Lame trolling attempt to get Laker and Bulls fans against each other

Okay..?

Who cares? Shaq said it best earlier this when talking about Kd & Melo

"Who cares about scoring titles"

It is funny tho seeing Bran stans try to prop up the scoring title when they constantly shit in Melo for only having a "meaningless scoring title"

Kobe literally gave Durant a scoring title a few years ago.

[dubeta]

Kobes the most overrated scorer ever

25 points on 45% shooting


there are literally 100's of players who could average that

OP has used more emoticons in this thread than actual words.

Quality poster, not a troll

add an extra 4 shots and 1 free throw attempt to kobes FGA's/FTA's per game every season and he collects the scoring title in

2001
2002
2003
2008
2009
2010
2012
2013

to add with 2006 and 2007

thats 10 scoring titles





averaging 4 more shot attempts and 1 more free throw makes a big difference

So what your saying is Jordan was a chucker?

Kobe 3, Jordan 10. Explain.

Who cares?

Scoring titles are meaningless

Scoring titles are based on averages, not total points.

Melo won the scoring title in 2013 while only playing 67 games. He averaged an entire .6 more points per game than Durant & Durant played in 81 games...

Again, who cares

[To4]

kobe averaged 19 FGA's per game career

michael jordan averaged 23 FGA's per game career

How bout the Percentage??

[kennethgriffin]

Kobe 3, Jordan 10. Explain.

sometimes you sacrifice shots for yourself to make team mates better

kobe didnt have the luxery of playing on a derrick rose type defensive built team that jordan had.


the bulls were all about stopping the other team. jordan basically could shoot as many times as he wanted because other guys rhythm didnt matter


however for kobe. he was either on a team with shaq or a team that relied on its offensive chemistry to win.

the kobe/gasol lakers team defense was never that great. they relied on ball movement and offensive chemistry to win


kobe couldnt just hog for 32ppg. he had to dial it back to around 27 and many times kobe lost the scoring title by maybe 1 point

i'm sure if kobe wanted he could have taken a buttload of scoring titles.

but that really isnt even a valuable thing to have. kobes never gone out to try and get the scoring title. he scores based on how the defense plays him and what his team needs.


the only times he ever lead the league in scoring was when he absolutely needed to. having kwame and smush on his team was more than enough reason to hog the ball

[TheMarkMadsen]

Kobe lost scoring titles to guys like Iverson & T Mac.

Who were the only offensive options in their teams..

Kobe showed how much he could score as the only offensive option on his team and he blew those two guys as their "scoring champion" seasons out of the water.

Soooo again, who cares

[kennethgriffin]

How bout the Percentage??

kobe took like 5000 more three pointers in his career and jordan barely took any contested shots for the first half of his career

kobe and jordan were really only similar in their midrange shooting. other than that theyre 2 completely different offensive players.

jordan was always more of a dwyane wade. protected his fg% allot

kobe shoots double teamed from 40 feet and makes a good enough percentage to keep the defense honest. but it doesnt help his fg%



its all reletive to the type of scorer someone is. a guy like rick barry is considered the greatest offensively skilled player ever and even he shot only 44% fg's in his nba career

more difficult looks = lower percentage.. as long as you make up for it by drawing a ton of fouls and getting 9-10 free throws and hit enough threes to make it close to a true 50% output percentage... it balances out.. which is why kobe got away with 45% and was so successful


it amazes me how uneducated people are on this board. if yall need tutoring just send me a PM
