Kobe's shot selection will always be held against him (to a certain degree, rightfully so), but his playmaking or willingness to pass shouldn't be questioned, IMO.

Read what PJax said about his playmaking ie. the 2001 postseason ... Dude went on a complete tear via running that Laker offense.

Which idiot created this meme? Kobe isn't 27th all time, that's Drexler. Kobe is 33rd. Other non PGs in front of him are Havlicek(28th) and Pippen(26th). Then you also have combo-guards that played a significant time of their careers at SG: Jerry West(25th), Norm Nixon(24th), Reggie Theus(23rd).

So who created this bullshit meme?

[MastaKilla]

Very nice

[dubeta]

Kobe also has the most missed shots in NBA history and isnt even the all time scoring leader so who cares? :confusedshrug:

Kobe Was A Very Skilled Passer For a 2 Guard But To Name Him Next To Magic and Bird As A Passer? :facepalm :rolleyes: Thats Insulting :no:

[stalkerforlife]

What'd he lead, 4 title teams in assists? Or was it all 5?

Wow ESPN does talk sheit:eek:

[Inactive]

The "Kobe doesn't pass" criticism has never been about his assist numbers, or his passing ability. He's very good at setting up his teammates when he wants to.

The problem is that he'll decide that he's going to take the shot on certain possessions, no matter what the defense does. He might have 10 assists in a game, but then he'll have a couple possessions in a row where he forces 20 foot fadeaways, instead of passing to an open shooter, or feeding a big in the post.

[NZStreetBaller]

Kobe Bryant is the greastest passer that ever lived if you watch all his games from debut untill now. The fact that people believe that Kobe was bad sickens me to my stomach. Lebron james cannot pass nearly anywhere near the GOAT passer of all time and our Holy God Kobe. Its clear through all my time spent watching jordan highlight videos that his purpose of his career was basically to attract us to the upcoming future GOAT player and GOAT passer. like I said if you finetooth comb all the career passes and assist of Kobe he actually has more then DOUBLE the amount of passes then John stockton ESPN has a way of feeding us incorrect information. example WILTS 100 point game.... The old oh there is no actual footage but it happened. there is proof of lord KOBES 81 point game which could've easily been 100 if he chose to. Going back to the passing... it really is the only reason that Kobes teammates scored so much. majority of SHAQs points should be credited to Kobes career statistics and although Shaq won FMVP 3 times. Kobe was the unsung hero by assisting shaq and handing him the mighty unstopple palm magnet type laser beam passing greatness. the most memorable SHAQ and KOBE highlight was KOBE feeding SHAQ that alleyoop. hell im sure that baboon was just told by the all intelligent KOBE just jump up and grab the time my oversized attention seeking clown and you shall score a point. and then the mighty KOBE with his excellent timing and court vision pin pointed that pass to perfection. At the end of the day. we will see alot of good passers and have seen alot of good passers but by comparison no one is even remotely close to on the level of the good looking,iron jawed,killer that is KOBE bryant. this site is basically designed to try and tune down his greatness for competition sake when it comes to passing but the truth is there and the facts are right here. I feel bad for those without the real insight and knowledge of was a great passer is but its okay because you can and will remain mislead misinformed and uneducated just like every other player who stepped onto the court with the mighty unstoppable lord. If you had one person on your team that you would want to make you look good you wouldnt have a chance but kobe statistically would be the only one who would actually have the capability perhaps to make you look like you can actually bucket that shit. If i could rewind the clock to kobes debut and relive his career just for all of you i would but unfortunately kobe is the only one i believe who has time travelling potential. But fortunately for us kobe is an unselfish guy and may one day pass us the ability to travel in time.

So there you have it golden proof that Kobe is not only underrated but actually the GOAT of passing and making his teamates better NOT Lechoke NOT Jordum ""KOBE BRYANT"" deal with it haters:rockon:

Those are all the guys in the 30,000 point club. So he has more assists than two centers, a power forward who had an all time great point guard running his offense, and Jordan who Kobe has already played 173 more games than.

how come Kobe's assist number doesnt come close with LeBron in his first 11 season...

[Breezy]

The problem isn't that Kobe doesn't pass. It's that he doesn't pass when he should. Which results in a lot of 30 foot fade aways over a triple team.

[kurple]

Terrible arguments everywhere......
honestly, why do you even bother to stay here. i sure as hell wondering that

cool stat, but pretty useless.

Came in here to post this.

And :facepalm at bringing up Bird and Magic. Neither is anywhere near 30k points, so of course they wouldn't be included.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Kobe's playmaking skills are rather underrated, he's very capable of feeding his teammates if he wants to. It's his shot selection that holds him back.

I love how angry this sounds. I just picture someone coming into a room filled with kids and demanding to know who broke a lamp or something.

[Lebronxrings]

so he takes the most shots, has most missed shots and get assists? So you telling me the ball is always in his hands until he wants to pad his assist totals? Ball hog.

Guys like Kobe and MJ are great scorers who are ALSO great passers. Guys like Big O and Lebron are great passers who are also great scorers. There is a difference. Kobe was always a guy in his career who could play and defend PG, SG, and SF. The most premium asset in bball in alpha dog scoring ability. Kobe knows this and plays to that to the hilt BUT he was always a great passer and could play the PG spot better than 95% of the guys in the NBA.

Guys like Westbrook, Rose, and Parker are basically small SG's or combo style guards anyway who dominate. Kobe would be like those guys but EVEN better I feel if he were a PG. But I think Big O or Bron at PG would be a bit better because they can dominate scoring, but have that true PG kind of mentality. But what Kobe does best is SCORE so it's only right he plays to that strength to the hilt.

and none of them including kobe are point guards. kobe had no more of an obligation to pass his entire career than a center or forward would. hes a shooting guard. i mean thats the only position where the word "SHOOTING" is part of his description

:lol

[LongLiveTheKing]

That sort of happens when you play that long

:lol
And as a SHOOTING guard, he should have at least shot over 46% in one of his 18 seasons and avg. well over 41% in his career in his 7 Finals appearances.

using arbitrary numbers as arguments, nice loss.

[HurricaneKid]

No discussion about the great "Kobe Assist"?

Thats when he airballs a shot and one of his many elite front court players gets the rebound and scores.

why?.... look at the league wide FG% the seasons Kobe played.

League wide FG% ( I'm guessing) for the 19 seasons he's been in the League has Hovered around 44% - 47% ( In the 80's and 90's it was 47 - 50%)

so we are expecting a prolific perimeter scorer Like Kobe to shoot 50% + FG% especially considering how much the 3pt shot is used in the modern era??:lol


- besides .2 - 4% FG difference means absolutely nothing when looking at the big picture.

example: player A shoots 10 shots all 2pters and hits 50% of his shots = 10pts

Player B shoots 10 shots all 3pters and hits 40% of his shots = 12pts:confusedshrug:

If a player shoots 20times the difference between 45% and 50% is only 1 shot...:hammerhead:


(sighs) Basketball Math.....for idiots.

No..I'm saying he shot at or above league wide FG% for 19 seasons

considering he was always his teams best crunchtime player and a Offensive Force/ best perimeter defender....

not sure how many other players in NBA History can make that claim.

I'll add another one...


DeAndre Jordan = 64% FG shooter

Michael Jordan = 49% FG% shooter

DeAndre Jordan = a better shooter


see Basketball Math always works as do stats

[Big#50]

Kobe had the ball in his hands 75% of the time. Lakers never had a traditional PG.
I don't think people say he never passed. I know of many who say he was a great playmaker and passer. I think people attack his shot selection and volume.
