Guess without the suns competing, he just doesn't care anymore.Shame we don't have Bruce Bowen anymore...
The season is 82 games, newbie face.
Let me know when the season is over, I guarantee he will shoot below that.
It's his style of play.

Kobe doesn't stop playing when he breaks a finger.
....or, a Colorado starfish.
In my experience, finger injuries affect rebounding more than it does shooting.
How do you come up with this ?

I've always held the rump in the highest esteem. I'm a rump connasewer.
It took me awhile to get you but you're a funny guy Culburn.
hopefully the finger issue will linger and with his shot, dropping his FG% by a couple %
i have a hard time deciphering his posts sometimes.
He didn't flinch nary an inch facing 20 ta life. A broken finger?
Please.
It's past time that the league stop kissing Bryant's (and James', for that matter) ass and do what any logical, compe ive person would do give the cir stances: accidentally on purpose grab, pull, hack and whack at Bryant's broken finger every time he exposes or drives the ball. I was disappointed a year and a half ago when no one took advantage of his finger that needed surgery. Seeing as how nothing was done then, I don't suspect anything will be now. If this were probably any decade previous to this one, something like this would go without saying.
It's a union, TD. They'll never do what you suggest. No way.
I suspect you're right and this is what pisses me off most about today's NBA. Not to sound like an old foggy (because I'm not), but if this were Jordan with a broken finger, particularly in a playoff game, teams would be doing just what I described in my previous post as a way to try and eliminate their stiffest compe ion. Nowadays, everyone is so caught up with slobbering over everything Bryant and James that this would never happen. They'd rather help him up from the floor after a fall, or smack hands/hug and joke with him immediately after the game, laugh on the bench while getting blown out or dance on the bench while blowing someone else out, than do that. I don't get these guys.
A union makes strange bedfellows. It's almost mandatory. They have fought as a union long and hard to accomplish what they have. They only did it because they stuck together and refused to be torn apart by management. You don't have to agree with their "creed", but, we only get the one side. They won't turn against one another and do something that will prevent another union member from "earning his wages." Sure, in the heat of hammer & tong battle there is always the specter of outrage, but, that is at the source of heat. What you're suggesting, TD, is that they (teams) conspire before hand to "take Bryant out." No union member will ever do that.
Earning his wages? This isn't the NFL; contracts are almost always guaranteed. The perception is that Bryant is one of the two best players in the league. Big deal if he were out for an extended period of time or every the duration of this season; he'd still unquestionably have a job next season. Namely, the exact same one he has now. He's already made over $100 million and he'll make well over a $100 million more before his career is up.
It's not about "turning on him". I'm not suggesting some overtly obvious suspend-able act. What are you talking about? The game was supposedly much more physical in every other decade. The culture of it has changed, but don't act like this is the type of thing that didn't or wouldn't have gone on in other eras.
[accidentally on purpose grab, pull, hack and whack at Bryant's broken finger every time he exposes or drives the ball.]
That's what you said, TD. That is an "overtly obvious suspend-able act." If you "pull, hack and whack" Bryant's broken finger he won't be "earning his wages."
good luck proving that it's intentional as long as basketball is a contact sport
Kobe's a re . Not only is his finger ed up but he has a stomach virus, he has literally not moved one inch on defense and is throwing up nothing but bricks on offense, but for some reason he probably thinks he's helping. Sit your ass down for once fool, this isn't Kwame and Smush out there.
Dummy, they ain't gonna do it. It's a brotherhood, a union.
I am still waiting for Kome to sit out for a while
so that the Lakers can put up an impressive stretch of games without him.
lol heating pizza
lmao
He needs to cure his finger in Colorado spa by doing some fingering.
