50pts games between MJ and Kobe

[noob cake]

Why does Kobestan's even try? Pick a fight against another SG and perhaps Kobe can become the 2nd best SG ever.

Too bad, the universal basketball GOAT happened to take form as a SG. Poor Kobe.

alpha wolf and his 2 or 3 followers just continue to make kobe fans look worse and worse.

ITT: more people taking Alphawolf very, very seriously

Hence I said Kobe "stans" I never said a respectful laker/Kobe fan. I see it 10 time everyday from Kobe "stans" . They make irrational comments.

Kobe 25 games (9 against teams who made the playoffs)

MJ 39 games (32 against teams who made the playoffs)

Just one person on this site(AlphaWolf), but he says it in some form or fashion about 10 times a day

Kobe sacrificed his scoring because of Shaq and it's a pitty because once Shaq was out, Kobe was crazy.
No doubt in my mind Kobe would have much more than 39 50 pt games if he didn't play 8 years with Shaq. Too bad. Would've been cool to see some more 70 pt, 80 pt games....he was capable of doing it as well. He can be streaky and inconsistent with shooting when he catches fire...there's pretty much nothing he can't score. I'm positive Kobe would'e had like 3 80 pt games if he didn't spend his physical prime playing with Shaq.

I hope people realize that 50 is just an arbitrary number, just like all other basketball stat phenonem such as the triple double. What if someone got 30/15/8? would it be less impressive than a 10/10/10 game? Is 49 that much less than 50? What if kobe had more 49+ games and Jordan had more 50+ games?

Yes...and MJ also played most of his career in a completly differnt era when talking about defense and FG%...

This is the list of guards/small forwards who shot over 50% and had 20+ PPG during MJ's era(1985-1998).

Michael Jordan - 6 times
Chris Mullen - 6 times
Adrian Dantley - 4 times
Kiki Vandewedge - 4 times
Reggie Miller - 3 times
James Worthy - 3 times
Alex English - 3 times
Dale Ellis - 3 times
Magic Johnson - 2 times
Penny Hardaway - 2 times
Kevin Johnson - 2 times
Clyde Drexler - 2 times
Cedric Ceballos - 2 times
Mark Aguirre - 2 times
Gary Payton - once
Byron Scott - once
Rolando Blackman - once
Walter Davis - once
Jeff Hornacek - once
Otis Birdsong - once
Jeff Malone - once
George Gervin - once
Drazen Petrovic - once
Reggie Lewis - once
Derek Smith - once
Scottie Pippen - once



And here is the list of guards/small forwards who shot over 50% and had 20+ PPG during the post-Lockout era(2000-2010).

Lebron James - once
Chris Paul - once
Tony Parker - once
Monta Ellis - once
Shawn Marion - once


So in MJ's era it was done 56 times by 26 different players.

In the last 11 years, it has been done only 5 times by 5 different players.

here are the league averages for all the years MJ shot over 50%.

88' - 48%
89' - 47.7%
90' - 47.6%
91' - 47.4%
92' - 47.2%

And here are the league averages in the post-MJ era.

00' - 44.9%
01' - 44.3%
02' - 44.5%
03' - 44.2%
04' - 43.9%
05' - 44.7%
06' - 45.4%
07' - 45.8%
08' - 45.7%
09' - 45.9%
10' - 46.1%


so looking at this MJ's and Kobe's FG% is marginal at best.

also......TS% difference in both players is 1.7%

I'd never paid attention to this poster before (not intentionally), but he does have a point here. Still, MJ > Kobe, though.

The only thing is that I wouldn't trust that poster cause he lies by misleading. For example, I randomly picked Reggie Miller, he only shot 50% a couple of times in his career, so because of that he goes under the criteria he made up. He lies by misleading, the same way Griffmoney now tries to crow bar in that he's been watching the NBA since his 11, ever since I started calling him out that he said that he's 26 and has been watching since he was 20.

There were 84 50 point games from the 2000s, here's a link, can you name them.

Edit: I read wrong, I thought it was players who scored over 50 points. But none the lest, I wouldn't trust him.

[jstern]

This is the most important stats, cause it's more relative. Along with the opponent season record.

[KB2clutch]

jordan doesnt have a case if you want to compare scoring ability, call me when jordan comes close 81 points or 62 in three quarters
