Kobe Bryant vs Michael Jordan Career 2 Point FG%...

[eliteballer]

From age 21(Though Jordan turned 22 midway through his rookie year)

Kobe: 7518-15528: 48%

Jordan: 11611-22795: 51%

Kobe takes more 3's because he can make them better and it adds another dimension to confuse the D, and also because 1 on 1 isos are more difficult.

Considering how close that is when Jordan played most of his career(up to 96) in an era where high FG%'s were far more common and easier to obtain(Barkley shooting 60% for example)...well lets just say the efficiency argument goes right out the window.

Kobe isn't better than Jordan dude...get over it.

What are you trying to prove in this thread?

51% is still higher and better than 48% just like Michael Jordan is still ranked higher and was better than Kobe Bryant.

what were their 3pt %?

btw 1 shot a game is pretty huge.. imagine how many games lakers would have won if kobe just scored 2 more pts EVERY game

im pretty sure the 3pt% makers up for the 2

Then go compare their eFG%....

Michael Jordan eFG% - 51%
Kobe Bryant eFG% - 49%

Nope, still inferior.

[eliteballer]

Barkley shot 60% one season in that era...dont you get it

[Soothing Layup]

Michael shot 7000+ more shots :

That's Jordan's entire career, Kobe's career isnt over yet.

"Kobe takes more 3's because he can make them better and it adds another dimension to confuse the D, and also because 1 on 1 isos are more difficult."

how does taking 3s confuse the defense again? if anythign you're bailing out the defense by taking a low percentage shot. :

Then go compare their eFG%....

Michael Jordan eFG% - 51%
Kobe Bryant eFG% - 49%

Nope, still inferior.

How is eFG% figured out?

Hmmmm...

Kobe was 4 years younger when he came in, different development curve...HM

[Soothing Layup]

Kobe was 4 years younger when he came in...HM

That is true, but he was at a "Pro level" nonetheless, or do the lakers recruit just any HS kids??

[eliteballer]

Your stupidity is astounding. Kobe came in at age 18 from High School onto a contender and Jordan came in at age 21/22 after North Carolina on a lottery team. Kobe is 33 right now, Jordan retired from the Bulls at 35 and also missed .

Kobe's FGA's will go up because, you know, he is going to keep playing...unless you have an argument for that ISHiot
