Kobe Bryant did everything in his power to take his crew of Nash Howard Gasol and MWP to the playoffs, including coming out with a torn achilles to hit free throws that took the Lakers to the playoffs, where they got swept by the Spurs without Bryant. He was also voted to the All-NBA 1st Team and All-Defensive 1st team (which might be the most impressive stat of everything discussed, as defense is the first thing that goes when a player ages.) Jordan won the Regular season MVP and the Finals MVP. His Bulls won their 6th title and their second three peat with Jordan. Michael Jordan won pretty much every honor there was to be won. Loading embed tweet Individual and Team HonorsĪll three players had drastically different seasons for their teams in their year 34 season. Kobe Bryant playing with Howard and Gasol was bound to be low on the rebounds but still averaged a healthy 5.6 rebounds in the 2012-13 season, higher than his career average of 5.2 rebounds per game, which reflects how much heavy lifting he did on the team that was supposed to be a championship contender. In his 34 year season, Jordan averaged a smidge under his career average with 5.8 rebounds per game. Jordan averaged 6.2 rebounds per game for his career. His average goes up this season due to lack of big men on the Lakers roster, with 8.6 rebounds per game. Rebounds per Gameįor his career LeBron James averages 7.4 rebounds per game. Jordan’s numbers fell to 3.5 assists per game and Kobe Bryant, playing with Gasol, Nash and Howard showed he could defer with capable players around him with 6.1 Assists per game. However in their age 34 season LeBron keeps his numbers going with 8.1 assists per game. He played many years without a secondary star until Pau Gasol was brought in on a trade and played most of his career without a legitimate point guard on the team to smoothen the offense. For the career LeBron James has assist average of 8 assists per game better than Jordan’s 5.3 APG and Kobe’s 4.7 APG.ĭespite Kobe’s lower numbers than Jordan, many argue that Kobe was a better passer, but got stuck on very average teams that deflate his passing stats. ![]() LeBron is without doubt one of the greatest passers in the game and a much better passer than Kobe or Jordan. Once again career number standings prove accurate when it comes to age 34 season. It is crucial to note though that Lakers have basically shut shop for the season and LeBron has been given freedom to stat chase in he final 20 games, so might go past both Kobe and Jordan’s number in points at least. Kobe comes in second with an average of 27.3 points per game and LeBron comes is last by a whisker with 27.1 points per game. In their year 34 season, Jordan averaged 28.7 points per game that is the highest among the three but not by a lot.
