By making the claim that somebody can score whenever they want means when said player doesn't score, it's because he chooses not to score. Which means that every time he couldn't get a basket when needed, and games were lost, it's because he chose not to "turn it on" and score "at will". That claim is not only false, but ridiculous.
I can't find where someone said he was a magic genie and was unstoppable.
That's exactly what some have said about Kobe, that he can get a basket whenever he wants and score at will.
If you don't understand that Kobe, especially on this current team that actually has some talent around him, could fairly easily score another 10+ a night you either don't watch much basketball or you shouldn't be...
You obviously don't even comprehend the premise of my original point, so I will stop here.

For the record. Laker fans would have loved to get Deng at the time he signed his deal.
The number of Bulls wins enabled them to get Rose who is a future stud.
The one positive for the Bulls last year is that they didn't trade for Kobe.
Paxson should be fired at the end of this year and Del Negro is a joke of a coach.
All of that above though doesnt change the fact that Kobe and the Lakers choke in game 4 and showed no heart in game 6. Kobe also played more like Katie Jordan that Michael Jordan for the majority of that series.
And it was a serious question. What was Kobes average for the series.
now there is no need to go on and insult Katie Jordan

Re: Kobe, Jordan, and 40 point games.
That is absolutely amazing. Consider that he came off the bench his 1st 2 years, was the 2nd option behind Shaq for 6 years, and has had a great team for the past 2 seasons. He's really been on bad teams for 2 seasons. And he still has 94 career 40+ point games third all-time. Imagine what he would have done as the #1 guy from the beginning of his career.

He would have not been a #1 guy at the beginning of his career. He jumped out of school and didn't develop until his 3rd season I believe.

NBA rookie of the year
Re: Kobe, Jordan, and 40 point games.
I predict he'll finish at about 120 such games, which is a hell of a number. 140 is pushing it, especially as long as he plays 35-37 mpg and on good teams. While I'm at it, I'm not even sure he'll reach the 120 plateau. He'll need 26 more, an average of 5.2 for this season and 4 more. Achievable, but not granted.
FIY, if we include ABA careers, Barry is at 118 40-pointers.
FIY#2, Kobe is exactly at 100 40-point games if we include playoffs. However, this way he's at #4, since Baylor has a combined total of 103.

Yeah. I bet not even you could do it with damn Dave Corzine and Rod Higgins by your side.
Real good huh...3000 points. LOL.
But it was much easier to score back then, rim was 30" in diameter.

He needs to score 40 16 times per season, from here on out for the next 4 seasons, I doubt it
