Not at all. Bron travels more and commits more offensive fouls (that aren't called), and takes fewer heavily contested double and triple-teamed shots. Kobe's field goal percentage is what it is because he didn't give a fukk about efficiency over winning. Sometimes he would take that overboard, but he wouldn't avoid a last second of the quarter long three because that might hurt his FG%...
Anyone can make untested statements. The ability to do so is as probable as having an a$$hole

It means you’re a more efficient scorer, not necessarily a better scorer overall (volume has to be taken into account).

FG% isn’t correlated to “skill” necessarily, obviously.

But if you watch Lebron and don’t think he’s skilled you probably don’t understand the game.

Lebron is more skilled at finishing in traffic, 3pt shooting, and passing than Jordan. Jordan is more skilled at midrange jumpers and ballhandling :yeshrug:

:mjlol:

This skilled debate is along the lines of fat women hijacking the word thick
