Interesting stat. I too classify Kobe as a chucker. Maybe I'm wrong. Also, he didn't have his own team until like 2005. Maybe he would've shot way more if he never had a Shaq. I'd like to see his FG attempts as a number 1 option, compared percentage wise to someone like Mj or Kareem.

The reason we call Kobe a chucker is hecause when he is shooting ****ing terrible, the ***** just keeps shooting.

People love to point at the fact that players shot less 3s back then as the reason why FG %s were higher, but love to dismiss that fact when comparing kobe's FG% to Jordan's

How is he not a chucker? How many other players in the history of the game have so many 6-24 and 8-30 type of games, when it is clear they can't buy a basket that day? That is a definition of ballhog and brickmaster, deal with it Kome stans

you mean to tell me you wouldn't be all over Lebron if he shot as poorly as your idol does? GTFO of here with your hypocritical nonsense

If the Mavs don't win the title....which is of course not likely...

And the Heat somehow do win...even though I don't think they have enough this year...especially without Haslem and Miller....

If the Heat do win, my biggest hope is that Lebron shoots like 40% and wins Finals MVP

It will be hilarious to hear all these people that claim efficiency doesn't matter and only winning matters...etc. Imagine what they would all say....it would be priceless.

Jordan's 2 point percentage is significantly higher as well.

Kobe aint my Idol.....Dwyane wade is my favorite player.

Noone cares howgood you were/are if you didn't win when given your opportunities. James had several opportunities and failed each time. He will always be remembered as that ultra talented guy that shrun kwhen the game was in the balance.

You can say whatever you want about Bryant, but without him the lakers would have no titles in this decade.

Bryant having stacked teams are nothing but a muth. if you take a look at the last 2 champion rosters you'd see 2 allstars and a weak bench.
