CIA Kobe...

Very few players have the physical and mental tools to successfully follow and apply the Kobe System, especially is today's nba :lol

Like Dwight trained with Hakeem but you wouldn't blame Hakeem because Dwight failed to use Hakeem's teachings.

Considering they both like little kids, I thinks he trained him pretty well.

Yes, this makes Kobe look even better somehow

I don't blame Tatum for not having a Shaq or a Pau to dickride, tbh.

Kobe would have been equally as good as Dad Killer if he didn't shoot Long 2's

So the bad habit is shooting too many midrange shots and not shooting enough threes?

In today’s analytic landscape, I guess it’s true. A midrange jumper is generally more inefficient, which is why fewer players take them or even practice them. And when you don’t put the work in to practice them, sure, they become even more inefficient. But isn’t that also part of the game some basketball purist fans are loathe to accept as it relates to making the game an either-or dunk or three point only game? I know there have been posts on these very boards criticizing how the league has trended towards that. They’ve taken the midrange jumper and low post scoring away.

It was probably bad for Tatum because he didn’t shoot the ball well from midrange. He’s a good three point shooter, so he probably should take more. But sometimes a defense forces you into those midrange jumpers. You should be able to take those with confidence and knock them down. If you practice them enough where you are a reliable midrange jumper, it’s no longer a bad habit, but an advantage that allows you to diversify your offense and makes you even more difficult to defend.

Deflecting his shit play on Kobe :lol

The Kobe Effect

[Bynumite]

Tatum didn't even mention Kobe in the article. It's just another case of espn's lazy and click hungry brand of "journalism". Bringing up Kobe seems to be one of their go to moves.

[jbuenavides]

LOL, the effect of Kobe and he is to blame. :lol

[Spurtacular]

I haven't followed this story that closely; but it sounds like when the shit hit the fan that Tatum sort of walked it back some.

[MultiTroll]

Now watching video of LeBron, Kawhi, Booker instead of wasting time hanging out with Almond Head thus picking up bad habits.

Of course Tatum can only get better this year.

[Laker_1995]

Or maybe hear me out this might sound insane! Maybe Tatum is overrated? I know OMG it’s insane to imagine this.

Tatum following LeMao’s lead in being disingenuous.
