in the post hand check post hard foul era/ no dominate 7 foot rim protection era, Kobe still winds up settling for long jumpers more often than not. Even though it's easier now than ever to get to the basket. If Kobe played in the late 80s and early 90s he'd logically have even An even lower fg% by having even less opportunities for high % baskets. People like laimbeer and rodman basically clotheslining nikkas and mutumbos Robinsons and Hakeem's getting alltime highs in blocks for the nikkas who actually get past the perimeter d.
What Jordan did was more impressive considering it would've been easier to eat off 3s. Tough hard baskets and still averaged more than Kobe
