Though Kobe Bryant has more points than Jordan and might be better overall offensive weapon on the court, being a much better pure shooter, MJ isn't the greatest player ever for no reason.

Jordan has 10 scoring titles to Kobe's two. Jordan's field goal percentage is just under 50 percent at .497, while Kobe is at an average .447. At their best, Michael was clearly the superior offensive (and defensive) player.

From the start, Michael proved to be an amazing talent, averaging 28.2 points per game in his first season and setting a postseason record of 63 points in a game against the legendary 1986 Boston Celtics in his sophomore campaign.

He also holds five of the ten highest scoring postseason games in the league. Kobe's highest night in the postseason, 50 points against the Phoenix Suns, is Jordan's 8th highest scoring game in the postseason.

When it comes to the shooting guard position, there is only one player who could take this crown.
