another kobe bashfest? i'll join. media and lakerfans have selected memory when it comes to kobe. they will remember his strengths and none of his weaknesses. i watched yesterday's game and the fourth quarter was a sad sight for the lakers. kobe hogging the ball, jumping into a wall of clippers defenders and chucking up a low percentage shot. combined that with pull up contested 3 pointers and missing contested floaters, the lakers were doomed. bryant is averaging 23 attempts a game this season, the highest since the 05-06 season. one has to wonder why he feels it to be necessary to chuck so many shots when he is surrounded by so much talent. when boston's big 3 united, they all decreased their field goal attempts. but when kobe has bynum, gasol, odom, and artest, he ups his attempts. wtf? kobe has the most talented roster in the league and he decides to increase his field goals??
i would like to add he also did this during the olympics. he had the most shot attempts yet averaged like the third or fourth most points. this is with like 12 other NBA all stars on his team.
