Let's think about something:

Harden is coming off and MVP season and shooting awfully and not contributing to his team.

Kobe is coming off a shitload of serious injuries in his 20th season and not contributing to his team.

Who do you think should be criticized more in today's NBA? Who seems to have more pressure?

Trying to justify Kobe's shitty play/mentality?

The answer is obviously Harden but it's also pretty clear which one of them is more likely to turn it around and start contributing.

Kobe fans still think their guy is MVP caliber.

Kobe and Harden are both playing like shit. Harden is clearly the better player as of right now. I don't understand the first two posts.

Now answer the question.

Kobe isn't even playing basketball. He's just shotjacking like he's in his backyard. It's a team game and it's hilarious and sad at the same time to watch someone who can't shoot 3s launch them like he's Steph Curry.

Harden started last year slow too. But he ended up great. Kobe shoe 37% last year :roll:

Quiet op Kobe is trash now. Deal with it

well kobe still has alot to prove without HOF teammates (shaq,gasol,malone,etc) and without GOAT coach (phil). He needs to show he can at least play at an average star pace without a batman.

Is the goal post moving? Is this about performance or winning? The two aren't synonymous.

Can Lebron win without Wade??

Whats interesting is that his shot selection is great thus far. Hes taking open jumpers for the most part. Just hasn't been going down. He has no lift...

Man I hope Kobe can stay healthy this season, just for the entertainment factor of seeing his stans continue their daily meltdowns. :lol

Kobe


"Great shot selection"


:yaohappy:






I may be a huge LeBron fan but I don't say he's a "great FT shooter". This is equivalent to your statement.

It's obvious Kobe is gunning to pass Jordan in scoring before he retires.

edit: Don't know wtf I'm talking about, lol. He did that already.

My bad he did. Carry on. :(

I was thinking Jordan was ahead of Malone. Let me edit my post before I get a million replies, lol.
