In the end, it looks like Bryant took lots more 3s in the regular season than Jordan. And in the regular season, he indeed shot better from that range than MJ (33.9 percent to 32.7 percent).
In playoff runs that didn't lead to the finals, Kobe shot a higher percent from 3-range than MJ.
In Jordan's best 3-point shooting season, he shot over 42 percent and Bryant's best was at 38 percent.
In their worst four seasons, Kobe shot a higher percent than Jordan.
In playoff runs that led to the NBA Finals, Jordan out-shot Bryant from 3-range.
In actual finals series, Kobe made 48/153 for 31.4 percent, and Jordan made 42/114 for 36.8 percent.
In finals where Jordan had a shorter 3-point line, he shot 32.6 percent (higher than Kobe's total either way). BUT IN finals with the long 3, Jordan SHOT EVEN BETTER AT AN AMAZING 40 percent!
Also, Jordan's 3-point mastery is known across the world. He recorded the NBA's most amazing and famous 3-point shooting display of all time when he hit six threes before halftime in game one of the 1992 Finals.
In conclusion, yes Bryant shot 1.2 percent better in the regular season over Jordan for his career, but Bryant took so many that he will forever have a career shooting clip of 45 percent. All those 3s never won extra titles, and, in fact, he shot way worse in his finals series.
When it counted the most and the title was on the line (best time to shoot 3s if needed), Michael Jordan showed that any which way you look at it, he is the most flawless player of all time and an unmatched clutch master who indeed earned the title in every way of GOAT!!!
It is an undebatable fact that Jordan was better at 3s than Bryant. Shooting tons of 3s at 33.9 percent will never win games, but the 3 is a weapon, when chosen and used correctly, that can make all the difference in the world! Thanks for the memories MJ.
