And he still had better combined percentages from outside of 3 feet than Lebron
OK? and Kobe shoots 44% and LBJ 50% for his career lol

The difference between someone shooting 50% and 44% is like 2 missed shots, you nikkas act like it's 20

So would you say guys like Jerry Stackhouse and Brandon Jennings were close to Kobe in terms of efficiency?

This nikka dont like facts at all. kobe is closer to Russ, Harden, AI, Dame Lillard in efficiency than he is to MJ Wade LBJ Bird Magic etc...it is what it is tho..idk why he dont want accept that lol
The LONGEST paragraph in that whole post was literally two lines long.
You remedial as hell my latin brother.
Mediocre beyond 5 feet
Yall lebron stans are HILARIOUS
Keep ignoring the numbers and type long ass paragraphs about he scored 25 straight points against that team that one time
You were OWNED on this topic from the first time you posted it, everyone recognized, and you keep failing to admit it.
Lebron was FAR better than Kobe on everywhere on the floor where it mattered. When he was 15 feet from the hoop, he tended to get to the hoop and get a better shot, not shoot a contested low-percentage shot. Lebron was better from 15 feet because he WORKED from there for the better shot instead of just standing there and shooting a fadeaway.
Do you not remember this?
Do you even see the numbers you're posting? The vast majority of shots are taken from 0-3 feet, where Lebron dominates, or from 16-30 feet, where they're even. The two players only take 20-30% of their shots in the 3-16 foot range where Kobe has an advantage, and most of those are in the 3-10 foot range where the advantage is small.
Lebron beats Kobe 54% to 48% on twos AND 34% to 33% on threes.
But Kobe is the better scorer because he's got that least-used, low-efficiency area from 10-16 feet locked down.
0-3 feet: Lebron dominantly ahead, 73% to 63%
Even better, Lebron is good enough to take 35% of his shots there, while Kobe's only at 21%. So Lebron's getting the most shots where efficiency is the best.
Lebron picks up 4.6ppg over Kobe at this distance, 3.2ppg due to higher volume and 1.4ppg due to better shooting.
3-10 feet: Kobe slightly ahead, 45% to 43%
Both of them only take 12% of their shots from this range, so that 2% difference is basically meaningless.
Kobe gets an extra 0.1ppg over Lebron at his distance due to slightly better shooting.
10-16 feet: Kobe clearly ahead, 44% to 36%
This is where Kobe has the advantage...but it's fool's gold, because he takes 17% of his shots in this low-percentage range while Lebron only takes 10%.
So while Kobe's hitting 44% on 17% of his shots here, Lebron's doing much better by not taking nearly as many of these and getting close-in shots instead.
Kobe has an extra 1.5ppg over Lebron at this distance, 1.0ppg due to higher volume and 0.5ppg due to better shooting.
16-23 feet: Kobe barely ahead, 40% to 39%
28% of Kobe's shots, 22% of Bron's. Again, fool's gold for Kobe, because while he has a tiny advantage, it costs him FAR worse when he's dumb enough that his #1 zone is his least efficient zone.
Kobe gets an extra 1.0ppg over Lebron at this distance, 0.9ppg due to higher volume and 0.1ppg due to better shooting.
Three-pointers: Lebron barely ahead, 34% to 33%, but actually 51% to 49% on eFG% since threes are worth more
21.6% of Kobe's shots, 20.4% of Lebron's. (Lebron actually averaged more threes than Kobe until Kobe decided to shoot nothing but threes last year.)
Lebron gets an extra 0.1ppg over Kobe at this distance due to better efficiency, but it's mostly cancelled out by Kobe's slightly higher volume.
So Lebron gets 3.2ppg game over Kobe due to getting more shots at the rim, and 1.5ppg over Kobe due to better efficiency at the rim and on threes.
But Kobe picks up 1.9ppg over Lebron due to taking more low-% midrange jumpers, and gets an additional 0.7ppg due to better efficiency there.
Your entire brag about Kobe's better midrange shooting efficiency only buys him 0.7 extra points a game there.
On top of that, Lebron's four-year midrange peak (2010-2014) was better than any four-year midrange stretch in Kobe's entire career.

Were jerry stackhouse and Brandon Jennings averaging 28ppg over a damn near 15 year stretch?This is dumb, Kobes a career 45% and Mike is 49% Wade is 48% Magic averaged 18ppg or some shyt you can't really compare. Bird and Lebron are forwards and play clos with to the basket
How is Kobe closer to AI than Jordan?
What facts are you looking at? Post Achilles tear?
to make this easier for all of us. find the best highlights of Lebron and Kobe then we can compare
