Re: Kobe Bryant on pace for the second worst 3 point shooting season in history!
Really 30% 3p% isn't even a terrible shot though. It translates to 45% normal fg% Not good, but more efficient then the average jumper Kobe takes.

Definetely.I hope one day stats-mania will die.Kobe is fine with or without such record..Iverson in 05 was fine too,so even kobe breaks it, doesn't mean much.He is slightly declining but thats normal cos of his age.He is still one of best at league.That matters.

I'm guessing people don't actually watch Laker games.
His 3 point shots that come within the offense, I'd be willing to bet he shoots at a pretty good clip.
It's when his teammates throw him the ball with less than four seconds left on the shot clock and he has to bail them out. I'd bet those are much lower percentage.
Also, Kobe will always throw up a half-court buzzer beater where as some players like LeBron and Wade who care about their stats will just hold the ball and throw it up right after the buzzer to look like they "tried."

well well well
Re: Kobe Bryant on pace for the second worst 3 point shooting season in history!
This season Kobe is avoiding the 3pt shot at all costs, even if hes open he will try to fake and go around the incoming defender. He only shoots the 3 in bail out situations.

some of the kobe haters could work research for ESPN if they put their effort in that direction. "Rajon Rondo tops the all time list in assists per game for players who have played at least 34 games, have scored 17 points less than 40% of the time, and have only played 6 games on Sundays." -ESPN

Yup. Except for that bit about the Lakers coaching staff saying as recently as last night [per john ireland kcal telecast] that shooting has been a real problem for this year's team. Is Phil Jackson a Kobe hater who could work for ESPN?
SO.. yea this is relevant to the current status of the lakers. The historical bit at the end adds a touch of perspective. Doesn't mean kobe sucks but it is worth taking note of.

Re: Kobe Bryant on pace for the second worst 3 point shooting season in history!
It's because 75% of Kobe's shots are tough turnaround jumpers that would be ridiculously different and low % for most other NBA players. FG%, 3FG% or whatever ever % you want to find isn't everything. .Shaq is shooting nearly 60% from the field, you want to tell me Shaq is a better shooter than kobe?

30% from 3 is negative production in the NBA unless you rebound offensively maybe +40% of the rebounds that comes from those 3pt attempts.

Re: Kobe Bryant on pace for the second worst 3 point shooting season in history!
It's not like he's been inefficient this year. His mediocre three point shooting is just a result of him having to take so many with a hand in his face, since he doesn't play next to a point guard who can drive and dish. Put him on Boston or Orlando and he'll shoot 37%, 38% and we won't be having this conversation.

Exactly. This isn't Baron Davis or Antoine Walker territory that he's in, he's not hurting his team by taking that shot.

this is not true at all . .Wade is always throwing up shots because the shot clock is running down. Lebron too.
Wade would be shooting great from 3 too if he didnt have to take those bailout shots .. but that is a homer excuse because EVERY player that puts up a lot of shots for his team and handles the ball a lot is in that situation.
Kobes not an exception .. hess just shooting poorly from 3 this year.. but pretty well overall from the field.

I'm not talking about shot clock buzzer; Wade and LeBron bail their teams out too.
I'm talking about half-court heaves at quarter-buzzers. Wade and LeBron always hold the ball. Always.

I asked this question on another board with someone who only uses statistics
never got a response
but seriously I'd probably walk away if someone brought that crap up
