Kobe, Jordan, and 40 point games.

[Vienceslav]

Probably not happening , but it

[Story Up]

Kobe had 50% of those games in two seasons. He'd easily beat Jordan if he was the #1 option from the get go.

I think it worked out better overall for Kobe to be #2 for a while. Few more rings because of it.

Michael Jordan 87, 88 seasons = 43, 40-point games.

Kobe Bryant 06,07 seasons = 29, 40-point games.

Where did this 50% crap come from???????? LOL!!


As you can see, as for as prolific scoring goes over even just a couple of years, Jordan still whips Kobe....

If...If...If Kobe was starting and the number 1 from the get-go......If Jordan hadn't lost most of the entire 86 season to injury......If Jordan hadn't retired for a 1 year and a half during his prime years....if Jordan hadn't retired at 35 while he was still capable of averaging 29 a game...If....If....If

Maybe. But if he was the #1 option from the get go, forget about first three rings. Which option is better?

This is nonsense. BOTH Kobe and Jordan did most of their damage in terms of 40+ point games in two seasons (MJ had 55 games of 40+ points in '87 and '88 versus Kobe's 45 such games in '06 and '07). Saying that Kobe "would have" done more is a joke, because Jordan also would have done more scoring if he didn't concentrate on his team game and all-around game post-1988, if he wasn't expending a ton of energy on defense (way more than Kobe), and if he didn't have as good a team as he did post 1989.


Let's also not neglect the fact that Jordan had more playoff games of 40+ point in two postseasons ('89 and '90) than Kobe has had in his entire playoff career (13 games of 40+ points versus 11 games).

nah, he won't pass jordon on this.

[bwink23]

I forget, which one of those retirements was caused by David Stern for the force retirement of Jordan for inability to pay gambling debt, which ultimately resulted in the death and murder of his own father?

Rape charge? hur hur Jordan Killed his father! Beat that Kobe!/ Win

Im just kidding, I dont realy care either way. I just wanted to bring up jordan killing his dad. I thought it would be fun.

It didnt disappoint.

Highschool? How did you do it?

BAN in 5,4,3..........

[I.R.Beast]

What's so amazing is that MJ walked away from the game twice. The first time he was at his peak, and missed a season and most of another. The second time he still had gas in the tank.

MJ had 7 years of ball hogging and 23+ shots per game in his atheletic Prime.... Kobe didnt have that.

I think he did... lol. I don't think anyone would say Kobe didn't get enough shots. Kobe shot whenever he wanted to. If he didn't shoot it, he wouldn't have shot it no matter who was on his team. If Kobe didn't shoot it, he was thinking THERE IS NO WAY I CAN MAKE THIS SHOT.

If MJ took the same shots as Kobe he still had more 40 points/ game, better FG%

[Dragonyeuw]
