Right now I still think Kobe is the more explosive scorer but Durant has nearly as many different ways as Kobe does to score and him being near 7'0 feet with that jumper makes it clear to see that he may one day surpass Kobe as a scorer. Durant is more selective as a shooter and takes pride in his shooting percentage, while Kobe thinks he can hit any shot from any angle on the court. I think if Kobe played like Bron and KD in trying to keep his FG percentage high he could have shot nearly 50 percent too.

Well then why didn't he? :mindblown: Bron and KD, while being mindful of their FG%, have had comparable ppgs to Kobe. What exactly is the benefit or purpose of shooting a lower percentage while scoring a similar amount of points? :dwillhuh:

Bron and KD are conscious of the shots they take while we all know Kobe isn't and never has been. And Bron isn't even taking 20 shots a game anymore while Kobe was taking well over 20 with 3 or 4 each night being nearly impossible for anyone else to think about.

So what's your point? I interepreted your original post to be saying that Kobe could be as efficient as Bron and KD but chose not to. My question is why would one choose to be less efficient? How does that help the team or make them superior to people with comparable output on greater efficiency?

kobe's jumper broke???



:dead:


only reason he would miss is because he takes some of the dumbest shots in the history of the league, but them shyts would still be on target


:noah:
Three people around him near the half court line he takes that shot and he makes it :banderas:

Shutup.

Kobe is just a ballhog who's legacy really got saved thanks to Shaq and Gasol,otherwise he would be Bernard King all over again real shyt.



I like all the disrespect based on facts in this post.
till you got to the Bernard king part.
as kobe wishes he was as good a shot every game.
with the actual bball iq that king had.

That's my point.


It's EASIER for Kevin Durant to score like he is when he's playing along somebody he has the ball more than and takes more shots than in Russell Westbrook in comparision to Kobe who played almost half his career in the exact OPPOSITE situation.......which skews his overall numbers.


Again, without Shaq, Kobe is a career 28.5 ppg scorer. With Shaq he's a career 21.8 ppg scorer. Those arent made up stats. Those are actual facts.


Overall, Kevin Durant is a very good scorer, however, I cannot make the statement with a straight face that a player who's averaged 35.4 ppg in a season is less of a scorer than someone who's current career best is 30.1 ppg.


Just doesnt compute:manny:

you really are not making any sense with this post.
you just made yourself look and sound stooped, with the shaq versus russ argument.
as russ and shaq are elite players.
if kobe was that much better than Durant.
he would have shot better and lead the league in scoring with shaq.
all that extra shyt you put into the argument was deflection because you are wrong as fukk.
plus, ftbs clowned the hell out of you.
when, you brought those moneyball face ass stats into discussion.
which have nuffin to do with the actual reality or complexion of the game, or argument.
which is Durant is a better scorer than kobe.

I don't see how you can ever put kobe over Durant as a scorer.
when, Durant is easily a higher bball iq based player, teammate and more efficient shooter and scorer, than kobe.

if you watched and knew basketball.
you could easily see that.

on top of the fact,...when last time kobe met Durant perfectly healthy.
if kobe was better, than Durant.
he would have beat the thunder in the off's.
instead of creating a coup of his entire team, lockerroom, and coach.

not to mention,...
kobe is never effective wholely as a ballplayer unless phil is present.
when, phil is not present kobe exposes more negatively.
that ruins his legacy and the argument of how good he is.
when compared to bron and kd.
when, kobe had lesser pedigree'd coaching and auxilliary part that were not attached to phil.
he failed horrifically.
while Durant with awful won't work up talent and wnba style coaching scott brooks.
is making it to the finals, and winning scoring titles with ease.
whereas kobe needs phil, no shaq, and pedigree'd auxiliary parts to win one scoring title.
plus, when kobe is with an equipment manager, mike brown.
the same equipment manager bron had, in brown.
with higher pedigree'd and actualized players who won titles.
kobe gets smashed on by said thunder team and Durant and exposed, as a team cancer.

kobe is all phil Jackson, and was never a dominant player till phil single-handidly aided him.

Kobe didnt win a scoring title until he no longer had Shaq on the team.

Again, to go from having a career average of 21.8 ppg over your 1st 8 seasons playing with Shaq, to averaging 28.5 ppg and winning 2 scoring titles in the next 10 seasons without him is a huge jump.


no it is not, and it is completely indicative that kobe is nowhere near the player/scorer Durant is.

Sorry, I dont have time to come back yet. I'm in another thread, but I'll be back.


I will say this though. I never said Kobe is a greater scorer than Wilt Chamberlain, have I? That's ridiculous. I dont take into account numbers from pre merger NBA, but Wilt would still been at least a 30-35 ppg scorer in the NBA for his career if he played in the modern NBA.


Good points about the Kevin Durant 40 points:obama:

you, young dudes really make me laugh with the wilt chamberlain bullshyt.

real talk,....
kobe needed shaq and phil.
when, fukkn' wilt would have murdered shaq, breh.
on top of the fact, if kobe played against wilt.
plus, kobe has no pull up j.
nor, does he have the basketball iq to beat a zone.
wilt would have kept, kobe shooting even worse than the ghostzone did.


art barr

yeah, kobe has no pull up j.
nor, does he have a high basketball iq.
if he did he would have succeeded against the ghostzone.

You dont know what you're talking about:camby:



I wasnt gonna respond to you, but fukk it:manny:


Kobe doesnt have a pull up jumper?:dead:


Kobe cant beat a zone? What were the Raptors running when Kobe dropped 81 on em?


It was interesting to hear Rose talk about the 1-2-2 zone, the fact that Bryant, a known trash talker, “didn’t say a word” as he single-handedly brought the Raptors to their knees and that Luke Walton scoring 20 would have been more embarrassing to the team than Kobe scoring 81. He’s got a point.

Watch the video of Jalen Rose talking about Kobe scored 81 points...................while they were running a zone.


Kobe haters:camby:

you talembout the raptor's d.
an unactualized defensive unit.
versus an actualized defensive unit in the celt's.

do you need me to up the youtube footage of kobe not knocking down pull up j's in the finals.
versus said ghostzone, against the celt's.


on top of the fact,..
if kobe had a pull up j.
he would have shot over forty eight to fifty one percent in his career, from the field.

he does not have a pull up jumper and the ghost zone d, easily exposed that.
on top of the facts, and simple numbers like field goal percentage.
not to mention,...
I used to stan, like and watched kobe Bryant way more than you, since kobe was in highschool, too.
you just a delusional stan, who has not accepted the facts.

He's not choosing to be inefficient. He just doesnt use selective judgment when it comes to his shot selection. And we all know KD and Bron do.
