Scoring Titles: Kobe 2, Jordan 10

[raprap]

Meh.

[deja vu]

do people legit think jordan would have 10 scoring titles with he, melo, durant and kobe playing in the same era?

the 90s swignmen were ****ing terrible

Why not? It's not like any of these guys can guard MJ.

80% of the time he'd have bums guarding him.

Who cares about scoring titles?

[deja vu]

MJ played in a weak ass era.

Agree. Guys like Hakeem, Bird, Magic, Ewing, Robinson, Malone, Barkley, Isiah, Ewing, Shaq, Stockton, Clyde, Wilkins, Hill, Rodman, Payton would be BENCH PLAYERS if they play today.

Sure, if that's how you choose to remember it. It's not true, but it still hasn't kept Kobe stans from trying to pass it off as truth ever since. It wasn't like by simply sitting that game out Durant only had to go out and score 2 points to win the scoring title. He had the scoring title lead and Kobe would've needed something like 38 points in the last game to win the scoring title. Doable, sure, but it wasn't like it was a given.

How is it not true?
Kobe can score 38 points in his sleep if he's just gunning for it, c'mon.
Besides, he could've tried more in three or four games prior to that also

He just completely didn't give a **** about it, one of few people that will sacrifice any statistic or award for winning

Kobe with those 4 shots less has a Career Shooting Percentage of: 45%


Michael has a career Shooting Percentage of: 50%

Jordan's career eFG% is 51%. Kobe's is 49%. Not a huge difference like Jordan mythologists make it out to be.

MJ played in a weak ass era.

Bean played 4 seasons in the 90s and didn't do shit. He was a homeless man's James Harden at his absolute best. Dude didn't even win a single scoring title until AFTER the rule changes designed to increase perimeter scoring, 10 seasons after he was drafted.

True Story.

I think what makes it even more impressive is that MJ basically won 10 straight scoring titles when he played the majority of the season. So from 87-93 he won 7 straight, but only played 17 games in his comeback year in 95. Then continued and won 3 straight up until 98 when he retired again.

And he also led the league in playoff scoring 10 times as well, although this is a bit misleading since he only played 2 series during the first 2 years that he led the league in playoff scoring. But one of the years that he didnt lead the league in playoff scoring (1988), he played 6 more games than the person that did (Hakeem). And the 3 years that he didnt lead the playoffs in scoring he averaged 29.3ppg (rookie year), 36.3ppg and 31.5ppg.

Magic and Bird were doing their own thing in the 80's. Jordan wasn't a threat to these guys at that time(1984). It wasn't until Magic and Bird retired in the early 90's that Jordan started to win. You shouldn't have listed Bird and Magic, their exits from the league are the beginning of this weak era he's referring too. Bird and Magic certainly were not part of the weak era. It took Jordan 8 years to wait for Bird and Magic to either get out of their primes or catch AIDS before he won anything.

Jordan lifted his first championship off of Magic in '91 and Larry Legend called MJ God in disguise

sometimes you sacrifice shots for yourself to make team mates better

so the concept of passing does exist among Kobe fan boys?

do people legit think jordan would have 10 scoring titles with he, melo, durant and kobe playing in the same era?

the 90s swignmen were ****ing terrible

so what you're saying is that only swingmen can win scoring titles?

[funnystuff]

Jordan only made the finals 6/15 times. That is actually pretty shitty for someone who is considered GOAT by most.

Marketing in the 90s was very strong.

[Calabis]

kobe took like 5000 more three pointers in his career and jordan barely took any contested shots for the first half of his career

kobe and jordan were really only similar in their midrange shooting. other than that theyre 2 completely different offensive players.

jordan was always more of a dwyane wade. protected his fg% allot

kobe shoots double teamed from 40 feet and makes a good enough percentage to keep the defense honest. but it doesnt help his fg%



its all reletive to the type of scorer someone is. a guy like rick barry is considered the greatest offensively skilled player ever and even he shot only 44% fg's in his nba career

more difficult looks = lower percentage.. as long as you make up for it by drawing a ton of fouls and getting 9-10 free throws and hit enough threes to make it close to a true 50% output percentage... it balances out.. which is why kobe got away with 45% and was so successful


it amazes me how uneducated people are on this board. if yall need tutoring just send me a PM

U should quit posting.....this post is awful

[riseagainst]

Kobes the most overrated scorer ever

25 points on 45% shooting


there are literally 100's of players who could average that
