Bait thread is bait thread.

Based on what? Your ass? Jordan has a higher TS% and eFG% if you want to adjust.

based on him shooting 41%....
the whole "MJ in this era would average 35+.." is bull....

history proved his scoring and FG% dropped off as the 90's wore on....and he shot horrible in the 2000's

2 totally different era's.....

This is the list of guards/small forwards who shot over 50% and had 20+ PPG during MJ's era(1985-1998).

Michael Jordan - 6 times
Chris Mullen - 6 times
Adrian Dantley - 4 times
Kiki Vandewedge - 4 times
Reggie Miller - 3 times
James Worthy - 3 times
Alex English - 3 times
Dale Ellis - 3 times
Magic Johnson - 2 times
Penny Hardaway - 2 times
Kevin Johnson - 2 times
Clyde Drexler - 2 times
Cedric Ceballos - 2 times
Mark Aguirre - 2 times
Gary Payton - once
Byron Scott - once
Rolando Blackman - once
Walter Davis - once
Jeff Hornacek - once
Otis Birdsong - once
Jeff Malone - once
George Gervin - once
Drazen Petrovic - once
Reggie Lewis - once
Derek Smith - once
Scottie Pippen - once



And here is the list of guards/small forwards who shot over 50% and had 20+ PPG during the post-Lockout era(2000-2010).

Lebron James - once
Chris Paul - once
Tony Parker - once
Monta Ellis - once
Shawn Marion - once


So in MJ's era it was done 56 times by 26 different players.

In the last 11 years, it has been done only 5 times by 5 different players.

Still you ...

MJ > Wilt (regular season)
MJ >>> Wilt (playoffs)

So, a PRIME Jordan averaged 39.4 ppg in his first seven seasons, combined...then? He had the FOUR highest scoring seasons in NBA history? He had two seasons of over 40+ ppg and even one of over 50 ppg? He had SIX 70+ point games, including one of 100? He had 32 60 point games? He had 118 50 point games? Or 271 40 point games?

I guess I better recheck the RECORD BOOK then. Last time I looked, I didn't read ANY of that.

Right ... and that doesn't take into account age, correct?

The older you are the less legs you have, which affects jumpers.

The older you are the less you get to the basket, which can also affect FG %

You're logic is remedial.

Given your logic, Kevin Durant will be a better scorer than Kobe Bryant. Simply due to "era"

I see you make EXCUSES for MJ, but none for Wilt. Typical.

[jlauber]

Career ...

Once again...OP stated PRIME...

nothing there about CAREER that I can see.

NOR Post-season, either.

[knickswin]

seriously jlauber, can you stop with your Wilt trolling?

Give it up already...your cliche excuses are tired and silly...

Legs???....of course age plays in...but your whole "legs" excuse is Bunk.

Shooting is muscle memory through repitition and mental preparation more then using the "strungth in your lugz"


Jordan who was 38 came back after resting his Body for 2 years much like he did in 1995....and he still was in great shape working out with Tim Grover since the mid 90's...



could he attack from anywhere??...of course not , but the 2000's MJ was very similar to the the late 90's version who used footwork and position to create his shot....

except Craig Ehlo and John Starks weren't guarding him....so he shot pretty bad...maybe the worst ever for a 20PPG SG

[jlauber]

seriously jlauber, can you stop with your Wilt trolling?

Yes...it is trolling to bring up Wilt in a discussion of the most unstoppable scorer of all-time. I get it.

[OldSchoolBBall]

most unstoppable scorer has only 2 scoring titles in 15 seasons lol....

* except for the playoffs

So true. With the way these stans act, you'd think Kobe has like 7+ scoring titles and 30+ games of 40+ in the playoffs and at least 6 games of 50+ in the playoffs. But alas, some things are too much to ask for...

Kobe = GOAT scorer against scrub teams in the regular season. Roughly 60% of his 40+ point and 50+ point games came in 2006/2007, and the average record of the teams he scored 40+ on during those seasons was 39-41, and the record of teams he scored 50+ on was 37-42. GOAT scorer indeed. <snicker>

Lol, Jordan has as many 30-point games on 50+% shooting as Kobe has 30-point games total. If you take efficiency out, he's still a couple hundred behind.

are you trying to be funny or just downright stupid?

06-07 Kobe

2006
35.4 PPG/56% TS.
27 40+ point games
8 50+ point games
81 pts
62 pts in three quarters
4 straight 45+ point games
Multiple 40+ PPG months

2007
32 PPG/58% TS
19 40+ point games
10 50+ point games (only Wilt has done so)
4 straight 50+ point games
36 PPG/57% TS in second half of the year

Now consider...

Kobe in that 2-year stretch had 46 40+ point games. The next closest player had...20.

He had 18 50+ point games. The next closest player had... 3. The rest of the league combined had 14.

Think about that.

Just imagine what absurd things this guy would have done if he was given that type of free-reign his entire career? Especially during his athletic prime?

I'm talking...

40+ 50+ point games
200+ 40+ point games
7-8 scoring titles
9-10 60+ point games
Multiple 35+ PPG average seasons
