Can’t hate on it, Steph has a terrific case

Lebron ratings more point on much better performance (in more video games) than Kobe carries out in the RS, playoffs, and Finals, and MJ (Lebron passed him in scoring on less shots) took more shots with a generational whistle and much shorter profession. Lebron/Durant, then MJ. Kobe doesn’t warrant this.

The 3 biggest scorers of perpetuity r MJ,KD and Steph. And when KD passes MJ and Kobe in all time points in 2 years I can’t wait to hear the discourse

I’d state Kobe Is a much better scorer than MJ. Hear me out. Both of there video games was exceptionally comparable and both scored the ball extremely well and won that method. The primary distinction of why I’d change MJ with Lebron Is due to the fact that MJ didn’t have a 3 ball. That truth restricts him IMO

Truth be informed, you might take a look at it in a thousand various methods, and this list will just continue to grow as the years pass.

Wilt Chamberlain and Shaquille O’Neal were the most dominant scorers.

Michael Jordan was the most incredible and most clutch.

Kobe Bryant had the killer impulse and might get pails from all over the court.

Kevin Durant has the most enchanting dive shot and maybe the inmost bag.

Stephen Curry has an unrestricted variety.

LeBron James has one of the most points scored.

Larry Bird was the very first elite three-level shooter.

Dirk Nowitzki and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar established unblockable shots.

Tracy McGrady was the most innovative.

The video game of basketball is a lot more complicated than what we take a look at on the scoreboard.

At completion of the day, there will be as numerous rankings and viewpoints as there are fans.
