If i told you that a 36 year old, in his 20th season would average

[Imtheman]

28 ppg this year (on pace). Would you believe me?

[NBAplayoffs2001]

come on cuzzz Karl Malone #longevity dropping 20+ ppg at 39 :pimp:

[Smook A.]

19th*

[miggyme1]

Partially true.. :applause:


I can see Kobe averaging these numbers with a good roster though.. needs help. I don't see any start (outside of LeBron) carrying this team to the playoffs in the West.


wtf? u think lebron is gonna carry the cavs to the playoffs??? lmao...yea its past my bedtime...the most stacked team in the league and lebrons carrying them.smh

[Smook A.]

Yup.. but lets be real.. if healthy Kobe can very well average these numbers in his 20th season. Let that sink in for a moment. 27ppg in his 20th season. :eek:
If he averages 27 next season then he'll be the GOAT of consistency

[miggyme1]

You ok ? Read what I said.. time for you to hit the hay b. :facepalm


hell no..lebron couldnt even carry the lakers to the playoffs..u crazy

[Imtheman]

You going to act like Kobe wasn't averaging 27-28 ppg when he won back 2 back in 09 & 10

[brandonislegend]

Considering Kobe is the only Laker other teams know is a threat...28ppg is impressive dude was hitting fadeaways over 2+ people in the third like nothing. Not everyone could do that.

[DonDadda59]

come on cuzzz Karl Malone #longevity dropping 20+ ppg at 39 :pimp:

And he actually had a positive impact on the Jazz's record. They were still winning and a playoff squad.

Bean's just out there chucking and bringing literally nothing else to the table. He was -30 tonight (worst on the team) in the +/- column.

those are amazing numbers, and represent probably kobe's greatest accomplishment

He WANTS to win, but he doesn't know the BEST way for them to win.

Certainly nothing to sneeze at, but who else is going to score on this garbage Lakers team? But props to Kobe. They aren't getting any wins though.

[raprap]

4 games.

[Imtheman]

4 games.
So? He's been averaging over 25 ppg his whole career. What makes you think he won't this year?

[Inferno]

**** the people hating on Kobe for taking too many shots and/or being inefficient. Who actually ****ing watched today's game?

[DonDadda59]

Malone had help. Kobe doesn't.

Get out of here with that ish son

Malone's 'help' was a 38 year old John Stockton and filler :lol

It took Kobe 28 shots to get 28 points and he had a -30 impact for the Lakers. In the 3 games that he's taken over 15 shots, LA has lost by an average of over 20 points. The only game that was competitive was the one against the Clippers where he took 15 shots (the same # as Jordan Hill, who has been LA's best player the past few games).

He's also a massive defensive liability at this point. He's literally doing nothing but chucking his way to Lakers blowout losses at this point. Doesn't rebound, doesn't get assists, plays no defense.

But if he had a 38 year old John Stockton...


:oldlol:

These kids don't understand Kobe's drive man:facepalm

Only pu$$Y's like Lebron, Durant, and Duncan would defer when their shot isn't falling or when one of their teammates has the the hot hand. Kobe is an alpha. He does what he does.:applause:

And Kobe's the one saying he's jealous of Tim.

Wonder what Tim's thoughts are on Kobe's situation. Do you think he'd be up for switching? I mean, that extra money is good, but is it worth holding back tears on the bench?

[Mr Feeny]

And Kobe's the one saying he's jealous of Tim.

Err...that was sarcasm. Nobody with a fully functioning brain would consider Kobe's decisions, whether it be alienating teammates off the court, or hero ball on the court, to be smart.

Nobody except Magic 32, I'm kobe, coldsoul, 20four, 24 coin (who I'm convinced, are all the same person )

[raprap]

So? He's been averaging over 25 ppg his whole career. What makes you think he won't this year?
Stop overreacting.

[nnn123]

Umm...yeah except we are 4 games into the season and he is not averaging 28 ppg this year.

