better SHOOTER Lebron or Kobe.

[NZStreetBaller]

okay so im not talking about rings, or finals performances or rape accusations or team moving

Just shooting.

Now alot of people mention lebrons FG% against kobe but i still feel like kobe is the better shooter.

Kobe's one man contested turn around jumper > lebrons open mid range jumper.

Kobe

LeBron

- Better in the paint shooter

- better 3 point shooter


Kobe

- Better mid range




Overall its LeBron

Also consider mid range is the most inefficient shot in the court in terms of point per shot, so kobe's advantage is not even a strong one

[JT123]

Lebron obviously. Better field goal percentage and 3 point percentage. This isn't a fair question in all honesty. Kobe should be compared with someone closer to his class, like Iverson.

Lebron has turned himself into a good shooter, but kobe is still certainly a better shooter.

Kevin Durant

Kobe overall, LeBron has become a beast at threes though

[HOoopCityJones]

Lebron of course. He shoots above 50% on his Field Goals and makes sure to only shoot three 3's a game. So he's the better long range shooter too.

Last season:

Lebron 0.385 from 3

Kobe 0.188

Lebron is over 2 times the shooter Kobr is.

[Cold soul]

Kobe even 3 point shooting too.

Lebron takes no where near the amount of contested 3 point shots that kobe does though.

Yes lebron has better shot selection (which improves his FG%) but doesnt neccessarily mean hes the better shooter.

LAST SEASON!?!?!

I barely remember seeing kobe.

[NZStreetBaller]

you guys keep mentioning FG% its literally the easiest stat to pad. take the open shots. (yes lebron deserves props for taking open shots) but does it really make him the better shooter???

What a weak justification. No one in NBA history takes as many dumb contested shots as Kobe does. Does that make him the GOAT shooter?
