he really wasnt all that efficient. eFG of 48% and a 2pt% of 49%, not really a standout figure. kobes best scoring season of 35ppg he had an eFG of 49%, shooting 48% on 2s. when harden averaged 36 he had an eFG of 54% shooting 53% on 2s. and no one would really confuse kobe or harden those years as being particularly efficient scorers. that just goes to show he wasnt "
THAT" efficient. also it was one of his least stellar defensive years in terms of DRTG, DBPM, and DWS, so obviously he also didn't play "
GREAT" defense while taking such a massive scoring load.
okay, and your point is? beside once again bringing out completely left of field thoughts to prop up jordan when no one was even questioning anything about him whatsoever
im no fan of load management either. in terms of the entertainment side of the business, yes its a terrible approach. but in terms of winning championships, its without question a brilliant strategy.
wanna know who to blame for load management and obsession over championships? mike and his fans. you idiots are the one who wanted to make championships an individual achievement and the end-all be-all indicator of greatness, instead of a team award, and unfortunately it is the only way to shut up the critics
im no fan of players falling into that narrative either, but it is what it is. its all become a race for most championships to validate ones greatness, so i cant knock lebron or kd for switching teams, or kobe for demanding to be traded away, when mike started it all with his endless whining, demands, and threats to retire. i really dont know why mike fans get so upset over this, when hes the one who started it all tbqhfwiw
