Kobe: "I couldve scored 80 tonight. It wouldnt have made a damn difference"

[f0und]

what he meant to say was "give or take about 76".

[Akrazotile]

77 + 80 (-his 4) = 157

Think it would made some kindof difference... and no, you wouldnt be 3-11 if you averaged 35 ppg, you would have a good record, even tonight 35 points would result in a win as you would win by 1 point.

LOL. Him averaging 35 would not give them a better record. He'd have to take a shot on nearly every possession. The team would be losing games by scores of 89-35.

[AirFederer]

I`d pay to wacth him try him average 35 ppg these days

I`d say to expect a 25 % FG would be generous.

Kobe so candid.

So right.

And why would he score 80 and possibly ruin his pupil's night? The torch had to be passed. MJ to Kobe to Curry.

At least Curry was in no danger of getting burned by Kobes "torch" as it clearly burnt out years ago

[Knoe Itawl]

Not surprising that he's as delusional as his idiot stains.

[TheBigVeto]

I can't even believe he just said that... the delusions run deep

He's just being salty. Passive aggressive.

still the Mamba to me damn it!

[G0ATbe]

He's carrying arguably the worst team in NBA history... at 37 years old coming off an injury. Playing magnificent basketball so far under the circumstances .

Well yea him trying to go for 35 now would be the efficiency of something like that, perhaps not exactly like that lol but yea, i mean at ~30% fg (probably less considering forced shots) it would mean 30++ FGA hence a ridicilous amount of wasted possessions, they wouldnt even win a game at all maybe...

So if Kobe is talking about him having 80 pts or averaging 35 ppg this season he is absolutely right, they wouldnt win, considering the above.... But at his prime 35 ppg and that 80 point game he had would made a difference for the squad today dont you think?

So i mean Kobe is right actually, it wouldnt make a difference, him going for 80 points today would be like literally 130+ FGA.... 40 of 140 or something, game losed 111-80... :P

[JohnFreeman]

Old man is delusional

[TheBigVeto]

Somebody please remind him before the start of the next game that there is no 40-point shot. Only 2-point and 3-point. 1 point per free throw.

It's quite surprising for someone who has played for a long time, to not remember this. Even a dummy like Antoine Walker knows it, there's no 4, let alone 40.

[ImKobe]

His point is that the team sucks on both ends, even if he was still good enough to carry them on the offensive end the other teams would still score on them at will, which has been the case since they lost Dwight Howard... Hibbert at this point is trash and can't keep up with the Western Conference teams, Clarkson and Russell aren't experienced enough to battle with guys like Klay and Steph, who manage to get by them at will every time down the court.

But Kobe knows his days of being a superstar are over, he knows he should have retired last season because he can't be a #1 option on offense anymore.

But hes not.

But hes not.

That's what I said. They would still suck if he played as good as he did last year or the year before...
