Kobe is 36; the Lakers are terrible. What happens when the most dramatically isolated superstar in basketball starts to fall apart?♦♦♦BILL BAPTIST/NBAE VIA GETTY IMAGES
It’s funny, for one thing. It’s always funny when a person’s self-image drastically exceeds the reality, and it’s doubly so when the person is as arrogant as Kobe. The crowd may worship success, but it also accrues small resentments toward athletes who hold themselves aloof. Kobe isn’t precisely hated, but now that success is deserting him, the crowd is happy enough to see his insolence brought to earth. This Lakers season has been a bizarre clinic in bad-tempered screwball, a farce made of missed 15-foot jumpers. He’s shooting under 38 percent, by far the lowest rate of his career; this month, he missed his 13th straight potentially game-tying or go-ahead field goal attempt in the last five seconds of the fourth quarter, his worst stretch of clutch shooting ever. When he hasn’t been clanking buzzer-beaters, Kobe has compared his teammates to toilet paper; lashed out at Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak in practice; wound up in a weird, weird seriocomic feud with Lakers shooting guard Nick “Swaggy P” Young; and generally given the impression of a man whose remaining margin of self-certainty is crumbling by the day. Twitter has watched this breathlessly, gawking at the slow-motion crash. I have, too; it’s irresistible.
I want to make the case, though, that this season has also been a kind of gift. It’s thrown Kobe’s essential qualities into relief. It’s helped us understand him better. That look of hard, mad, small-eyed determination reads a little more starkly when everything is going to pieces than it does up 12 in the Finals. What were the odds, anyway, that Kobe would end up marooned in such a dramatically perfect situation? A tyrant, he’s facing large-scale rebellion; a loner, he’s surrounded by enemies, on his own team and in every arena he enters. The NBA’s most self-willed star, he’s discovering the limits of what his will can do.
Here he is, for instance, trying a first-quarter buzzer-beater against all five of the Sacramento Kings:
It’s comical, because it reflects a towering self-assurance that is also wildly misplaced. But underneath the comedy, it’s also riveting and slightly tragic, because Kobe refuses to be limited by anything but his own idea of himself.
.....
Kobe is alienating because he doesn’t care about dignity. If preserving his sense of who and what he is means ending his career loudly and embarrassingly, he will be as loud and embarrassing as he can. He has severed his ties, imperiously, with the support systems that keep other great players respectable after their skills erode — with teammates, coaches, and executives who could help mask his weaknesses and fawn over him in the press. Nick Young would tear Kobe’s throat out just to appear in this sentence. The role Kobe is playing is one he created for himself. He is showing us what happens when an alpha dog dies ungracefully, the way alpha dogs are supposed to die. It is hilarious and painful to watch, and probably to live, too, although who knows? It can’t be easy.
Kobe's FG% today: .375
His PPG-APG-RPG today: 23.0 - 5.3 - 5.6.
"23-5-5"
Legacy over,,,,. Have you ever seen a guys legacy come crashing to the ground so fast as Kobricks? And Laker fans are so stupid they applaud it and call him tank commander,,,,,lmao.
The reason his legacy is crashing down like this is because all his flaws had always been apparent, with the only thing holding it up being team success. But now that he is not being propped up by the best bigs in the league, the only leg he had to stand on is gone (team success). This year showed repeat of his 2005 campaign and two of these runs in one career is just too much of a black mark to ignore.
A salient quote on this day:
Kobe's FG% today is: .375"I don’t usually like guys having that amount of points," Gasol said. "It takes away the rhythm of the other players. I’m all about balance and team game."
His PPG-APG-RPG today: 23.0 - 5.3 - 5.6.

His PPG-APG-RPG today are still : 23.0 - 5.3 - 5.6.

Also, Kobe's FG% is: .372.
BONUS! Kobe's 3-point FG% is: .296
