Knicks: 93 til infinity
I think you just explained a part of it yourself.
I don't think people (including you) take into account that the difficult / circus shots Kobe takes / makes is actually a part of his make up. It makes him dangerous at ALL TIMES because you never know when he might throw up a shot that ISN'T EVEN LOGICAL, it'll STILL GO IN, and cost you a Championship...
Until KD gets swarmed with triple and quadruple teams in the NBA finals by a defense the caliber of those 08 celtics, and STILL give them hell, I don't wanna hear nothing bout KD being a better scorer than Kobe.
People always talk about Kobe's lower than excellent shooting efficiency... Well I just explained how that's a part of who he is, taking wild shots that other people don't take, but the THREAT of him being able to make them opens things up for his teammates.
Just compare Lebron last year VS San Antonio, and Kobe in 2008 vs the celtics....
Kobe literally got Double / triple teamed EVERYTIME HE TOUCHED THE BALL.... Pop left Lebron Wide open purposely...
I know this thread aint about Lebron, but that just shows you the attention Kobe gets and its partially due to him taking wild shots (He's not a stat padder that isn't going to take a shot just so his % doesn't go down, ala LeFraud)...
And besides all that:

Kobe's resume of top scoring games shyts on everyone besides Chamberlin, and who cares about him.
People were throwing parades because LeFraud score 61, when Kobe scored 62 in 3 quarters.... Could've easily had 2 80 point games in his career, or at least 70.... Jordan doesn't even have one. I can argue Kobe is a better scorer than Jordan based off this alone.
Not much more to add tbh.
