I thought Kobe was a zone buster?

[Diesel J]

I keep hearing about how great of a shooter this guy is but for some reason he hasn't been able to hit a wide open shot for his life in these olympic/pre olympic games.

[hotsizzle]

you're right, kobe is not a good shooter and he cant drive to the basket that well anymore either. hes a very average offensive player.

LOL! One bad game and now Kobe is trash. Awesome. Kids...

[Diesel J]

Kobe = great streak shooter

Kobe is not a great shooter though.

[Manute for Ever!]

Kobe started off a little slow, but overall I think he had a decent game. He knocked down his share of long balls.

Agreed. Kobe = 3rd tier superstar. Mike Miller>Kobe.

hey ur on ISH.Only today counts.A guy could have 100 pts in 81 gms out of the season, but if he goes 1-14 in the 82nd gm he complete thrash.Cp3 had one bad olympic gm and they are killing him.

I really don't get how and why Kobe gets these unanimous decision that he is the best player, hands down, in the world.

I mean he has a case for that but Lebron has to be right up there in the discussion.

Lebron has simply been more impressive than Kobe for almost all of the calendar year 2008. Outplayed Kobe head to head, performed better in the playoffs when it matters (stepped up against Boston in a way Kobe didn't), and on Team USA Lebron does EVERYTHING. He blocks shots, he hits threes, he attacks the rim.

I mean really, I have no idea why people think there is this space between Kobe and the 2nd best player in the world.

We also thought Kobe was the MVP

Lebron didnt have a better playoffs than Kobe. But you're right overall, you can make a case for either of them...the gap, if there even is one, is very slim

Im not basing this just off of one game though.

Yes you are or else you wouldn't have made this topic right after the game where he shot badly.

Kobe does a better job of promoting his work ethic than LeBron does.

[Kobe24]
