Really? That’s your argument? LMFAO. A clip of them scoring similarly? You could do the same with MJ and a bum off the street with good enough editing. Kobe is the most notorious bad shot taker AND bad/non passer. That doesnt work in todays NBA and it only worked for Kobe because he played in the worst era in basketball that we have been alive to see. None of you could name the starting 5 of that Magic team

I mean get as mad as you want but Tatum, unlike BI, is not really a mid game artist. He averages almost 40% of his shots from three and 40% of his shots inside 10 feet, and most of those at the rim. Compare that to Kobe and Bi, both averaging over 50% of their shots from 10ft to inside the 3pt line.

BI has stated he models his game off KD and Kobe as well.

I don't think thats a terrible thing though. Kobe may be overrated, but he is still an all time great, and modeling off he and KD's game, with the benefit of today's understanding of efficiency and analytics isn't exactly the worst thing. Unlike Kobe, BI doesn't really frick too much with the super long twos that are now considered bad shots. BI has also worked to make sure he can be a good C&S three point player, even if he couldn't use it much last year due to personnel.

Dwight
Jameer Nelson
Hedo Turkelu or however you spell it

That’s 3 and I was like 12 at the time and know those at least.

But I agree, that era was terrible and Kobe had to get Pau Gasol and Ron Artest to come join him to win again

Nelson
Pietrus
Turkoglu
Lewis
Dwight

What do I win?

ETA: I looked it up after my guess. The starters in the playoffs were
Courtney Lee
Rafer Alston
Turkoglu
Lewis
Howard

JJ, Nelson, Pietrus were the first off the bench.
