Kobe: One of the Worst 3-point Shooters Ever

[bwink23]

Kobe currently has 4,472 attempts in his career...good for 7th place on the All-time list for 3-point attempts.

Unfortunately, he shoots an anemic 33.7 FG% from downtown. There have been 18 players in NBA history to attempt 4,000 treys. Kobe is 16th out of 18 players in 3-point FG%. The only 2 guys in history worse than him are Antoine Walker and Baron Davis.

There have also been 57 players in NBA history to attempt 3,000 treys. Again, Kobe is sitting in the basement...he's in a 4-way tie for 47th best in 3-point FG%. His company is Latrell Sprewell, Rasheed Wallace, and Stephen Jackson.

Discuss.

Chuckers gonna chuck. Kobe would have had an Iverson like career if he didn't play next to Shaq.

Kobes fingers have really hurt his 3 pointer in the last few years.

Jordan career 3 point percentage with the real line: 29%

Ouch!

[gtfomyface]

lol? it's not like he takes open 3's all the time, he pretty much always takes contested threes, bailout 3s, and the dumbest shots ever at times, which is the reason for his low percentage, doesn't mean he's a terrible 3 point shooter, just questionable shot selection

[Bladers]

this makes so much sense.

Absolutely. Which is why he won two rings, two fmvps and an mvp without shaq!
