The only differnce is Kobe was playing with the almost-unanimous league MVP and Francise is playing with a ROY candidate.
Please...we all love Francis here, but if you're even hinting that Francis will one day be even 4/5 as good as Kobe, then you need to stop smokin' it man. PS: How many threads have you started in the past few days???
No such thing as even unless both have the same exact numbers, if Kobe has a better percentage in that category then put his name there....
Wow...i knew Francis' asisst:turnover ratio was pretty bad but i didn't know that it was so pathetic that it's not even 2:1 Man...that's pretty sad for a point guard.
There is a big difference in age between the two players in their 4th seasons in the NBA. Francis is 26 while Kobe was 21 or 22. Also Kobe is an all-team defensive player while Francis's defense is poor.
