Kobe: One of the Worst 3-point Shooters Ever

[bwink23]

Kobe currently has 4,472 attempts in his career...good for 7th place on the All-time list for 3-point attempts.

Unfortunately, he shoots an anemic 33.7 FG% from downtown. There have been 18 players in NBA history to attempt 4,000 treys. Kobe is 16th out of 18 players in 3-point FG%. The only 2 guys in history worse than him are Antoine Walker and Baron Davis.

There have also been 57 players in NBA history to attempt 3,000 treys. Again, Kobe is sitting in the basement...he's in a 4-way tie for 47th best in 3-point FG%. His company is Latrell Sprewell, Rasheed Wallace, and Stephen Jackson.

lol? it's not like he takes open 3's all the time, he pretty much always takes contested threes, bailout 3s, and the dumbest shots ever at times, which is the reason for his low percentage, doesn't mean he's a terrible 3 point shooter, just questionable shot selection

Absolutely. Which is why he won two rings, two fmvps and an mvp without shaq!

Shut up bitch. Kobe has shot above 35% from 3pt land four times in 16 seasons, so quit with the excuses about his fingers. He wasn't doing shit from the three point line before all these finger arthritis nonsense excuses came around.

I don't know about that. Even back in the day, his 3pt shooting was always streaky. He did have some good years, and he had some bad years in his younger days, even when Shaq was on his team.

Jordan hardly took 3s. Kobe takes like 4 a game in his career. Jordan only average 1.6 attempts. Even then, Jordan did have some good years with the 3pt shot. Specifically 90 and 93.

Yeah he's ****ing Ray Allen out there. So he got streaky and set some record and now he's some great three point shooter. Kobe is an average three point shooter and always has been, period. He's taken a lot more three's than he should have and he's taken a lot of idiotic, ill-advised ones as I said before. The guy leads the league in "wtf was that!?" shot taking since Allen Iverson took his leave from the NBA.

[General]

You mad that Kobe is a better 3 point shooter than Jordan?:oldlol:

[bwink23]

thats cause he couldn't :oldlol:


You mean Jordan couldn't waste possessions shooting them like Kobe?? :lol

Sure he could have, but that would just be STUPID...

Looking at Kobe's numbers, he wasn't very good at all....

Jordan shoots over 37%FG in ALL GAMES COMBINED where he takes 3 or more attempts in a game. The fact that Jordan shoots almost as good as Kobe career wise while averaging less than 2 attempts a game speaks volumes.

He's streaky, but you're right. He's not a bad 3pt shooter like you would leave him open status. But he shouldn't have took so many 3s. Especially this year.

This applies with Gasol as well. Even Kobe knows it is true, that's why he wanted out of LA when he didn't have a all-star big next to him. How can you even deny it? You instead get butt hurt and post pictures like this.

Kobe is a great player like Iverson was, AI just didn't have the talent around him. Also, don't think NBA fans didn't notice Kobe go into super chuck mode against Orlando to secure the MVP. Gasol was just as good and Kobe padded stats against an inferior Orlando team.

Kobe has averaged 3.9 3pa's a game so essentially four during 16 seasons. Are we to believe that every single attempt taken was like this. "how great is our gawd" "smirk" If he takes four three pointers like that a game than he's a ****ing moron!

is that supposed to be a bad thing? that's actually a good thing! 34% isn't high?That's really high considering how many of them he takes. Also considering that he's heavily guarded when he takes those 3's. I think he's the only player to get doubled when taking a 3.

1. He usually shoots them off the dribble. If he got more threes off of other players being doubled, it would probably be higher.

2. He never takes threes off of screens. If you notice all the high percentage three point shooters like Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Peja, etc will get a few attempts off of screens to give them a little room. Kobe either likes to go off the dribble or try and just rise over the top of a player.

3. He uses 3's as a bail out shot when the shot clock goes down.

So, he's a good shooter from three he just takes the shot a bit wrecklessly. He isn't a very controlled three point shooter, that's why his percentage is at 34%.
But I would like to see that list of players who got doubled team at the triple line

[sundizz]

Honestly, 33% is pretty damn good I think considering his type of shots?

3.9 fgs, and i'd say 1 or 2 a game is with the shot clock winding down with someone defending him. If he shot threes and shot off screens, or wide open it'd easily be 35 to 37%? No?

[ShaqAttack3234]

Kobe extended his range and became a good 3 point shooter in the '02-'03 season and remained one through the '08-'09 season, he hasn't been a good 3 point shooter since due to the finger injuries and probably the knee injuries since your legs affect your perimeter shooter a lot. He can't get the same elevation either, but Kobe could clearly shoot 3s well from '03-'09. He's still a good mid-range shooter, though, which makes it difficult for me to understand why he still takes so many 3s, he's the best guard in the post by far, and an elite mid-range shooter. And he can draw fouls on jump shots better than anyone in the league, so he can score more than enough without 3s. Even though he's no longer very athletic and doesn't get fouled going to the basket much anymore, he still draws a good amount of fouls, and most are legit the way the game is called because defenders play him so tight, and he has such a good pump fake.


thats cause he couldn't :oldlol:

Actually, everything suggests that he could when he wanted to, at least from the '89-'90 season on, he shot a good percentage all 4 seasons he took a significant amount, 2 of them with the normal 3 point line.

[Remix]

i mean stats and percentages really mean everything in the world.

