If it was so easy to score 100 in Wilts era how come he was the only brother to do it?

Well dude was obviously talented, but the league he played against was all mainly short, unathletic people. That night (according to team sources) the whole team was trying to get Wilt 100.

They literally ran plays and plays for him, to get him buckets. They passed up open shots to get him the ball.


Kobe on the other hand, he played against a league full of athletic, tall players, aided by modern science and video scouting. All while scoring a majority of his points as the primary ball handler out of an iso

What would having a 3 point line do for a center who scored 85% of his points from 7 feet out or less?
Absolutely nothing so Kobe has a tremendous advantage right there but he only hit 7 3's only scored 81 that's why Wilt is better in the entire history of the 3pt line nobody has hit 100 not MJ,Magic,Bird,Dr J or Kobe. All of these legends had a superior advantage over Wilt but his 100 stands.

Kobe was single covered all game by an old Jalen Rose. They sent no double at him at any point and the Raptors almost won the game.

Sam Mitchell is on record pointing out that the game plan was to stop everyone but Kobe and it almost worked.


Still one of the greatest performances ever but it would have been much less if the Raptors didn't play him the way they did

Wilt didn't have the 3 pt line Kobe made 7 threes. Advantage Wilt

Kobe had Jalen Rose trying to take him out:damn: and it still didn't work. Advantage Kobe

Wilt was the first to do it when the game was modernised. It's like saying the 2007 Patriots are better than the 72 dolphins because they played more games but forgetting the rules changes that did help.

Kobe had the 3pt advantage and only had 81

Wilt wins.
It's harder to make a 3 as a guard than to be a 7ft center who over powers everyone right under the basket .

:aicmon::youngsabo:

it actually takes less effort and wear and tear to shoot open threes

than it does to score down low while getting hammered

three point shooters rarely get fouled :francis:

its easier to be a guard than it is to be a center

thats why good centers are very rare finds
on average shorter players [6'0-6'8] have more success scoring than taller [6'9-7'3] ones

just facts:manny:
