Yes. He made tons of them throughout his career. I've seen him make at least two threes on set shots too. Magic made them in his later years too actually.

Gotta imagine Payton, Dumars, DJ would be eating those all series :oldlol:. Kobe rarely gets defended by shorter players...it's suicide. Only those with height and length can do a good job on him (Prince, Posey etc).

Earvin is a good call, however the distinct shooting form of Larry indeed gave him an advantage on his jumpshot, t'was not often a need for him to fade backwards. In the words of the wise man Tom Heinsohn, Larry was the "master of the half-inch."

Why would he considering I've seen him take and make fadeaway3's, I believe left-handed from the corner in either the 4th quarter or OT. I'm thinking of that 65 point game vs Portland in particular. If you can make those in that situation then you can pretty much make anything.

You are stupid as hell. It's expected from a Rockets fan though so you're pardoned.
Kobe throws it off the backboard to himself in the playoffs in traffic + crunch time but yet couldn't hit a shot he can do routinely.

It was a rebound. Counts as a missed shot when you throw it off the backboard. My favorite one was the one he did in Utah. Down 8 I believe and he does that in the playoffs. He was incredible that game. Last year vs Houston and Yao was nice too. Should have been AND-1.

No it wasn't/doesn't :oldlol:
If you could purposely throw the ball off the backboard to get your own rebound, we'd have dudes getting 30+ rebound games just for the **** of it.

I'm not going to look through hundreds of game videos and then (assuming it's on DVD and not VHS) upload it to youtube. If I had to estimate, he did it a few times every season or so, during the second three-peat in particular; usually from the mid-post or FT line area or just beyond it after turning and facing.
I'll see if I can find one in games that are already on YT. There's no question he's taken and made them, though. I remember because I always thought it was funny that he'd even take them, since you don't have your legs under you and are shooting basically from above your head high up.

You cannot throw the board off the backboard and get a rebound for it when it's intentional. Holy shit, I thought you knew basketball....

I just said he did it a few (maybe a couple) of times each season during the second three peat in particular. Saying hundreds was hyperbole on my part, but due to simple probability, I might have to look at anywhere from 30-90 games to find one such instance. And you're talking about actually watching each offensive possession of those games looking for a specific kind of shot, which takes a ton of time.

I think it is impressive. Not the set shot itself, but someone making it in a game, especially this shot not being his trademark. It's just as impressive as if I saw Chris Paul dunk the ball in trafic or Steve Nash dunking it at all. Not that I haven't seen it coming from others, but it's just nice to see Paul/Nash doing it.
Kobe's arsenal taken into account, such a shot is impressive. Not the best shot in the world, but impressive. And it was quite funny as well. Absolutely thread-worthy.
There are tons of bad threads, but this isn't one of them.
On a sidenote, I can't understand why fans of a retired, great player have to talk about him all the time. This thread wasn't even a comparison. I'm sick and tired of reading about what a great player MJ was.
Thanks, we happen to know that.

technically its not supposed to be counted as a rebound. just bc a scorekeeper saw it as a missed shot then rebound and made shot doesnt make it right. they see things at game speed, we see it on replay. therefore it might not as been as obvious to the scorekeeper that he purposely threw it off the glass.

This is the dumbest **** ever. You can say that about 90% of the dunks done in the NBA. And unnecessary crossover moves. But we don't belittle players for doing these things do we? No, because we know it's part of the show.

Back to the other point, SameOlSucka got embarassed. Like I said, I didn't need to show the play by play to confirm it. It should be universally known that in the professional level(NBA), if you throw it off the backboard to yourself it counts as a missed shot and rebound.

I'm not surprised morons like SameOlSucka don't know that because he's a box score watcher for fantasy basketball purposes.

Section XI-Field Goal Attempt
A field goal attempt is a player's attempt to shoot the ball into his basket for a field goal. The act of shooting starts when, in the official's judgment, the player has started his shooting motion and continues until the shooting motion ceases and he returns to a normal floor position. It is not essential that the ball leave the shooter's hand. His arm(s) might be held so that he cannot actually make an attempt. The term is also used to include the flight of the ball until it becomes dead or is touched by a player. A tap during a jump ball or rebound is not considered a field goal attempt. However, anytime a live ball is in flight from the playing court, the goal, if made, shall count, even if time expires or the official's whistle sounds. The field goal will not be scored if time on the game clock expires before the ball leaves the player's hand.
straight out of the nba rulebook. what kobe did was not a field goal attempt. therefore there can't be a rebound. whether or not a stat keeper made a mistake on that game is irrelevant. understood?