[L8k3r5]

Numbers don't mean shit. I've seen him hit shots 5 feet well behind the 3 point line over the years. In his prime he would just walk up and pull up from deep range. Even Rondo the so called "poor shooter" can shoot. You saw Rondo a few nights ago, just hitting 3's we don't normally see out of him. It's all in the player's mentality

[RRR3]

Many perimeter superstars of the past decade or so who jacked 3's posted similar percentages to Kobe. Look at prime T-Mac, Cleveland LeBron, prime Iverson, etc. None of them shot elite percentages in general (both T-Mac and Kobe shot elite from 3PT in 2002-03, but that's it). To be fair, there were guys like Paul Pierce and Vince Carter who jacked 3's but still shot close to 40%. Part of it is these guys were taking like 5 a game, many if not all of them contested and ill-advised shots. Doesn't mean they weren't good shooters. LeBron cut down on his dumb 3 attempts this season, and until he went in a shooting slump the last few months he was shooting about 40% from 3. It's more about shot selection in these cases, Kobe for most of his career was a very talented 3PT shooter, he just had horrible shot selection. His 3PT shot has kind of abandoned him in recent years, though.

Great post, I think its abandoned him, just due to age....not getting the same lift in the 4th quarter like he once was.....and a huge reason, like you said,...him never shooting 50% overall in a season is due to poor shot selection.

C) Because of Jordan fanboys

Kobe is a great 3 point shooter. At one point he hit 12 threes in one game including 9 in a row. His confidence gets the best of him sometimes and he forces bad shots. This is why his fg% and 3pt% isn't what it should be. He takes a few too many threes for my taste. A lot of them are the bail out variety. Numbers don't tell the whole story.

You can deny it if you want but I fimly believe that when he messed up that index finger on his shooting hand it really affected his shot, especialy from deep. He was able to change his form a little bit to compensate but it's still been an issue.

[no pun intended]

The thing about Kobe is that many overlook the fact that a majority of his shots come from bailout situations in which the Lakers can't make any plays for themselves so Kobe is depended on to take these shots, whether they are ill-advised threes or twos. This was strongly evident in the 2011-2012 season where the Lakers struggled to find an offense especially due to the retirement of Phil Jackson and his triangle offense. That is why Kobe has taken much more shots this season that most of his other seasons in his past years.

Jeez, they won't let it go....Kobe took 1336 shots, the most in the league, according to you and the rest of the excuse makers 1300 were bailouts.....the other 36 were great moves by Kobe and were all made....if Kobe wasn't forced to shoot all these bailout shots, he would shoot 90% from 3pt range:facepalm

Our offense was f**ked this year. The problem was exacerbated in the playoffs when Mike Brown had sessions taking extra time to bing the ball up the court in order to slow the game down. When I actually started keeping track of how many seconds were on the clock when Kobe touched the ball it was shocking. A lot of star player have that (bail out) responsibility but with Kobe it was a huge issue this year.

Who's the one exaggting here c0ck breath? I think it's you.

Everyone knows that Kobe will force bad shots but stat geeks refuse to aknowledge that stats don't always tell the whole story. I put more weight in the opinion of people that watch every Laker game than a bunch of people looking for an excuse to shit on Kobe's legacy.

It's damn near hilarious and psychotic at the same time isn't it ?? :lol :lol :lol

As if Kobe himself as nothing to do with the shots he takes. Why must some of these so-called "bail-outs" always be of the "3-point" variety??

The excuses this guy gets from his fanboys leads me to believe they are borderline HOMO.

I've seen a hell of alot of Kobe, and TONS of those "bail-outs" as you put it are forced by Kobe's own hand. Only Kobe feels the need to hoist long 3-pointers with 5 seconds left instead of attacking. How often do you see Kobe hanging around the 3-point line waiting for the ball?? ALL THE DAMN TIME

What is it with you? Anyone who would even think to say stupid bullshit like that has a serious f**king mental problem.

33.7% from 3 > 50% from 2


haters get mad.

[hennigplex]

remind me, what is MJ's 3pt FG pct?

Since you asked, it's .327, on 1.7 attempts per game over his entire career.

Kobe's is .337 which is marginally better, but he averages 4 attempts per game. And this past season, he averaged 5 attempts, 3.5 of which were bricks.

By the way, when Jordan had as many attempts as Kobe, such as during 95-96 and 96-97, he was at 40%.

Truth bomb.

95,96.97 short 3 point line when Jordan coincidentally shot the most 3's of his career.

% with the regular line: 29%

[comerb]

See lestern brick those two game winners yesterday?

you sound mad

[comerb]

Kobes fingers have really hurt his 3 pointer in the last few years.

Jordan career 3 point percentage with the real line: 29%

The difference was that Jordan rarely shot 3s, because he recognized he wasn't good at them.

[comerb]

thats cause he couldn't :oldlol:

neither can Kobe, but that doesn't stop him :roll: :roll: :roll:

the more u shoot the lower ur pct is dumbass.. 34 on 4 is nice amount better than 33 on 2

[White Mamba]

like kobe gives a shit about his stats, only LBJ cares about his stats.

[bwink23]

That's when they shortened the 3pt line.
Truth bomb.


Jordan averaged near 3 attempts twice in his career in the early 90's. He shot 35.2% and 37.6% during those years from the NORMAL LINE.

He shot 24/57 in all Finals games during his first 3-peat (42.1%FG) and over 38%FG in those 3 playoff runs while leading the Bulls in 3-pointers made. That was from the NORMAL LINE.

95,96.97 short 3 point line when Jordan coincidentally shot the most 3's of his career.

% with the regular line: 29%


FACTOID:

Jordan was 24/57 (42.1%FG) from 3, at 3.4 attempts a game in the NBA Finals during his first 3-peat.

Kobe was 11/30 ( 36.7%FG) at 2.1 attempts a game during his 3-peat in the NBA Finals.

Kobe in the REPEAT was 24/72 ( 33.3%FG ) from 3 at 6 attempts a game. That's alot of attempts for such a mediocre %.

SUCK ON THAT. :pimp:
