#4 Total performance stats

Best of NBA

Both Jordan and Kobe had long and successful careers, scoring tons of points, giving assists, getting rebounds, blocks and steals. Whenever they were present on the court, the opposition teams were feared of their incredible attacking form as well as their defensive rigidity.

While Jordan played for only 15 seasons in the NBA, Kobe played for straight 20 seasons, giving him lead in the total stats. Jordan's best came for the Chicago Bulls and Kobe was the face of The Los Angeles Lakers for 20 years before retiring in 2016. One can make an argument about Jordan not retiring and playing with the Bulls and he would have even better stats, but for now, these are the total stats.
