and that's what scoring is... thats' the point of this thread :dwillhuh:
Nope i said shooting not scoring. Kobe is also a better shooter and ft shooter then Jordan but he certainly isnt a better scorer he is also a better shooter and ft shooter then Shaq but not a better scorer larry bird is a better shooter and ft shooter then Jordan but not a better scorer stop posting trash.

I can't wait to hear @Gil Scott-Heroin and his analytics crew come and say "b b b but he grabbed more rebounds and had more assists" while simultaneously knocking Westbrook for "stat-padding" even tho LeBrons career D-Rating per 100 possesions is 102 (107 this season) and Westbrooks is 105 (102 this season)
Don't tag me with this dumb ass shyt.

They won't hear you tho. Kobe has always been a better scorer than Lebron. Anyone who disputes that is a Kobe hater.

A lot people just like flip flopping. There was a time when Kobe was touted as being probably greater than MJ. And last season, folks were comparing Steph Curry to MJ. Notice how they change their tune this season.

So I would be wrong in saying he could score better from mid-range, could score better off the iso, could score better from the post-up, could score better off the dribble..


Is Brooke Lopez or Pau Gasol a better scorer than Shaq because they're better at mid-range shots and have more range or does Shaq sheer efficiency and ability to get to the paint, at will, supersede their versatility?

If Lebron is GOAT-tier at getting to the lane and finishing while being able to do it more consistently and efficiently while being doubled or tripled (While also being played for his drive for 99% of his career) and being a more efficient three point shooter...what does that mean?

Scoring Versatility doesn't correlate to better when you're as dominant as Lebron/Shaq/Hakeem.

Lebron can score just as many, or more, points on less attempts because he's all but impossible to guard and keep from the lane. And our people still using this "He can't post BS"? Lebron has been dominating from the post for like 4 years straight. He pretty much requires an instant double team now.

you're comparison is absurd.

Top 3 ppg in a season

Gasol: 20.8 / 20.4 / 19.0
Lopez: 20.7 / 20.6 / 20.4
Shaq: 29.7 / 29.3 / 29.3


My comparison is at least logical

Kobe: 35.4 / 31.6 / 30.0
LeBron: 31.4 / 30.0 / 29.7
