Bizarre Kobe stat

[CosmicCowboy]

He's not shooting 3's this year...he is averaging 32ppg and hasn't made a single 3 this year...and thats after jacking up 6 a game last year...whats up with that?

[Ginofan]

Kobe is the man.

[Taco]

...he is averaging 32ppg

Yeah but @ 30 FGA per game :lol

[missmyzte]

Last year, Rudy T had one play that he drew up: shoot 3's. That's all any of the Lakers did last year was shoot 3's. As you know, that's not a good game plan and you saw the outcome of that. Phil Jackson has a better game plan and shooting 3's every possession isn't a part of that plan.

[TDMVPDPOY]

doesnt stop him from being a ballhog, its me, myself n kobe.

if you look at the trend of his stats, he likes to score 30+ pts for 3-4 games and then stat padd the ass/rebs columns in the 5 game so he can avg 30 5 5...

[implacable44]

Yeah but @ 30 FGA per game :lol

he is shooting 46% - 13 for 27 and have you seen his team ? where else do you want the points to come from ? Kobe is the second best perimeter player in the league - the only perimeter guy better than him is Dwayne Wade.

[SenorSpur]

It may be a different coach, but it's the same offensive philosophy. 1 on 5 featuring all Kobe, all the time. Kobe will win his share of battles, but the Lakers will certainly lose the war.

[CosmicCowboy]

Dang, lotta Kobe hate in here...I'm just sayin it's very strange that a career 33% three point shooter with the ball in his hands isn't taking any threes...It would be like Big Shot Rob (31% last year) passing up threes...

[Jimcs50]

It is called the TRIANGLE offense.

Duh!

[CosmicCowboy]

It is called the TRIANGLE offense.

Duh!

Not so Duh, buddy...

In '03-'04 lakers went to the finals using the TRIANGLE and Kobe was putting up 3.5 three point attempts a game on a team with more offensive threats...

I'm just sayin it's a strange stat coming from Kobe..

[samikeyp]

Kobe is on my FB team...keep scoring brah! :)

They also had Shaq in the middle creating double and triple teams all game long, thus giving Kobe the open looks.

duh, again.

:)

[Medvedenko]

He's in attack mode...settling for 3's in not part of the game plan anymore. Now, he is playing better ball lately with exception to last game. I don't care if he takes 30 shots per game as long as he's hitting a good percentage. Now with that being said...Lamar Odom is averaging 4 3's per game....that's just scary.

All is fair in Love and Fantasy Leagues :lol

[Marcus Bryant]

He also hasn't raped a woman this season. Odd.

[Medvedenko]

Nice......
Anyway..back on the topic of basketball...The Lakers need a better Low Post presence if they are going to do any damage this year. Kwame needs to improve or the Lakers will make some changes come deadline....remember....the Lakers currently are worse than the Clippers and Kings in their city. I gaurantee Buss doesn't like that.

Like it or not - don't expect that to change this season.

Congrats to Kobe. He's forced the Fakers to construct a team built solely around him. Good luck being the hero. Now he'll see what it's like to be licking the Clippers bootstraps for the next couple of years.

[Medvedenko]

The Clip joint will implode as it usually does..they always had the talent, just poor execution. Good for them and their early season fortunes. Nothing wrong with having a rivalry in the same city. We are all curious to see how a team that's built around Kobe will do...this is real first year that this will happen.

Uh, are you conveniently forgetting about last year? This is the second year of the All-Kobe regime.

It's funny, I used to wish ill on the Fakers and rejoiced in seeing the Spurs, or any team for that matter, take them down. Now, all I have to do is sit back and watch Kobe do it on his own.

[romsey31]

Dwayne Wade is better than Kobe??

[implacable44]

Dwayne Wade is better than Kobe??

is that news to you ? Dwayne Wade will end his career as a better player than Kobe, Lebron or Mcgrady. As long as he keeps developing his jumper he will be great. His jumper is sporadic now - and he is still unstoppable - even without Shaq on the floor and he will only get better as his jumper improves and people have to respect his range. You can't tell me you think Kobe is better than D. Wade can you ? - I mean I guess you can because after all - these are just opinions but for case in point- read the ESPN magazine article on Dwade and look at the players who said they would take Dwade over anyone else in the league.

Ok cause you can see the future right? Is he better than Kobe now???? Dont tell me what will happen at the end of his career.

In my opinion he is and as I said - feel free to read the ESPN the mag article where several NBA players and coaches agree.

[Brutalis]

Kobe is doing good and has the right mindset.

But little to people understand that the Lakers are a 1 man team and run in and out of Kobe. Teams like that either fall subject to injury or losing seasons.

My Gosh

[Medvedenko]

I forgot ESPN magazine is the main source on who's better than Kobe....
It's funny all the sg's in the league are compared to Kobe....it's funny no one says....
I'm better than Wade or Pierce or Carter....they all compare themselves to Kobe and media does the same thing....why....? Because Kobe is better, was better and will be better when all of these poseurs careers are over. 11 game of 35 pnts in a row and over, 9 games of 40 points in a row...the most 3's in a game...TD threat each game, clutch shots, oh and rings...
Wade is good, but Kobe is great, everyone else will keep on comparing.

Did you just called Wade, Carter, and Pierce a poser?

#1. Dummy.

#2. At least they never got.. caught.

#3. Even if they never win a ring, they'll never be known for the guy that rode Shaqs back to rings.

#4. Ahahahahahah.

[SA Gunslinger]

Showbie Cryant is overrated.

[duncan2k5]

he is overrated...ppl continually say he is the best player in the game (mostly laker fans)...and i ask how can he be the best when he cant lead his team to the playoffs? timmy can be put on ANY team in the league and make the playoffs...another thing to look at is if he makes teammates better...so far for kobe...nope. everyone who went there became worse...Odom is lost, Chis mihm became better by default because he never got minutes befoe...as soon as butler and chucky left they became good again...kwame is still a bust. i can go on and on...but i'll save it

[lordswing]

I really don't see where all the kobe hate is coming from, my fucking god. Odom is NO way lost, he's flirting with triple-doubles every game, Mihm is starting to turn into a offensive threat, and Smush Parker?? Yeh, Kobe does NOT deserve this bashing.

[sandman]

I would say Eagle, Colorado.

Screw Kobe and Phyllis. I hope they fail miserably.

Though I hate Sam Cassell, I will be rooting on the Clippers to win the Pacific.

[Marcus Bryant]

Kobe is finding out how great life is without a 7'2", 400 lbs dominant center in the paint right about now.

Maybe Phil has outlawed the 3 in LA, how many do the rest of the team shoot?

dude I dont care if the quotes were in better homes and gardens - ESPN the mag was irrelevant as far as a source - the sources were the players who made the statements - the people that matter. hell - all of them said D wade was a tougher match-up than Kobe - did you see what Kobe did last year? NADA ZIP -- ZILCH -- ZERO _ funny thing - the year before that trade D-WADE still led his team to the playoffs with basically the same squad Kobe had - wierd how that works.

[implacable44]
