Kobe basically scores the same amount of points per shot as Jordan did.....was Jordan an efficient scorer?
Is this the same guy who wrote the article about Kobe being an efficienct scorer?

Good points until the last: Kobe rings without a dominant big man (or 2) - 0Butthurt Kobe fan?I am first and foremost a Laker fan. Remember, the Magic swept us last year in the regular season too. Look at what happened to them in the Finals.
You know how many rings Kobe had by the age of 25? Answer: 3.
How many has LBJ won at age 25*? Answer: 0
Bonus question: How many rings have Shaq won without a dominant guard? Answer: None.
Kobe won a ring as the man last year - so there goes your argument that he can't win without Shaq.
*He looks more like 35, but that's just me.
You got to take the good with the bad.
Check their eFG% and TS%.
Son, answer the question.
I dont know the answer to your question. I dont use that PPS stat - its heavily flawed. I use measurements like eFG% and TS% which are far more accurate.
Food for thought: Neither Smush Parker (Fisher), Brian Cook (Pau), nor Kwame Brown (Bynum) are donning the P&G anymore Phoenix Sonz fan. It ain't 2006 no more.
Either Lebron is not playing defense with the same effort as most players or he's protected. No other explanation.
Magic and Bird's rings without a hall of fame bigman (or two) = 0
That is why Jordan is held in such high regard. Although, while I think McHale was pretty good, I think Parish may have been a product of the system.
Magic, Bird and Jordan are all held in high regard.
Jordan played with two Hall of Famers too. Pippen (obviously), and I would bet Rodman will get in too. The Bulls didn't need an all-star center because their team defense was so dominant. They always had multiple players who played all-nba caliber defense. Magic had more dominant offensive players around him and Jordan had dominant defenders around him.
Pippen and Rodman are two the best best defenders in NBA history (along with Jordan.) Horace Grant was an all-defensive team member, Ron Harper and Bill Cartwright were also very good defenders. With Jordan, Pippen, Rodman/Grant the Bulls had three positions locked down with great individual defenders in addition to complementary players who could also defend. The Bulls team defense was stifling. Is it any wonder they were so good? You don't need an all-star center when you have that kind of individual and team defensive talent and you throw in a dominant scorer.
