@fyfsportsdebates: Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are two of the greatest 1-on-1 scorers ever, but how did sports entertainment media trick fans into believing that taking bad, low-percentage mid-range jumpers over double teams is better than getting an efficient bucket at the rim? 🤔 Let’s look at the actual basketball math: • Contested Mid-Range vs. Rim Pressure: A contested mid-range fadeaway over two defenders is a ~40-43% shot (around 0.82 points per possession)—literally the exact shot every NBA defense begs you to take. • LeBron’s Rim Efficiency: LeBron James shoots 74% inside 3 feet for his career (nearly 1.50 points per possession) and holds a 58.9% career True Shooting Percentage—clearing both Jordan (56.9% TS) and Kobe (55.0% TS). • 5-on-5 Shot Creation: Instead of forcing a tough 1v1 jumper over a double team, LeBron collapses the paint to either finish at the rim or kick out to a wide-open shooter. Why do we punish LeBron for making the game look easy with high-percentage rim attacks while praising guys for taking bad shots?

Malcolm Hampton :

Good brother, this is an obsession. Wow

Andrew Applonie :

Um so confused lbj has had record for missed shot for a long time he’s over 15.5 k missed shots

user2194372316918 :

u can wrap it up in any package u want I watched all 3 careers I'm taking Mj 😁👍 Lebron is a great player but I'm taking the other 2 over him

Jacob😮‍💨 :

He shot 48.2% from 96-98 so false , and yes taking these shots all the time isn’t the “best offense” but being able to do more than rim running and open 3s like Bron in the playoffs is important ad defenses force you into rigger shots and Bron midrange through his career is Well below league average and his 3 has became decent but nothing good enough to carry his lack of an overall jumper in series like 08/10 Celtics , 07 Spurs , 15 Warriors , 09 Magic , 11 finals , etc , your versatility makes it harder for the defense to game plan against, they not forcing MJ to shoot jumpers like defenses have with Bron

Rickstack1 :

Bron has the most missed shots not Kobe

Keseanfr :

Bigbobthedon! :

Is that why Lebron only shoot 37% from midrange his entire career! Let’s not talk about midrange shooting

user135068673134 :

😏😏😏Yup still Jordan or Kobe! Cause your stats still chasing!🤷🏻🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

M416_EV0 :

lebron will pass so he the. says is the team he has sucks not him... and all does free throws shots missing [Laugh approved][Laugh approved][Laugh approved]

carlton "cee-bo" T. :

bg t :

willielancaster4 :

how has that work out for him thats right he has played longer but has less rings

YoWifeysfav :

I’ll take Kd over both

Audrey :

The way you break down basketball myths with actual math is seriously underrated. 🏀 Left a little something in your back channel earlier.

JayAye :

By that logic LeBron holds the all time turnover record, why is he playing point guard?

malak calle :

klutch plant lol

BigDawg Mr 6'8 :

Stop it bro

M416_EV0 :

because if u the dog of that team, ur taking it, and if u miss, u take the blame for the team...

Raymond Collins :

you are right right right right right

DEMOdan :

😂

Where are all the moderates? :

Another stupid narrative. Jordan was the best shooter on his team every season. There wasn’t a better option. LeBron couldn’t make midrange shots when left open. While Jordan was making them over double and triple teams. The “pass first” narrative is COMPLETE BS and you just backed that up. LeBron passed more because he wasn’t as confident in his ability to score from outside. And his outside FG% backs that up.

Introvert4Real901 :

You are triggering the hell out of these LeBron haters 😂😂 Keep it up

my name is Jeff :

those guys taking "bad shots" won more, so they must habe done something right.

Mansa Musa860 :

U do know Wizard’s MJ shot 82% on fadeaway shots though. 😂🤡

d_day830 :

I've heard it all now, LOL; You LeBron fans, come up with every argument or point of view that can be imagined. Look, the World has seen the Entire Career of Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron(up until this point). And they have Decided that Jordan Is the GOAT. Live with it. Because these arguments are getting more and more Desperate.
