Any half decent SG would average 25 ppg if he's allowed to jack up 25 shots a game

Kobe could have ended his career with grace but instead chose to **** it all up and throw up bricks at his team's expense, talk about being a team cancer?

[Kvnzhangyay]

The game would be closer if he had taken 100% of them.

So do you have the numbers? Scott's riding Kobe too damn much @ his age

Yep...they would be routing the Warriors tonight without Kobe...

oh yes, retiring after breaking your knee is a nicer way to go...

Any half decent SG at Kobe's age with his miles on the knees while coming back from two potential career ending injuries would not get 25 points on any night. Period.

Sounds like a hate thread more than a logical one. And yes he had a horrible game. Yes his shooting percentage is bad this year. But no to your thread title.

This.


I'm not one for Kobe throwing up so many shots but the argument of "any decent SG that chucks 20+ shots could average as much as Kobe" is an elementary school argument. Plain and simple.

[ILLsmak]

yea his FG% is too low. It's on point in the game he got 44, tho.

If he can shoot around 44% and get 25 for the year, no matter what, that's amazing. If he ends up shooting 37% or whatever that's sad.

Gotta give him credit for being able to get 40, though. The Lakers are really bad. I saw some of them and was like lol. I'm actually cheering for Kobe a bit since he's broken down.

Nick Young must have been salivating in case Kobe goes down. 40 shots baby.

Kobe is top 5 , on the most overrated players of all time list. Fact!

I don't think he's that high. I think Duncan (gets all the credit), Rodman (could not shut down Shaq and Jordan), Jordan are all more over-rated than Kobe.

Kobe has a shot at spots 4 and 5, though, but they're more likely filled by someone like Reggie, Nique, Doc... basically anyone that's transcendent/historically memorable in one facet, while still being a great player.

How old are you if you think Rodman should have been covering and shutting down MJ and Shaq on the reg? Dude was a 6'7 PF not a swing man or big bodied C.

The thread title is so ridiculous... What is a half-decent SG? Most guards in this league can't create their own shot. There's only a handful of SGs that could play the Kobe role consistently: Harden, Wade (when healthy), George....

Those 3 can all create their own shot on a consistent basis and score in an array of ways + get to the line at a decent rate. You think guys that rely on others to set them up will even get 25+ opportunities a game to score? How many of these guards that shoot decently or hit 3s at a nice clip create those shots for themselves? Not many at all. You put them in a garbage system on a bad team, where they basically are the offense, they're not going to produce.

Kobe's averaging 27 ppg while taking contested jumper after contested jumper. People should appreciate the amount of work he's put in and continues to put in at the age of 36 with limited athleticism.

Nah off the top of my head Derozan, Joe Johnson, Manu, Tyreke Evans, Jamal Crawford can all do it pretty easily if they got the green light.

Itt

Getting off 25 shots a game in the nba is easy and anyone can do it

[chris02jammers]

His blind fanboys and the idiotic LA media created this monster that can do no wrong.

leBron shooting 25 FGA will be averaging 30 - 33ppg

.

False. Most NBA two guards can create their own shot on a consistent basis. That's how virtually all of them got to NBA in the first place.
