If Kobe took less 3 in his career. I believe he would've been a solid 50% shooter overall. The closet ever to MJ (MJ and Kobe Jersey are the only jersey i have). Only difference was their shot selections. The league today is lucky they didn't see a prime Mamba in their game. No doubt Kobe would've ave close to 40 ppg and score 100 pts and get to the line as much as Harden.
Kobe and MJ’s PPS was basically the same. FG% is just a deceptive stat. If somebody shoots 3 2PT shots and makes all of them, that’s 6 points on 100% FG%; and if somebody shoots 3 3PT shots and only makes 2 of them, that’s still 6 points, but only on 66% from the field. There is no difference, both of their pps is 2.
@lucidhoops humanly impossible shots from those elbows, nobody MASTERED it like kobe. Any chance you can give us any pivots/up and unders? His footwork has ALWAYS been impeccable since 98