My prediction is he has one of his "patented" Kobe months in November - averages 30 ppg, exerts every last bit of energy that he has to prove a point - and then pops his knee on Dec 2

[pastis]

Durant easily could take this team to the playoffs

dirk also. same age,but im pretty sure that dirk and his spirit would make lakers better than with kobe

[bdreason]

He can't keep this pace.

[bdreason]

Not in the West he couldn't.

[Flush]

On a serious note: no current NBA player could take this team to the Playoffs.

It's horrible. And Byron Scott without an elite PG should not be an NBA coach.

[jstern]

While Kobe scored 28 points in his last game, he's averaging 24.75 PPG for the season. He's also shooting around 40 and 41%.

But this is an example of why Kobe stans make people not cheer for Kobe. He could miss ten shots in a row, hit a nice fade away, and the reaction is "OMG, THE GOAT, WOW." And just exaggerate what he's done. Not efficient, but dominant. Here 24.75 PPG becomes 28 PPG in a stans eyes. Everything else becomes irrelevant. Defense, turnovers, FG%, not passing to the wide open man is all irrelevant, lets all celebrate that he's averaging 28ppg*

[Keno]

Any star can average 28ppg when disregarding FG% and winning.

pretty much this. not even close to impressive.

[nnn123]

Way to stay optimistic.. wishing for a career ending injury to a 1st ballot HOF. Jordan stans are pathetic. :facepalm


Lol who said I'm wishing for a career ending injury you f@ggot, I've been in awe watching Kobe play the way he has the last few games.

I'm just saying it's not good for a 36 year old coming off an achilles injury to overexert. It's not that hard to predict what is coming

[pauk]

I would say 24.8 ppg on ~22 FGA and ~40% FG is very much extremly believable........ even at the age of 100.....

[AintNoSunshine]

then I know he must have chucked his way there, and his team must have sucked

[SpanishACB]

Considering Kobe is the only Laker other teams know is a threat...28ppg is impressive dude was hitting fadeaways over 2+ people in the third like nothing. Not everyone could do that.

like nothing?

he's missing more than he's making

[ArbitraryWater]

Hard to compare a big to a small.. also Malone was practically spoon fed points by Stockton.

It's really not.. You just compare the impact of each individual.

[Psileas]

Hard to compare a big to a small.. also Malone was practically spoon fed points by Stockton.

Which, therefore, makes Stockton's playmaking at least equally impressive to Kobe's scoring. :applause:

[russwest0]

The hate Kobe gets by the media and some fans (mostly media sheep) is unreal.

The guy is in his 20th season and playing on two bum knees and he's still better than 95% of the league.

:lol ..bringing up Karl Malone and impact??

Dude played on a great team for 20 years with arguably the greatest PG in the History of the NBA....

and his career is defined by countless moments of putting up empty stats and disappearing in 4th quarters and crunchtime....

seriously....people used to harp on Kevin Garnett for turning into a ghost in Minnesota...Karl Malone was 100% worse and he played on great teams nearly his whole career...




Keep shooting Kobe......Jordan is next....then the Mailman.....

Wrong.

WRONG.

Kobe on the court drtg: 132.7

yup "this year"....

hasn't played a real NBA game in over a year..

ruptured his Achilles...

19th season at 36 years old...

Hasn't played real games with most of his teammates before...




yes..he has played bad in the 4th in the past 2 games....but not for lack of trying.




His shot is falling short....but he is still able to get his shot off clean against PHX , CS and LAC...

so ask ourselves why is he struggling in the 4th.....

#1.Game slippage from not playing last season...he is inconsistent right now....a tale tale sign of not used to playing a real NBA game and trying to get the feel back

#2. Fatigue....he is still getting used to playing a full NBA game....at 36 years old the body may fatigue faster and recover slower



reasons to believe he will improve...

