Better shooter doesn't mean you shoot a higher percentage. MJ improved his shooting toward the later stages of his career. By your argument Shaq would be a better shooter than MJ! I've seen Kobe make fade away 3 pointers with his left hand. Michael drives to the basket better and gets easier baskets. Kobe can drive, though not as well, but he chooses to get his baskets outside and the degree of difficulty in his shots is higher. His ability to make difficult shots is also better than MJ.Kobe shot 41% in the Boston series. By comparison KG shot 43%, Pierce shot 43%. Kobe lead both teams in steals and lead the Lakers in assists. Anyone with the defensive scheme that Boston dished out on him would have been shooting poorly and that's where the rest of the team needs to step up.If what you say is true, how do you explain the scoring decline over the last 20 years? It has been because of the rules favoring defense, not because the players can't score. Average PPG in 1984 was 110.8. In 1994 it declined to 93.4!Your point about him being an all-star shows how little you know about bball. All-stars and MVPs are equally popularity contests as they are real awards.
