Kobe creates most of his shots and faced double and triple teams. Klay is a spot up shooter playing against single coverage, plays with 2 other all stars and his team leads the league in assists.

Those 2 are not in the same conversation at all :comeon:
given how many of those shots he had no business taking and then missed badly, this isn't an argument that works in your favor.

Being the 3rd best SG of all time is still a respectable position to be in. You don't need to be a fakkit and hate on the 2nd best for that.

This man got Kobe all in his avi :mjlol:

Settle down breh
Its just the facts. If Kobe was making every other shot, people acted like he was on fire. If he made three shots in a row people were like :ooh:. He isn't really an example of a scorer that catches fire because his scoring style was not efficient.

I understand this is a hard reality for you to accept but Kobe just wasn't that kind of shooter. And yes I'm using past tense because he is gone and you need to get over it. He didn't have that next level autistic gear that Klay does.

In a 1 on 5 game, Kobe would be the choice but if you're playing 5 on 5 and you want someone who can black out, there's no way you take Kobe over Klay.

At his hottest, he was very efficient. I took a look at the games where Kobe scored 50+ in under 36 minutes. I really don't see how you can say that especially after watching all 4 of these games but the top 3 in particular.

55ppg on 61% shooting with an average time played of 33mpg.

That's pure fire.

Really, the hottest 50+ point game in under 3 quarters time was from Steph vs Orlando. Scored 51 on 74% shooting with only one FT made and attempted.
