Slightly better 3 point percentage and way less fg%. You know 3 pointers aren't the only kind of shots right?
Like they said, the NBA shortened the 3 point shot in the 90s.
Jordans FG% is higher because hes a slasher. Kobe misses alot of shots, not because he cant shoot, but because he takes dumbass shots.

If you take an ass of shots, as a decent shooter you will make an ass of shots. That describes Kobe.

We really don't know what Jordan shot on jumpers because they didn't track shots by distance back then.How you figure Kobe is a better shooter than Jordan?
However, it would be very fair to guess that Jordan's shot chart looked much closer to LeBron or Wade than Kobe at least until after his second retirement. Kobe shot way more threes at a higher percentage and probably didn't get close to the amount of layups MJ had just because of playing style. That's why his FG% is a good bit higher and why most would consider Kobe the better shooter.
Not only that just watch the tape. MJ was a great and I mean GREAT mid range shooter but he didn't have the range Kobe does and Kobe has the great mid range as well.
