Recently, I saw an interesting ** in the comment area, which is roughly about the comparison of Kobe Bryant's career shots with James:
50 shots: James 0, Kobe Bryant 1.
40 shots: James 0, Kobe Bryant 10.
30 shots: James 32, Kobe Bryant 109.
2-point shooting: James 554%, Kobe Bryant 479%
3-point shooting: James 346%, Kobe Bryant 329%
Shooting percentage: James 505%, Kobe Bryant 447%
Free throw percentage: James 735%, Kobe Bryant 837%
I believe that this set of data comparison must have been seen by friends before, and this is also a set of data comparison that many James Mi talks about. But as everyone knows, in fact, this kind of data comparison is really meaningless. Kobe Bryant and James are not the same type of players, and their playing styles are completely different, which also leads to the fact that the defensive level of the two is not at the same level.
Both James and Kobe Bryant have had extremely successful careers and are considered two of the best stars of the 21st century. There is no doubt that in terms of shooting efficiency, James did beat Kobe Bryant, but in terms of offensive threat, James is completely incomparable to Kobe. James is known for his versatility, and he has more options to better revitalize the team's offense. And Kobe Bryant is an innate super scorer, he has a comprehensive offensive skills, is a nightmare for countless opposing players, he only believes in himself at critical moments, which also makes him often face two or even three people in the bag, and the defensive pressure he faces is much higher than James.
And the shooting options of the two are also different, James's style of play is more based on breaking through the frame, which also allows him to gain a better shooting percentage. On the other hand, Kobe Bryant can be described as a master of eighteen kinds of martial arts, breakthrough is only one of his offensive methods, his back singles, mid-range shots, and top-of-the-line three-point shooting are all top-notch, which is obviously incomparable to James! There have been countless statistics among the players, who is the more offensive threat between James and Kobe, and most of the answers are Kobe, which is enough to explain everything!
Overall, James and Kobe Bryant are both great players, both have created their own eras, played a major role in the advancement of the NBA, and also have a pivotal position in the history of the league. However, the attributes and style of the two stars are different, and it is meaningless to simply compare this kind of hit rate. And James and Kobe Bryant are already sympathetic to each other on the court, and we have fantasized about the 23vs24 scene of the Finals countless times, but in the end it has not been realized, which is also a regret in our hearts. Maybe we should also acknowledge their greatness with each other and stop this meaningless comparison, don't you think?
