If you think 35% and 33% are nearly identical, then you'd also say that Bron's %'s from midrange are nearly identical to Kobe as well. And that destroys the argument that Kobe is a vastly superior midrange shooter.
Kobe isn't a chucker because he shoots 2% worse than LeBron from 3pt, Kobe is a chucker because he takes a ton of ill-advised, low-% shots when he should be feeding his elite teammates.
In 2002 Kobe was matched with prime Shaq and shooters yet still took 20 shots a game
In 2001 Kobe had those same teammates and took 22 shots a game
In 2003 Kobe had prime Shaq, Horry, Fisher, Fox, George.....yet he took TWENTY-FOUR shots a game
Same shyt happened 2008-2013 - Kobe took 20-23 shots every single year while Pau just got 12-13 shots
And they weren't just any shots. Kobe takes the greatest # of shots from midrange where he's least effective. Shoots just 40% from 16-23 and they're only worth 2, but he takes 27% of his shots from there. Shoots just 43% from 10-16 and takes another 17% of this shots from there. And with all those elite teammates (and never really having a PG on the team either), he still couldn't average over 6 assists/game even once in his career.
Taking nearly 10 shots a game from that inefficient 41% clip range when he could be feeding elite bigs and 3pt shooters instead is what makes him a chucker.
Compare that to Bron - every season from 2011-2021, when Bron had even one elite teammate, he never took 20 shots/game in any season. And the shots he did take were leaning into the highest-efficiency ones, the ones that help his team the most, rather than chucking up 40% two-pointers. Meanwhile he's averaging 7-8-9 assists/game every year setting up his teammates for high-% shots and open threes.
