Tom Brady leaves LeBron James off of his Mount Rushmore of GOATS and not just in favor of Mike :mjgrin:

shyt got serious

 

[Mister Terrific]

That's not what I asked. All that GOAT shyt is moot anyways because MJ is considered the GOAT by everybody except irrational Bron fans. Who do players say was THE BETTER PLAYER between Bron and Kobe?

Aura champion. Numbers don’t hold up.

Value Over Replacement Player (VORP): Of the top 250 highest VORP seasons, Kobe holds #84, #118, and #154. MJ dominates this stat with the 2 best 3 seasons of all time.
• ⁠Box Plus/Minus (BPM): Lebron has 5 of the top 10 best seasons, including the #1 spot. Kobe's best comes in at #155. Even lesser greats like Tmac, KG, and David Robinson all have seasons in the top 30.
• ⁠Win Shares per 48: Kareem had 3 of the top 5 greatest win share seasons of all time. Lesser greats like Chris Paul, Dirk, Wade, and Barkley managed to make the top 50. Kobe doesn't have a season in the top 200.
• ⁠True Shooting Percentage (TS%): This stat is dominated by bigs; however wing players such as Lebron, Harden, Curry, and Magic have all made the top 50. Kobe doesn't a season in the top 250.
• ⁠Player Efficiency Rating (PER): This stat is basically a box score aggregate that tends to favor bigs and volume scorers, so it's no surprise that Wilt and Jordan have 4 of the top 5 best seasons. Kobe Bryant's historic 2006 season comes in at #59.

These stats are cherry picked nonsense but I’ll play along. For example, you posted win shares per 48 because it has a negative outcome about Kobe you can post about when with regular win shares, Kobe is at 18 and above Magic, Steph, Jokic, Bird and Wade. Reggie Miller is above all of them at 17 which is highly questionable. Other stats here ignore that Shaq took eight years of Kobe’s youth where he could’ve posted ridiculous stats or that Kobe’s prime was wasted with terrible teams which obviously impacts plus minus. But the simplest question to ask here is why is it that none of those guys with better VORPs and better Win Shares were able to go to Three Finals in a row
