33-year-old Kobe, 33-year-old James, and 33-year-old Jordan, the gap is clear at a glance

Some fans asked me to tell you who performed best at the age of 33, Kobe, James, and Jordan. For this question, let’s take a look at some data comparisons of these 33 years old. Maybe you have the answer in your mind.

33-year-old James

Let's look at James first! He just turned 33 at that time in 2018, but guess what? He was in full attendance for 82 regular season games, carrying the Cavaliers every game. The 27+8+9 data looks like a modifier is turned on. The playoffs are even more outrageous. They played 22 games for 42 minutes per game. In the finals, G1 scored 51 points against the Warriors. I am still excited to watch the replay.

33-year-old Kobe

Let's talk about Kobe, the 11-12 season is really heartbreaking. He fought with bandages on his fingers and fought for 58 games. After 38 minutes of playing time, he would have to be replaced by the coach. He scored 42 points in the last game against the Thunder. Later, he realized that his ankle was almost impossible to hold on, and Kobe could only do this kind of life-long playing style.

33-year-old Jordan

Jordan was directly awarded the title of God in the 1995-96 season. Not to mention the 72 wins at the age of 33, he can still steal the king by average 30 points per game, so he can prevent the opponent's All-Star defender from not being able to find North. The most annoying thing is that they are getting more and more energetic when they play in the playoffs. In the finals, they defended Payton to only average 18 points per game, and they still scored 30 points.

Directly throwing hard guys comparison:

- Attendance rate: James is fully attending 82 games vs. Jordan 82 games vs. Kobe 58 games (Achilles tendon warning)

- Data single: Jordan 30+6+4+2 vs. James 27+8+9 vs. Kobe 27+5+4

- Honor wall: Jordan's Grand Slam that year (Champion + MVP + Scoring King + Double First Team) vs. James double first team vs. Kobe double first team

- Hit rate: James 54% vs. Jordan 49% vs. Kobe 43%

To be honest, Jordan was simply a hexagon fighter that year. He averaged 30 points per game and still won 72 wins. He pushed the opponent's shooting percentage to 43% on the defensive end, and he could still maintain a 49% accuracy. Do you feel like a dimensionality reduction attack when you Pinpin this data? However, in terms of viewing, Kobe's back-to-back singles that year were really picturesque, and James's big hat made people excited. But in terms of dominance, Jordan was really defeated that season. He could sweep the league with Rodman and Harper. Now he thinks it’s ridiculous!
