Lakers: Bryant: "Best I've played in a long while"

[Cry Havoc]

Yes, because Kobe is responsible for Dwight's limited offensive game and poor FT shooting and Gasol being past his prime and shooting 40% from the field. lol gnsf s.

Case in point.

The Lakers biggest advantage against almost every team in the NBA is their frontline. Kobe takes away from that advantage by trying to get his.

LOL watch today's game, he does shoot a bit too much but yall.acting like this is 2009 Pau and Dwight. This would be like ing Tony is taking away shots from Manu 4 years ago that would be an issue ... This year not so much.

Shooting a bit too much as you said takes shots away from other capable scorers. You can't blame pau or dh if they stop trying. No one likes playing with a chucker.

Tony FG% is over 50, most of his shots are layups, not contested jumpers.

Empty stats, tbh.

Fun-n-gun once convinced us that Quentin Richardson and Leandro Barbosa were borderline All-Stars and that Joe Johnson was the league's next great shooting guard.

Kobe is also one of the worst perimeter defenders in the league this season.

I'll give him props for his efficiency thus far, but he's nowhere near MVP candidate material.

Funny how Kobe's "best seasons" end up with the Lakers playing ~ .500 ball.
