LeBron James

Scoring Ability Kobe Bryant has more career points than Michael Jordan, but Jordan was the better scorer between the two. Highlighted by his NBA record 10 scoring titles, Jordan also averaged 30.1 points per game. Let me also mention that Jordan’s scoring average is 5.1 points more than Bryant.

He would say, Oscar Robertson. Jordan has spoken highly of the fellow Hall of Famer in the past as he holds tremendous respect for him. Robertson put forth an incredible career that saw him earn 12 All-Star selections, an MVP award, an NBA title, nine All-NBA First Team nods, and two All-NBA Second Team selections.

Jalen Rose: “I believe Michael Jordan is the GOAT over LeBron James. Here are five categories I want everybody to always pay attention to: MVP, Finals MVP, scoring title, Defensive Player of the Year, and not only did your team win the championship, you won Finals MVP.”

Bird was a better 3-point shooter, free throw shooter and averaged more assists per game than Kobe and Bird was a forward! Bird, of course, averaged more rebounds, by far, but he was a forward and much taller than Kobe. Bird even averaged more steals.

Despite being Jordan’s teammate for nearly 10 NBA seasons, Pippen revealed his surprising take on the Jordan-James GOAT debate. Back in 2011, Scottie made a surprising pick for the GOAT debate. On ESPN’s Mike & Mike show, Pippen stated: “Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to play the game.

By any calculation, Jordan is the greatest scorer the league has ever seen. He won a record 10 scoring titles, and boasted a career average of 30.1 points per game, the most in NBA history. Jordan led the Bulls to six NBA titles, and was named finals MVP all six times.

Jordan has the all time Finals record for free throws in a quarter with nine and he still holds the highest ever scoring average in a Finals series with 41.0 ppg in 1993. he also holds the all-time Finals six game record of 246 points and 101 field goals made.

Michael Jordan Doesn’t Consider Himself As The GOAT, Bestows It To Someone Else. With his almost flawless resume and insane demeanor on the court, NBA fans couldn’t help but crown Michael Jordan as the Greatest Player of All-Time, a feat that LeBron James and other superstars would want to attain.

In the absence of live sports, TV events such as “The Last Dance,” ESPN’s documentary about the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls, have thrust historical players back into the limelight.

Scottie Pippen said Bryant was better than Jordan In an interview with Thuzio, Pippen said after sitting down and watching more videos of Bryant, he believes he is better than Jordan. “Kobe was a very intelligent guy and he believed in striving to be the best,” Pippen said.

If you look back at the 1986 NBA draft, there was a player who was said to have a great NBA career. Some people even said that he was better than Michael Jordan. That basketball player was Len Bias.

This is the detail of NBA games in which Kobe Bryant and Scottie Pippen played against each other, including head-to-head record, stats average, game highs and game-by-game data both in the Regular Season and Playoffs. Kobe Bryant has a 26-12 winning record over Scottie Pippen, including a 13-4 record in Playoffs.

LeBron James: Regular season stats. Jordan is superior in the scoring department, but James grabs rebounds and dishes out assists at a higher rate. While both players are known for tenacious defense on the wing, Jordan finished first in the league in steals three times in his career.

When you look at his stats and see, yes, he was an 18-time All-Star, he was a 15-time All-NBA player, tied with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but when Magic Johnson comes out and says, ‘Kobe Bryant is the best Laker of all time,’ that means better than him, and better than the guy Magic played with, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.”
