Just looking at the type of games these two had to have just to have a 35ppg season is incredible.

I don't think it will happen again in a long while, especially with super teams forming. It was entertaining as hell though.

lmao his game score whatever that is in the 81 pt game is 64.

thats like double anything ive ever seen from that category

[NOHCP3]

Each season only 3 games under 19 points. Wow. I'm only old enough to see the Kobe year and I remember it being like watching a machine...hated that guy

3 pointers, buddy

[Dictator]

Irelevant, buddy

fixed.

[RazorBaLade]

fixed.

how the hell is it irrelevant? 3s are more efficient than 2s yet kobe in this case is punished for taking the more efficient 3 because FG% doesn't factor the extra point.

Its really much closer, jordan still has the adv of course, but not much.

True, Jordan barely took any 3's and shot 18.2% and 13.2% from 3, respectively.

Kobe meanwhile, attempted 6.5 3's per game.

TS% would be a better comparison of how efficiently these two players scored.

Kobe: 55.9%
MJ: 56.2% and 60.3%

Close one year, MJ more efficient the other.

One thing is clear though, pauk is a hater.

He meant that the FG% difference between Jordan and Kobe is irrelevant

So, why didnt Kobe skip those 3's and score as Jordan instead? I will let you think about that yourself....

because he got more points for the 3 you ****ing retard

[Jacks3]

Kobe had excellent efficiency that year considering his incredible volume.

56% TS
115 ORTG
9% TOV rate (10th lowest in the league )

He also posted the highest offensive +/- EVER recorded for a season at +21.

Because Kobe is a better shooter than MJ while MJ was a superior athlete and slasher than Kobe.

Players play to their strengths. It's not like I'm arguing that if Kobe only took 2 point FGA, he would score as efficiently as MJ. I'm saying that He scored nearly as efficiently as MJ did by playing to his strengths.
