Kobe is now shooting under 40 percent on the season

[JT123]

:biggums: He's basically Allen Iverson minus the winning games part.

Under 40% is pretty bad.

[Magic 32]

39% vs 42%

1-5 vs 2-3

Pretty close.

We know Lebron is gonna improve once he gets used to his new teammates and new system. I don't think the same can be said for Kobe. Lin won't be able to carry the Lakers every night, and as soon as he starts missing a few shots Kobe is going to go back to shooting the Lakers into more loses.

[Beastmode88]

If lebron loses in the finals this year doesn't mean he'll be under 40 percent as well? :lol

Yeah because Kobe isn't playing with new teammates (who are considerably worse than Lebrons btw) and a new coach too

He's still leading the league in scoring though, so it doesn't matter.

At the end of the day the end justifies the means. Kobe has his team winning and he's leagues best scorer... Hard to find something to hate on

If Kobe were smart I might agree with you, but your boy is delusional. He still thinks he's the best player in the NBA, and as such will never stop trying to do the things he did when he was still in his prime. :facepalm
Kobe will honestly be lucky to shoot over 42% this season.

In Kobestan world, hurling a ball towards the basket IS scoring. So by that metric, Kobe >>>>>>>>>>>>> everything.

If you accept their side of this statistical dispute, all of a sudden everything makes sense and you can actually grasp that Kobe could be the best player ever.

Sadly, you don't get points when the shot carroms off the iron. But if you did... Oh Kobe...

Keep dreaming.

As I mentioned before, his body will break down before it gets better. It's not skill that Kobe is missing, it's his body not doing what he wants it to do.

He speaks of senseless things

So shouldn't others be shooting better with the teams they have? I'm not sure how this relates at all. Kobe's team isn't very good. The others are good teams with the exception of Melo.

That's because Kobe hasn't been an impact player in quite some time. Ibaka brings value on D while Kobe is one of the worst defensive players in the NBA. I'd even take Ibaka on offense too. At least he isn't a ball-stopper like Kirby. No contender would want current Kobe on their squad - he's a cancerous chucker that's unable to adapt his game to fit any system besides the triangle. A blackhole that gives you nothing but empty stats - Jerry Stackhouse level impact.

When I saw Kobe go down with the Achilles tear it was one of the saddest moments of my life. Thought he was done and he would slowly fade into irrelevance. Ish made me realize that Kobe will never be forgotten, even now he's the only thing his haters can think about. They don't have LeBron or Brian windhorst (LeBron ******ger) avatars, no, its Kobe or Henry abbot avatars. These people are actually more interested in what the player they hate is doing than the player they love. Kobe wil always have rent free places to stay here. And Kobe will remain relevant a while longer and I couldn't be happier.

a common thing i hear from kobe kids is, "id rather kobe take all those shots than anyone else". but why would they rather that? its obviously not because of winning so why else? fact is, kobe and his kids care about one thing only. point totals. forget winning, forget efficiency, forget unselfishness, forget smart basketball. its only about points scored.
