    Kobe coattailing off NBA's hottest commodity is nothing new


    Remember his 2018 challenges to DeFrozan and Isaiah?





    Desperately attaches his name to a rising star each season to keep his face relevant. (last season Tatum)

    This is a 40% finals scorer. The bigger the stage, the worse he choked? Who is he to think he should be giving people advice?

    Anyone remember Kobe wanting to teach Lebron how to win?
    Lebron is firmly in the top 3 all time list. Kobe is looking up 10 spots below and that gap is increasing as Kobe keeps falling

    Close enough.

    But raw FG% is dumb; doesn't consider free throws or threes.

    The difference between 50% and 47% is 0.3 shots per 10 attempts.

    Oooooh!

    Yeah but everyone takes threes, to be fair. Lebron averages more threes a game (fractionally) than Kobe, and still has a much higher field goal percentage.

    You might think its nitpicking but why is nearly every great wing able to hit around 50% at some point except for Kobe. Why is his finals fg% dramatically worse than any all time great since the merger?

    My favorite was when he joined 2008 Team USA in his prime only to get outplayed by 23yo Lebron and Dwade all tournament






    To no surprise, most shots though

    Kobe took 30-40 more shots than LeBron & Wade and still scored less points than them


    Are those free throw percentages accurate though?

    Wade: 63%
    LeBron: 46%
    Kobe: 58%

    That stat sheet
    Awful by Kobe.

    Wade and Lebron were tournament mvps in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, respectively.

    Challenge fulfilled just two years later.

    It genuinely hurts that Mentorbe couldn't witness this.
