

Rondo being smart, ditching the headband early. Nice work young fella. He's probably praying D. Rose wears a headband...


Alot of other players. Feel free to add on to the list people.

Pete Sampras didn't wear a head band. Considered to be the GOAT tennis player.

Bo Jackson didn't wear a headband.

Bruce Lee didn't wear a headband.

I think you're on to something.

[Ruh-Roh]

Don't think so.

Wilt did, Russell didn't. BAM

Don't forget Brett Farve, most all-time interceptions.

ok kobe from 2 pt land in his 15th season
16,233 two point attempts
8,411 bricks from inside the arc

jordan from 2 point land in his 15 seasons
22,759 two point attempts
11,148 bricks

EDIT ok i missed it sinjackal, m'bad, like i said i'm in a meeting, not that anyone would care i just don't want to derail the meeting with basketball talk.. i want to go home...lol

ahhh good ol stats backfiring

and showing Jordan is the true brick machine

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Red"]Thread Recap[/COLOR][/FONT]

In 41010 minutes of play, michael jordan missed 12345 shots. This means every minute, jordan bricked .3 shots (so every 3.3 minutes he would birck a shot)

In 38063 minutes of play, kobe bryant missed 11008 shots (up to date today). This means every minute, kobe bricked .289 or ~.29 shots (so every 3.46 minutes he would brick a shot).

A ratio of .3 shots missed per minute is worse than a ratio of .29 per minute for those of you who cannot comprehend statistics.

Jordan is therefore technically .01 more of a bricklayer than kobe bryant. These are the irrefutable facts.

Jordan = GOAT chucker

Kobe Bryant is very talented for sure
But he takes a lot of difficult shots.
Early on in his career he had questionable shot selection

I think with the more talented Laker team Kobe has now, Kobe should take less shots and play within the flow. The Lakers happen to win more often when Kobe takes fewer than 20 shots. While he takes fewer shots, Kobe is also much more efficient, and totally controlled the flow of the game. Also that way Kobe can play less minutes.

What I would like to see, is Kobe shooting less, but more efficient, and average 7+ assists. kinda like taking a stepback like Duncan this year. Even if he takes only 15 FGA, Kobe's still gonna get his 20+ Points a game, and get more out of his teammates. I wonder if Kobe can ever shoot like 49% for a season?

[The Choken One]

I just don't get how this is seriously an insult... look at the phuckin' people on that list.

Kobe haters just grasping for straws.

Kobe breaks a "positive" longevity record Kobe haters say it don't matter.
Kobe breaks a "negative" longevity record, Kobe haters bust a phuckin' nut.

Stfu already. This shouldn't even be a thread...

Oh yeah...p.s....LeBron will have that record when all is said and done.

[Mamba]

trying to maintain the lowest FG% in finals history?

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Why are people being so difficult and talking about the number of bricks thrown up?
Who cares about the total stats?
The averages are the ones that matter.
Jordan shot 49.7% for his Career, Kobe shot 45.5%.
Don't get me wrong, Kobe Bryant is amazing, and definitely a top 10 all time once all is said and done.
MJ and Kobe are very similar, they have similar skillsets, similar size, and similar stats.

But as of right now, he's more like an inferior Michael Jordan.
Case Closed.
