In the same mins, Jordan has more PTs/RBs/ASTs/BLKs/STLs but less TOs then Kobe

[guy]

Jordan played 41,010 mins and Kobe has played 41,102 mins, roughly same amount. Despite the fact that they've played about the same amount, Jordan has nearly 4,000 more points, 700 more rebounds, 400 more assists, 800 more steals, and 300 more blocks. Alot of people say that the main reason Kobe doesn't come anywhere near Jordan's stats despite playing just as much is cause of his reduced role coming out of HS and having to defer to Shaq. If thats the case, can someone explain why Kobe has 400 more turnovers then Jordan?

Like you said, a lot of those numbers are lower because Kobe came out of high school, and because of Shaq. They're also lower because Jordan was the better player, although I'm going to assume you knew that.

Kobe has and never will be a natural play maker, and that's what, IMO, has caused him to never reach his full potential. He's had moments or stretches of games where he's found a happy medium, but more often than not he's either shot too much, passed too much, or got his feelings hurt and just played passively. Kobe's turnover's are a result of making a surprisingly high number of bad decisions for a player of his caliber, and obviously aren't helped by his finger injuries. Kobe also has never had a Scottie Pippen type of player to run the offense and get other guys involved.

This Jordan dude must be good.

Ofcourse? Jordan was a much better talent...

[TheFrozenOne]

different era's...and pace.

Look at Oscar's Stats and minutes compared to Jordan....or Wilt's

Jordan in the modern era would be a 42%fg putting up 25 - 30PPG in his prime/modern era.

just think that in the 80's there were over 30 players who scored over 24PPG on 50%FG......

it has only been done 5times in the past 12 years.

Irrelevant in this case cause he would have more assists to go along with more turnovers.

A little bit.

He did suffer from Chronic "Good at basketball" Disease.

Currently :
Jordan > JWest > Kobe

In the future :
Jordan > JWest > Wade > Kobe

Nope. Someone just brought it up the other day and I thought it was an interesting observation due to many people's reasoning behind the huge difference in their stats so I thought I'd make a thread about it.

I think Kobe cheated on Vanessa with your mom. That would make sense for why you're always trying to bag on the guy.

Anyway, this isn't a surprise. Jordan was clearly the better player, as well as the guy who was given a starting spot immediately after being drafted. Kobe coming off the bench for the first couple seasons of his career didn't help him much.

You probably think Jacque Vaughn is better than Kobe too.

Your opinion is irrelevant.
