    Great research Rose esp for those Kobe worshippers.
    I am a Laker fan and. I don't like it when Kobe takes a ton of shots but I take the good with the bad. At times Kobe would have to take those shots to save his team.
    The data puts some more perspective that we should not not just focus on LIMITED facts but the totality.
    I want to know though, If you can put also the negative stats when ESPN was putting Lebron James on their pedestal in his rookie year.
    ESPN, almost every week would state James as youngest guy to score, rebounded, assisted etc etc. Heck they never put, youngest player to brick this many shots, or to commit this many turnovers.
    My point is, James also played extensively in his rookie year UNLIKE Bryant and yet they NEVER focussed on his NEGATIVE stats.

    exactly... he's in his 15th season age has nothing to do with it per se... not many folks will have racked up 18 seasons? assuming he stays that long when it's all said and done he'll lead or be at the top of some categories because he was good some for other reasons and some strictly because he played so long

    SO WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

    We're gonna focus on the fact he was the youngest to score so many points? but not bricks? you can't have it both ways.

    We're not ESPN. Well, not most of us. We don't vary by age in this modern day. We go by seasons and minutes played and then there's several other stats that you factor in aswell.

    Regardless, if you take the shot you take the shot. We can all agree Wilt, MJ, West, Malone, Kareem they all played around 20 seasons. Which is what Kobe will play. The point is, he doesn't shoot as well as those guys did.

    I look at it this way Favre has the most TDs and picks mostly because he played so long.

    I would rep you but, I was attacked by racists in the off thread forum =p.

    Kobe's been in the NBA for a long time of course he is going to have alot of missed shots because he has been the primary offense for his team for so many years.
