    Exclamation When people look back at Kobe's career 24ppg on 44% and Finals career 24ppg on 41%

    5-10 years from now, when people see Kobe was a career 24ppg scorer on 44%, and Career 24ppg Finals scorer on 41%, will people even consider him a Top 10 scorer in NBA History?


    IMO, Scorers Kobe has no argument over:

    MJ : Career 30ppg on 50%
    LeBron: Career 27ppg on 50%
    Bird: Career 24ppg on 50%
    KD: Career 27ppg on 50%
    Kareem: Career 25ppg on 57%
    Wilt: Career 30ppg on 55%
    Shaq: Career 24ppg on 58%
    Elgin Baylor: Career 27ppg on 44%
    Adrian Dantley: Career 24ppg on 54%
    Oscar Robertson: Career 26ppg on 46%





    Imo all 10 of them beat Kobe in production and efficiency when it comes to scoring.


    Remember I'm being very generous to Kobe here, I could keep going and include Karl Malone, TMac, Wade, Dr. J, Rick Barry, Dominique Wilkins etc. Which would have made Kobe look very bad, but I'm going to give him a break.


    So overall, Kobe has no argument for being a Top 10 scorer in NBA History, which is funny considering Scoring is the only thing he's known for.


    This kinda helps explain why many don't believe him to be a Top 10 player in NBA History, when he's not even Top 10 all-time in his greatest attribute.








    As time goes on, after he retires, more and more people will see that he was not close to being an elite scorer.

    First of all he averages 25 ppg. Second of all he played 20 years. How many players in history average 25 ppg over that long a span? That's impressive any way you slice it.

    He's only 36-37, thats not that old.


    Even if you take out his last 2 seasons, it doesnt change that he's not an elite scorer.

    Lol so funny to see Kobe stans have to try to go to percentage arguments, and then get sonned. They must be running out of arguments if they're turning to the one thing they've tried to downplay for years.
