What were a few of MJ's flaws that doesn't get spoken of?

First of all, I was talking about his efficiency shooting from the field. TS% takes into account free-throws and volume of three-point attempts.

Your point was that Jordan took too many shots from the field, so field-goal percentage is a direct reflection of a player's efficiency in terms of shooting the ball.

Jordan had five seasons with a field-goal percentage higher than .500% (with a high of .539%) while attempting more than 22.0 FGA/G.

Kobe, in comparison, never reached a .470 shooting percentage in a season.

But - if you do want to bring up TS%, it isn't really fair for you to compare Kobe's career TS% while discounting his final three years to Jordan's career TS% without discounting his years with the Washington Wizards - both being old and injured in those respective years.

Takeaway Jordan's Wizards years, his TS% is .580, while Kobe's is .550.

Jordan also had four seasons with a TS% better than .600 (while averaging 30+ PTS in each of those seasons), while Kobe reached a career high of .580 TS%.
