    The official NBA statistics show a 50% increase in three point shots attempted from the years 1995-2014. Teams used to average 10 per game but as three pointers became more common the number skyrocketed to 22 per game. This remarkably high increase of three pointers per game almost directly correlates with Ray Allen's career. This fact clearly explains why Ray beat Reggie’s three point record with ease. Teams are shooting 3s way more often nowadays and it was basically inevitable that Ray would beat Reggie's record.…

    Kobe Bryant is 6’6 and 213 pounds, he has played the shooting guard position for the Los Angeles Lakers for his entire career, although at the beginning of his career when he was a freshmen and sophomore in the NBA the coaches of the Lakers didn’t know what position to put him at. His phenomenal ball handling skills and insane court vision could’ve very easily put him at the point guard position, but on the other spectrum his immense size and speed as well as extreme jumping ability could’ve very easily just as well put him at the small forward position. The Lakers made the perfect decision of putting Kobe right in the middle of both of those positions, putting him at the shooting guard position. Michael Jordan is 6’6 and 216 pounds only putting him three pounds heavier than Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan just like Kobe has been both adjusted between the point guard and the small forward position until he was settled at the shooting guard position because of his uncanny ability to put the ball inside of the basket. Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan have both been compared not only because of their grace in the game of basketball but also their grace in mid-air, because they are both very well known for their ability…

    In his freshman year, he started out averaging 13 points, five blocks, 12 rebounds. He improved to 22 points, three blocks, and 16 rebounds later in his college career. His points and rebounds improved while his blocks went down primarily because he was playing more minutes than when he was a freshman. These improved statistics no doubt made him a more desirable player when the NBA draft came about. If it weren’t for The One and Done Rule, many players might have simply disregarded college.…

I somewhat agree with Lebron being the best current day player, but he is nowhere near being considered the best ever over Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan should be considered the greatest player of all time because of the way he enhanced his teammates play, his stats/accomplishments can compare to any player, and he had very positive impact on the game.…
