    Proof in point there's no way Kobe would be near a 50% shooting guard in jordans era.
    I don't even see how Kobe fans are even attempting to proof that Kobe can shoot equally as well as Jordan in the 90's, if not better. GOAT by definition is equal to 'Greatest Of All Time'

    Kobe would be shooting the same as MJ in that era.
    Because MJ was 40 years old.

    Prime MJ would probably average 55-56% in 02-03

    Because by the time kobe is 40, he'll be hovering around the 30% mark.

    But MJ, he was able to consistently achieve 50%+ FG as a guard, also getting the scoring title each time, and during times when hand checking was allowed, how come he was able to do what no other guards could do.

    Not to mention Jordan at the same age as kobe in 02/03 was 32/8/8 on 53.8% shooting. Getting close to shooting 10% better than Kobe

    Not wanting to make this into a Kobe vs MJ thread........I will stay on topic.

    Shooting 50 percent was the norm for guards back in that era. If you guys go back and look at the stats, there were guards shooting better than Jordan.

    It was the faster pace and man to man defense that allowed for these inflated stats amongst the players.

    Haven't you heard, Kobe is/would have been really good in any era. If he had played with Wilt, he would have been dropping 50 PPG and 10 RPG.
