MJ and Kobe’s stats if only we look closer with a little objectivity it would appear a little identical.
· Kobe’s tallied (5.3 rebounds, 4.6 assts and 25.0 pts career average) playoffs stats 6.1 boards, 5.3 assts and 31.9 points.
· While MJ (6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assts and 30.1 pts career average) have 33.4 points, 6.4 boards and 5.3 assts playoffs average.
There is indeed a little discrepancy in their tallies since MJ was the main man for his team while Kobe’s first two years were a development and the subsequent years, he was mere a subordinate of Shaq. MJ in his playing years was the focal point of the offense while Kobe was just the second option. MJ was never relegated as the 2nd option while Kobe waited as the no. 2 for a long time with Shaq at the helm. When you’re the main man the play of the team is at your mercy and will thus create multiplying effect on your statistics, naturally.
Comparative Statistics of Kobe:
With Shaq: 21.3pts 4.9rebounds 4.1assts
W/out Shaq: 29.4pts 5.7rebounds 5.3assts
MJ’s career: 30.1pts 6.2rebounds 5.3assts
Michael Jordan playing career is history while Kobe’s career is still in the process of making its own destiny and historical significance and who knows, the minute difference between their stats might tally or wipe out by the awesome demonstration of basketball aptitude that Kobe had been displaying so far.
