The Bet: Over or Under 40%?

[Unstoppabull]

This is a thread monitoring Kobe's FG percentage. As of now, after the 1-14 disaster, he's sitting at 36.7%.

Will Kobe shoot under or over 40% once this season's over? Place your bets here, bookmark this thread, and check back in a couple months.

I'm gonna go with under 40%.

40 exactly.

I don't think this thread is allowed.. I made one asking if Kobe would have a 50% game and got banned :ohwell:

Not dissing Kobe in anyway. But his recent antics have really gotten people wondering. At this point in his career, shooting above 50% in a season is really setting the bar too high. Maybe if he becomes the third option...

[chris02jammers]

under 40%

[Bless Mathews]

Under.

He will shoot around 44% and continue to live rent free in the LeBald families heads

Wasn't Lebron shooting 67% at a point last season or in 2012? That's ridiculous, I mean Kobe's older but come on 36% looks like he doesn't belong in the league anymore.

[pastis]

i think that kobe will have some good stretches this season with very good FG%.
so at the end of the season i see him at 44%

[Quickening]

Over or under 35% might be more realistic

[RoundMoundOfReb]

At some point either he will realize how much of a detriment to the team he's being and start shooting less so over.

[jrong]

Kobe must be not far from off being the best player at his position then. After all, James Harden shoots 39%, and somehow he's widely considered the best SG in the league.

What's remarkable is that the Rockets are still 8 - 1. (God help me, Harden could end up being MVP.)

In that respect, though, Harden is one up on Kobe. It takes an especially thick-headed approach to the game to not be able lead a team to success when you have Dwight Howard behind you.

If he doesn't sustain a significant injury, he will be above 40% at the end of the season.

The current sample size is 9 games, Kobe had a much worse 9-game shooting stretch from the 2012-13 season, and he shot 46% still

yes, the team is different etc, but slumps happen every season, especially for scorers that take a lot of shots.

[Unstoppabull]

My hopes still are't high. But I'm going to be generous and say he finishes off shooting between 40-43%.