I guess someone can't read the rules. What Kobe did is counted as a shot per the rule books even if there was no intent to score, it's called outsmarting the system. Let me ask you this, if Kobe made that shot by accident, it wouldn't have counted as a FG? Listen, you're not an NBA scorekeeper or announcer. You're just a poster on a forum that thinks they're bright DESPITE being shown proof that it's a FGA. Just give up. You're not winning this battle. Take the L and walk it out.

This is the dumbest **** ever. You can say that about 90% of the dunks done in the NBA. And unnecessary crossover moves. But we don't belittle players for doing these things do we? No, because we know it's part of the show.
Yet somehow Kobe get's singled out because of a fancy shot instead of a fancy dunk or crossover move. Simply incredible.
dude chill out...im a kobe fan...but as a kobe fan. see...this is what i hate about being called a kobe fan cuz ppl like you who get offended when u think ur fav player is being attacked. ive followed and loved kobes game since he entered the league but im allowed to poke some fun...gimme a break. now i remember y i dont come on this site often

I like how some random pre-season dunks deserve multiple threads and something as rare and cool as a set shot from 20 feet out doesn't. :oldlol: at people who think Kobe is a prick for doing this.
Also find it amusing that a guy who can recall the most random Jordan plays out of thin air, and has probably seen every youtube video of him is having a tough time producing a video of him "frequently" doing this.
I like how you posed for months as a "non-Kobe fan" while indirectly propping up Kobe and now you're going all out and just directly propping him up. What happened?

I guess someone can't read the rules. What Kobe did is counted as a shot per the rule books even if there was no intent to score, it's called outsmarting the system. Let me ask you this, if Kobe made that shot by accident, it wouldn't have counted as a FG? Listen, you're not an NBA scorekeeper or announcer. You're just a poster on a forum that thinks they're bright DESPITE being shown proof that it's a FGA. Just give up. You're not winning this battle. Take the L and walk it out.
your an idiot it obviously wasn't a field goal attempt. no one agrees with you. ban yourself again. if u pass the ball and it hits someone in the head and goes in its a field goal too. so ****ing what? if it doesnt go in, its not a field goal attempt.
If you don't know how difficult that shot is, it's not worth explaining why it's special. Get off your fat azz and attempt to do that in a game.
I would if I knew which part of the shot was special, is it because the ball was behind his head and he shot it? I'm not trying to hate on Kobe he is actually my favourite player, but I just don't see it.

I explained what I meant by frequently (2-3 times per season). lol @ you if you think that Jordan's never taken/made one of these shots. :oldlol: I recall amazing plays from memory because they stick with me, yeah. This sort of shot is nothing special, though, so all I remember is that he's done it, not what game it's from.

Why do people always come up with "Kobe stole this from..."?
He never claimed that he invented these shots. Thats evolution! Learn from the Greatest. i would love if i could copy even one of MJ's moves. And we would love to see more bigmen with moves of The Dream or McHale.

So what is it considered when an intended alley-oop pass goes in? It obviously wasn't a field goal attempt, so how are points assessed? Does he just gain points magically, without a change in his FGM/FGA numbers?

Well try and poke fun some other way. Poking fun by calling a player arrogant and a dick because he made a legitimate basketball move is as dumb as it get's.

Looks like he is continuing to improve, I'd prefer him over Farmar as the backup PG.
I love when Kobe gets a smaller defender on him, something very nice normally follows.

I've done a set shot multiple times in-game (not NBA, of course, but still in a competitive game), so I know it's not hard at all to do... but it is a jerk move. I know that I feel so much better than the defender when I do it....

You guys do realize that it's people like you that made it go this far? If not it would have been about two pages of people going "ha ha ha, funny" or "nice shot" then it would have fallen out of the first page. But no we have to have like 10 of the anti-laker justice brigade posters trip over each other trying to see who can act like they care the least about it and complain about why it's even here. That's of course right after they posted in a different thread about some camp fodder getting cut or some draft prospect on a different team without noticing the hypocrisy.

Anti-Lakers, I hope you realise that the more you post, the more Laker fans will respond to you. In turn, this will lead to this thread being bumped each and every time.
As for the shot itself, it was a nice skilled shot over a smaller defender.
