What would have Kobe's FG% in playoffs been...

[tazb]

30-40% range.

[The Real JW]

In the weaker Eastern conference? I don't know. 47-52%? Who can really say.

[bukowski81]

The Drating of the east teams is higher because most of their games are played against the weak ass east teams

[gengiskhan]

if he played on the tough East throughout his career.
Year after year after year its more and more obvious where real D is played. Lets say that instead of Suns, Hornets, Jazz' weak ass D he had to go through Bulls, Pistons who humiliated him in 2004, Hawks, Celtics, Pacers and so on.
You can say whatever you want. You can say how is it tough to get a playoff spot on the West and stuff like that, but its very clear to me that the only place where D is being played is the East.
So my guess is no more than 38%FG.

Kobe is a 42-43%FG shooter in all realism.

Even his 45%FG is INFLATED cuz of Shaq double team first 7 yrs & West Conf offense only & playing 4 more times @ HOME compare to every other superstars (all LAL "home" games are LAL "AWAY" games too @ staples center )

Kobe in East conf is 6'0" Iverson like 42%FG for career! especially in his younger years.

A lot lower than his already pathetic 44.7%fg.

[34-24 Footwork]

If Kobe didn't Have Shaq/Gasol/Odom/Bynum/Pau etc drawing 2+ defenders to them allowing Kobe to shoot half open/half defended shots most of the time...E.g. Drafted career in milwaukee/washington/cleveland he would end up having to actually play in the system because no one would allow him to go 1 on 1 because they would end up getting blown out every night plus Kobe would get a beat down by his team mates after the game.

Mods??

[Screamin A Smit]

Kobes fg% is actually worse against eastern teams career wise

[riseagainst]
