Kobe shoots better.


[/ QUOTE ]

Kobe 2005-2006: 48.2% 2pts 34.7% 3pts
Wade 2005-2006: 51.3% 2pts 17.1% 3pts

Kobe shoots a ton more 3s and is the focus of every defense he plays against, of course his overall shooting percentage will be lower. Wade is very efficient from about 18 ft in right now. As he expands his range he may become a better shooter than Kobe, but right now he's not.

Effective FG% weighs the shooting percentage to account for the fact that a 3 is worth 50% more than a 2.

eFG% 2005-2006: Wade 49.9%, Kobe 49.1%

eFG% Career: Wade 48.8%, Kobe 48.2%
