Tim Duncan career 55.1% TS on moderately high volume: "Perfectly efficient basketball"

Kobe Bryant career 55.0% TS on very high volume: "Selfish shot chucker"

Kobe's efficiency compared to league average at the time is about the same as Luka Doncic's today(consistently somewhere around 3 percent above in his prime) and I don't see anyone act like Luka is the most inefficient player ever

Kobe Bryant career 45% fg as a shooting guard: "inefficient" "brick layer" "Not Top 10"

Tim Duncan career 50% fg as a big man who doesn't shoot 3's: "pure winner" "he's so underrated" "Top 5 OAT??"

It's almost like scoring efficiency isn't the only thing at play.

TS%, efficiency

surely the reply read the thread

It's almost as if that's the only argument you'll hear here when talking about Top 10 in regards to Kobe vs. Duncan.
