Paul Pierce v. Kobe Bryant career averages

Basically identical. Yet Kobe is considered one of the top 10 players of all time. The difference is Kobe tasted success early in his career and became a petulant jerk. Pierce, on the other hand, never had a great big man until this year, and has been nothing but clutch and composed all playoffs.
