Why is a guy who's shooting 33% this season...

[JT123]

taking 22 shots? :biggums: :facepalm
And don't tell me he doesn't have anyone to pass to, cause Clarkson has been the Lakers best player by far this season. Tonight for example

Kobe - 18 points on 6-22
Clarkson - 19 points on 8-14

Do Laker fans not see what's wrong with this picture? I feel like I'm watching the 2004 Finals all over again! :rant

Probably because he doesn't collude and play with 2 fellow top 10 players at all times.

[TheBigVeto]

He's low IQ dude. Always was, and always will be.

[Akrazotile]

We need an updated version of one of those graphs that charts where each player is in terms of volume and efficiency. Kobe's placement on those is always pretty hilarious. This year it might break the comedy scale.

[Mr. Jabbar]

Dude. Stop it. Kobes era is over, Its Currys era now.

[Magic 32]

Boy do Lebron stans care about Kobe.

In their head 24/7

I guess thinking about next June is too scary right now.

Example?

And TS% vs eFG%? I'd be willing to download some data and make a scatter plot :)

So 46% is good for a big man?

Why don't you look at Pau's and Shaq's road stats...

Here's Kobe's

His role on the team is to shoot the basketball and the fans want to see the old Bean for one more season. The team is going to finish with a top 3 pick regardless (Lakers are winless without Kobe this year) so why not have Kobe out there gathering a few more highlights before he hangs them up?

It's not like he has anything left to prove, no other guard has ever made it to a 20th season in the NBA. Kobe can still play, but consistency will be a huge issue with his age.

If Kobe was actually playing at an NBA level then this might be something to brag about, but he isn't. The dude has literally become the biggest punchline in the league, and everyone knows it except his stans. Dozens of other shooting guards could have easily played 20 seasons and produced Kobe's current stat line. Only difference is they had the good sense to retire and not embarrass themselves.

ok and what? Does this make your life better? Like seriously? what do you gain by posting this shit all the time when you're a lebron fan? I dont get you?

This! Curry would be top right corner while Kobe would be on the other extreme. It would be hillarious seeing the difference:roll:

You are the definition of rent free

So you need to collude and play with 2 top 10 players at all times to take awful shots and be worthless? And you wonder why you have no job and are begging for money on the internet. Let me help you understand: You are ****ing retard.

Kobe is one of the most achieved player ever, one of the most dominant players ever. It's funny that when he was in his prime you couldn't find ways to legitimately criticize him. Now that's he's proven he has the best longevity ever for a small player and got into his 20th season after the biggest injury in sports you try to act like you're cool by bashing him. You're just pathetic.

As usual, Kobe fans use his playoff runs instead of just the Finals numbers with FG% like they use against James.

We all know why.

Cuz he's a 40%fg shooter in the finals. That's why. He's the ultimate choke artist when the stakes are high.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Easily the worst season of Kobe's career.

Zero range, lift, and is actually inefficient from midrange, or 10-16 feet. For a guy celebrated over his midrange that is crazy.

Dude didn't just regress, he fell of a cliff.

Steph Curry's 3PT% is higher than Kobe's TS%. Think about that.

Damn

In all fairness to Kobe, Steph's shooting percentages make a lot of superstars past AND present look really bad. :lol

Kobe fans will probably come at me like hungry zombies, but this season has shown me that while skilled, Bean's greatness was heavily dependent on his athleticism. Watching Dirk and Duncan play smart basketball, despite looking brittle and fatigued, has also made me question Kobe's IQ - not so much the shot selection, but how to pick his spots and play to his strengths.

Easily his worst season, and probably his last, but its been illuminating to some degree.

It's sad to see Bean be this bad for me. I have been a hater for a while (mostly due to his fans tbh, but I don't like the way he plays either), but he's so bad now that him having a bad game isn't funny anymore. In the past I would laugh when he went 9-31 or whatever, because it was usually due to him being a dumb chucker. Now, he just sucks and it's sad. I want to see him have a good game, he's struggling so bad and he seems dejected :(