#1. He looks the same physically as he always has....he keeps in shape year round and even though he was injured he still looks like he kept in amazing cardio/physical shape.

#2. He works consistently on his shot....his shot is just a little short right now....he needs to understand why...most likely he can fix his shot through repetition...

Are you arguing that Bean is a good defensive player with a positive impact on the Lakers' D? Forget the stats (which speak volumes mind you)... let's use the eye test. When Ariza was making him stumble and fall all over the place with simple jab steps, were you thinking 'wow, Kobe still got it!'?

Oh No Kooobe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNy_Idv4oxs) :(

Im not saying he's a good defensive player. But he's still solid enough to get the CP3 assignment, he's certainly not a liability.

I'm sorry you expect lock down defense, 55% shooting and a 4-0 record from kobe. I didn't know you thought so highly of him.

Fact is, he's still a top 10 player. You look like a fool hating at this point, he's fresh off two surgeries making thESE young players look like fools. Wait till he gets fully in groove lol

in what realm is 25ppg on 41% shooting WITH NO DEFENSE "impressive"? sure kobe scoring 25 a night is a great feat for him - but basketball is a team sport. his inefficient scoring, lack of playmaking and bad defense has been one of the lakers' BIGGEST problems.

Some of you are idiots. Aj is clearly not a Kobe Stan and he defends LeBron plenty. He was just using LeBron as a point of reference: it's still early

[#number6ix#]

I'm impressed... He may not be producing wins but it sure is entertaining that 3rd quarter last night was sweet

[Dro]

Huh? Great? You're tating him on a curve them, right?

6-17, 11-25, 6-15, 12-28.... "Great" stans crack me up :oldlol:


And if those stats by Dadda are accurate, holy shit :eek:
So I'm a Kobe stan right.........anyone on this site can tell you that would be a joke.....:rolleyes:

Insecure Lebron "stans" crack me up. Not allowed to compliment any other player in the NBA besides Lebron......And don't dare compliment one of his contemporaries...

I don't give a sh*t about his FG% in this context. He's 36 years old coming off of 2 serious, possibly career ending injuries. Everybody who claims they are an NBA fan should have respect for that. He's able to still get his shot off cleanly, he's just missing, partly because of fatigue. Nobody out there still can stop him and he's done a good job imo of getting his teammates involved. When he gets tired of seeing them fumble the ball out of bounds like idiots, he's tried to take over a few times, so what...And he's still very athletic for his age...Yes, I think he's played great considering the circumstances........You're just too busy trimming Lebron's pubic hair to notice...

Are you completely drunk or do you just not understand the first thing about basketball?
:biggums:

What the heck am I am reading? This may be one of the worst posts I've ever seen on here and that's saying something.
Why should a man being paid 24 million dollars a year take a paycut bc.....He can average 25 PPG on 41%fg

FEK ME. JUST FEK ME.:facepalm
:facepalm

Dude got offered 2 years and $48M. Why is he going to give that up? Are you seriously blaming him taking the money? Still, the Lakers went after Melo and it didn't work out obviously. Here, Kobe himself weighs in on his salary:

Kobe taking a paycut would help with what exactly? As I said, they tried going after Melo, but failed. Even the addition of Melo wouldn't have done a lot of good. The whole Laker squad sucks ass and their lottery pick is out for the season.


You realize that it's you who brought up the stats and then dismissed them when the other posters turned them around on you on the basis that it's only a four game sample.

You brought up stats and then said the stats don't mean as much because it's a four game sample.
This is genius right here.
I didn't "dismiss" the stats, you stupid turd. He just got back to playing basketball after 2 years. I'm saying that a 4 game sample is too small to gauge his efficiency. He's going to improve him efficiency as the season progresses. LeBron will average 27 this season, but is his shooting % gonna be at 42%? Likewise, Kobe is going to average 25 PPG and his efficiency will go up.

You should stick to BTE and rep whoring, kid.
