Is Kobe The Greatest Scorer EVER? 

Al Horford is a perfect 82 overall tbh

Hey I mean if he makes it, it’s a good shot

Not really

Kobe being able to hit these shots led to him shooting 45% in the last 4 mins of the finals and 46% in 4th quarter scoring in the playoffs. He also led the playoffs in 4th quarter scoring in all his title years and the year they lost vs the Celtics. There are barely players with a better efficiency in playoff clutch situations. Only MJ tops him He also played in the dead ball era. Its simply way easier getting to your spot, getting 'good shots' because players cant really get into your face etc.

what if he had the assist numbers too though

Worst most casual take of all time Kobe could take and make these shots, thats the difference, and because of his stature these are shots he had to take, if what you said was the case he'd average 21 but on 50% shooting, and nobody's arguing that that's the scoring numbers of the goat scorer. Bad take.

Exactly he was good enough to make up for it💀💀

exactly this and people say hes a ball hog while hes around top 30 all time in assists and a top 20-25 playmaker ever, i wouldnt call that a ball hog

4:17

There’s no aspect of the game that he’s the best at

@@chrilpy making terrible shots

@@chrilpyfootwork, midrange, scoring, clutch ability, etc

@@chrilpysame can go for so many other greats

big shout out

Wondering why you streamlined it to playoffs where Jordan was impeccable sure but listen....Kobe is the best scorer ever to grace the court. in 2003 he had 9 straight 4 point games tying Jordan's record(2 of those are 50 point games). 2007 He had 4 straight 50 point games(could have had 5 straight but he scored a measly 43 in the 5th game) Out scored an NBA Finals team who won 60 regular season games by him self through 3 quarters....2005-2006 Mavs. Kobe 62 - Mavs 61 He had an 81 Point game in the NBA nothing else needs to be said. You want to put up consistency, and efficiency, clutch and resilience against good defense? Lmao Kobe is literally the embodiment of that he was dropping those 40 point games in arguably the toughest defensive era's in NBA history the league average for ppg was around 95(it was 110 when Jordan was dropping his 40's), also playing through multiple injuries. 2006 he has had the highest ppg average since Jordan at 35 ppg, again this is still in the best defensive era in history. Mind you, all of this I'm telling you is also the time the league is at the lowest paced era in NBA history not lowest year, but that span of time from 2000-2007 are multiple years are in the top 10 lowest in history. Let's also look at what you said about Kobe taking hard shots.....which is true, but that is by design, Kobe took harder shots not because he couldn't get an easier shot....Kobe played mental games at all times, even off the court. Kobe would take the toughest shot he could because it would be in the mind of the defense that no matter what they did he was going to shoot it and chances are it was going to go in. What that does for the dude giving his heart on defense, is it puts doubt in their mind that "no matter what I do it's not really up to me, he has to fuck his own shot up" dudes were literally putting their entire hand in Kobe's face when he shot and they put their best defenders on Kobe. Shane Battier, Raja Bell, Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, Bruce Bowen, Tony Allen, Ruben Patterson, Ron Artest, AK47....bro I can literally name more than that because there is a lot of guys I'm forgetting this is just off the top of my head. You looking at the results and not accounting for who it's being scored on, if we wanted to just hand pick shit James Harden would be the best scorer in the modern era of NBA history that is documented....but he's not because he's playing the weakest defensive era in history with rules that won't even let dudes contest shots damn near. Kobe's only problem was his injury history, and his first two seasons that he basically sat on the bench for even though he was ready....that's why he's lower on all time scoring list, that and not being drafted to a poverty franchise at the time. Prime Kobe is the best score ever, eye test he passes, and he's did it in a defensive dominant era where the pace was slow, and he was doing a lot of this through injury. Playoffs be damned, Kobe willed bad teams to the playoffs and still won those 3 trips to the finals were not the type of teams we see today and he was winning vs some juggernauts in the finals and even on the way up to those finals Spurs, Suns, Mavs...the west was never a joke the whole time he played in the NBA. See how I did all that without ever talking down on Jordan? That's the difference between the people who know basketball and those who have a clear bias, make your case but you don't gotta talk about the negatives of a player to get your point across every player has some negatives.

@@MonstarCaveyou my friend .. COOKED

Mj played against man d…that kills your argument

Kobe way more versatile

✊

Nah cause he won 5 rings lmao neither of those guys had the same amount of playoff success

Really? Last time I checked, Paul Pierce and T Mac weren’t constantly praised by MJ.

But that’s not overall

who is then? genuinely curious

@@SplashbacklYou cant be the best scorer when you shoot 40%.

@@SplashbacklMichael Jordan obviously

He’s just joking

You took this video to heart huh?😭

Kd is a better scorer than bron

@@sir.muffiniii7011 =

@@sir.muffiniii7011no he’s not. Who has the all time scoring record?

@@bladefox5082 that’s because lebron has been playing forever. Would you say that Kareem or Malone are better scorers then Jordan? No. KD is just as efficient, can score on all 3 levels, has won more scoring titles and has a higher career and peak ppg

That would make Kobe worse Kd Is much taller than Kobe with very long arms too, his offense system works much better than what Kobe would be cause he's taller and harder to guard like kobe Kd is a very good shot creator and takes more difficult shots than what kobe is but since kd is 5 inches taller than kobe his shots look less contested and kd can shoot over defenders with no contest if kobe did this he would might brick or even airball if he isn't on a good game.

@@anewrookiefreshman8716 my starment wasn’t meant to be taking literally I meant my statement as to say if Kobe took quality shots he would’ve been a better player especially if he cut down his long 2 shot attempts I definitely c Kobe with better shot selections hovering around 47 to 49 percent from the field

@@anewrookiefreshman8716MJ took better shots than Kobe

wtf are u talking abt lol

Well he’s dead and time travel is impossible so continue dreaming

casual take

He played plumbers

Russell. Thurmond. Kerr. Embry. Reed. Jabbar. Bellamy. Some pretty good plumbers there.@@ry_an.
