Kobe: "I couldve scored 80 tonight. It wouldnt have made a damn difference"

[Kidbasketball20]

.... but you didn't.






LOSER :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :banana: :banana: :cheers:

[kennethgriffin]

did he really say that


cause he couldnt have done that even with 200 shots

[JT123]

Kobe needs to worry about scoring 20 points first, a mark he hasn't reached in 10 games now. :facepalm

True. Dude could've scored 100, but it wouldn't have mattered. He should whoop the others for not playing defense though. I can understand Kobe not playing any D (like at all), but the rest of the team?

He couldn't score 80 in 48 minutes in a gym by himself the way he's bricking.

Efforts come off as a team, not individual, it's contagious.
One guy stops doing it, the entire is going to suffer from it.

And losing many games isn't going to help. The drive and efforts just aren't there.

That one veteran with the biggest contract slack off on D and the coach allows him to jack shots because he

Please just retire and join TNT's crew. :facepalm At least when you're self-delusionally talking about yourself, you oftentimes have estimable basketball insight

Could picture TNT crew n Shaq torturing Kobe with his 1/14 games.

[FireDavidKahn]

worst thing about this quote: he is saying his teamm8s are trash. as 20 year veteran and all time great he should act differently as a role model. thowing his rookies under the bus, while being by far the worst.

thats sad and with that quotation he lost def. reputation
Teaching Russell how to be a leader.:bowdown:

[OmniStrife]

Going off of the assumption that his average made basket is worth around 2.2 points and the 0.07 FG%...

Mamba had to take ~518 shots to get to 80 points.

Honestly I think the whole purpose of him saying this is to justify him actually going for it next game.

[DCL]

but he couldn't even score 8 points.

not even 7.

not even 6.

shit, he couldn't even get 5 points.

he was trying desperately though, kept chucking and chucking and chucking.

would be interesting to add up his total points since he signed the new contract, and then seeing how much he's been paid per point

The comprehension skills are seriously lacking itt. He's not saying he could have scored 80, he's saying if he did it wouldn't matter. Implying that scoring isn't their biggest issue right now. In no way does Kobe himself think he can score 80. He knows he freakin sucks.

[Town's Town]

"I could've scored 80 tonight." No, he really couldn't have.

[pauk]

77 + 80 (-his 4) = 157

Think it would made some kindof difference... and no, you wouldnt be 3-11 if you averaged 35 ppg, you would have a good record, even tonight 35 points would result in a win as you would win by 1 point.

what he meant to say was "give or take about 76".

LOL. Him averaging 35 would not give them a better record. He'd have to take a shot on nearly every possession. The team would be losing games by scores of 89-35.

[AirFederer]

I`d pay to wacth him try him average 35 ppg these days :lol

I`d say to expect a 25 % FG would be generous.

[stalkerforlife]

Kobe so candid.

So right.

And why would he score 80 and possibly ruin his pupil's night? The torch had to be passed. MJ to Kobe to Curry.

At least Curry was in no danger of getting burned by Kobes "torch" as it clearly burnt out years ago

[Knoe Itawl]

Not surprising that he's as delusional as his idiot stains.

[TheBigVeto]

I can't even believe he just said that... the delusions run deep

He's just being salty. Passive aggressive.
#menopausebe

[STATUTORY]

still the Mamba to me damn it!

[G0ATbe]

He's carrying arguably the worst team in NBA history... at 37 years old coming off an injury. Playing magnificent basketball so far under the circumstances:applause: .

[pauk]

LOL. Him averaging 35 would not give them a better record. He'd have to take a shot on nearly every possession. The team would be losing games by scores of 89-35.

Well yea him trying to go for 35 now would be the efficiency of something like that, perhaps not exactly like that lol but yea, i mean at ~30% fg (probably less considering forced shots) it would mean 30++ FGA hence a ridicilous amount of wasted possessions, they wouldnt even win a game at all maybe...

So if Kobe is talking about him having 80 pts or averaging 35 ppg this season he is absolutely right, they wouldnt win, considering the above.... But at his prime 35 ppg and that 80 point game he had would made a difference for the squad today dont you think?

So i mean Kobe is right actually, it wouldnt make a difference, him going for 80 points today would be like literally 130+ FGA.... 40 of 140 or something, game losed 111-80... :P

[JohnFreeman]

Old man is delusional

[TheBigVeto]

Somebody please remind him before the start of the next game that there is no 40-point shot. Only 2-point and 3-point. 1 point per free throw.

It's quite surprising for someone who has played for a long time, to not remember this. Even a dummy like Antoine Walker knows it, there's no 4, let alone 40.

[ImKobe]

His point is that the team sucks on both ends, even if he was still good enough to carry them on the offensive end the other teams would still score on them at will, which has been the case since they lost Dwight Howard... Hibbert at this point is trash and can't keep up with the Western Conference teams, Clarkson and Russell aren't experienced enough to battle with guys like Klay and Steph, who manage to get by them at will every time down the court.

But Kobe knows his days of being a superstar are over, he knows he should have retired last season because he can't be a #1 option on offense anymore.

I love it when a worshipper overstate facts.
Hibbert as trash eh?

He is 3 among centers in block/game 48 mins
4th overall among centers in blocks/game ahead of Gobert, Pau, Horford,Drummond Ezeli, Howard, Al Jeff etc etc etc.

[AirFederer]

Wow, ESPN, GSW and others just laid it out there

Marcus Thompson, a sports columnist for the Bay Area News Group, tweeted after Tuesday's game: "Several Warriors players were shocked at how far Kobe has fallen. Lots of respect for him in Dubs locker room. They grew up on Black Mamba."

Those players aren't alone. Many observers watching Bryant in person or on TV this season must feel the same, even die-hard Lakers/Kobe fans. And for as much as NBA-focused pockets of social media discussed the Warriors on Tuesday, there was just as much chatter, if not more, about Bryant and how, at this point, his likely farewell tour -- one that's often playing out on national television -- is becoming sadder by the game.

That notion was expressed even more so when Bryant bottomed out early in the third quarter against the Warriors. His first shot of the second half was a pull-up 3-pointer from 25 feet. The shot drew nothing but air, as several others have this season. His next shot, a 16-foot pull-up jumper made contact, at least, but it became stuck between iron and glass.

Videos of both plays went viral immediately and were declared emblematic of Bryant's season and of how far he has fallen.

ESPN's real plus-minus, which measures a player's impact on team performance per 100 possessions, placed Bryant 381st in the NBA and 74th for small forwards, the position that Bryant has largely played this season. That's down from last season, when Bryant ranked 301st in the NBA and 55th among shooting guards, the position he primarily played.

Bryant's player efficiency rating (10.3) is tied for the second-lowest on the team with backup center Tarik Black. The only lower PER on the Lakers belongs to Robert Sacre, who has played four minutes this season.

Lakers coach Byron Scott dismissed lowering Bryant's minutes, saying, "I have faith in Kobe."

:cry: :eek: :lol
