How has Kobe never shot 50% once in a season?

[sdballer5588]

What's that an 8 game sample size? Lol

Simple math tells you it's 7 games in.

Literally not even one half of the playoffs lol

I decided to say 8 to be generous and possibly account for low minutes due to blow outs. Either way it's mind boggling Kobe stans continually post this image.

[Rebounds45]

Stop trying to attack each other's legacy holy chit.

Kobe is an all-time great whether you like it or not, same goes to LeBron.

[antiwhitekn1ght]

they like to throw the ball to him and the end of shot clock situations cause they know he has the best chance to make a quick/high difficulty/very contested shot, brings down his percentage a bit because they do this multiple times a game. Also, he doesn't statpad like not throwing the ball to the other side of the court when the time is expiring

Both of these have been mathematically shot down so many times it's honestly absurd people even bring it up.

[Creaso]

Oh ok so he's a selfish idiot.

Noted.

But he takes difficult shots so he is a better shooter then people that don't take the same degree of difficulty on their shots.

[jsmoor09]

You guys arent mad... yet here you are.

It's a discussion board. People come to discuss things. Are posters mad everytime they answer a question about creatine?

[jsmoor09]

Ask Kobe when he getting back to the NBA Finals, I'll wait...

Lol ooooh! Next let's ask Jordan when he's getting back into the Finals. This is useful.

Difficult or dumb?

Usually. Yeah.

[ThatKindaGuy]

33/15.8/4.8 57.3%

vs

24.6/7.8/5.8 41.5%

NO WAY! You are saying the most dominant center of all time has a better FG% doing dunks than someone in the backcourt doing fadeaway jumpers?

Someone take Kobe's rings away right now!!!

[waisoserious]

Its kind of mind blowing for a guy to have that long of a career and never shoot 50%.

Even perimeter guys like, Durant, Dirk, Reggie Miller, Chris Mullin and Bird have shot at least 50% once, even small guys like Monta Ellis and Chris Paul have shot 50%

Might be the only top 10 player to have never shoot 50% in a season.

kobe has more rings than all those guys combined

[Swept]

kobe has more rings than all those guys combined

Hondo has 8 rings and no one considers him a top 10.....

ya but nobody cares about celtics

Its OK - I am talking about playing basketball, I know its not something you are concerned with.

Haha you have devolved into such a simplistic poster.

Literally the simplest most retarded "trolling" you can conceive.


You have gotten SUPER lazy. Or much more realistic. Either or.

[MightyBroYoung]

Because Kobe can make insane shots with people draped all over him, he has a tendency to take insane shots with people draped all over him. If he wanted to baby his fg% he could. The determined, stubborn mentality that causes him to take bad shots is also what makes him great. His confidence gets the best of him occasionally. So be it. I think people make a bigger deal of it then it really should be.

Every player has negatives that you could point to. It's a results driven world we live in and Kobe has gotten excellent results throughout his career.

whats next, the kobe is clutch argument?

[MightyBroYoung]

I wasn't arguing that it was a always a good idea for him to force those shots. I'm just explaining why he does it. You have to take the good with the bad. There are no perfect players. Kobe is fun to watch and like I said he's gotten good results. He's won more than his fair share of awards and championships. We nit pick these guys too much.

[socrates07]

"He took shots where there was only going to be a fraction of a second between getting blocked and getting the shot off in time just to send a message to defenders. Kobe never showed a defender any respect from what I can recall."

Oh ok so he's a selfish idiot.

Noted.

^^^^

I think the most ironic stat I've ever seen regarding kobe is the fact that allen iverson, the chucker of all chuckers, has a career average more assists than kobe "team first" bryant

Just lol. You should be banned for idiocy.

Lebron doesn't have the sack or the skill to do what Kobe does.

Put Kobe's skill, work ethic, and mindset into LeBron and we are talking Wilt numbers. That's a guarantee.

and 4.5 assists on a career night

"when Phil Jackson wrote The Last Season: A Team in Search of Its Soul. The book detailed the events of the Lakers' tumultuous 2003–04 season and has a number of criticisms of Bryant. In the book Jackson called Bryant "uncoachable"."

inb4 HE'S A BLACK MAMBA YOU CAN'T COACH KILLERS MAN THEY'RE JUST OUT THEIR SH*TTING ON PEOPLE NIGHT IN AND NIGHT OUT SO WOW SO AMAZE SUCH KOBE

[jross2021]

Lmfao, sdballer literally spent his whole night arguing against kobe before finally passing out at 5am.

[Daewoo_Lanos]

Lebron doesn't have the sack or the skill to do what Kobe does.

to miss the most shots in NBA history? yes we already know that lebron is not built that way.

Certainly does not have the sack or (lack of) skill to do that.

[miaheatfan]

Kobe is/was a great player but efficiency has never been his forte. I think his career average (45.4%) is in line with the league average.

[jross2021]

Oh ok so he's a selfish idiot.

Noted.

Lol? Only you could formulate a personal attack based around LeBron James, as if I myself am LeBron.


any shooter knows you need a short memory, but when you are just simply shooting your team out of games? That is a bad thing bro. It's easy to spot people who have never played bball at any competitive level lol

I love how you ignored that JORDAN would refocus his efforts if his shot didn't fall, so you are willing to apparently openly insult Jordan for Kobe .... but I'm the illogical homer here?


Haha ok.

Unless you are saying that it happened at EVERY single one, then the number is obnoxiously insignificant to any sort of %.


This thread is literally kobe stans making excuses for not even a bad percentage for a high volume shooter. This is how ****ing insecure you are. 45% is fine for his volume. You're so unsure of it that you make more and more excuses.

Ironically, you need these excuses because the guy YOU force comparisons to happens to shoot a catastrophically better percent.

You guys arent mad... yet here you are.

Um what? Lol would you just shut up already?

Simple math tells you it's 7 games in.

Literally not even one half of the playoffs lol

it is funny he is so critical of kobe considering he is a high volume poster.

misses on more posts than he makes. Probably about a 32% poster or so.

any judgement he has on kobe is a reflection of how he sees himself. i legitimately believe he has an addiction to this site.

another BULL**** ass comment from SDballer, who would've thought? MATHEMATICALLY shot down lmfao.....let's see you math on this one *******? I actually WATCHED the games, shocking huh? you should try it sometime. They do this MULTIPLE times a game with the shot clock sub 5 seconds.
