- Kobe Bryant is just 2/37 on 3pt attempts over his last 16 games. He's never been the greatest 3 pt shooter but still solid. extremely weird.
he's at a point where he doesn't give a crap about FG%, 3FG% or whatever bs stat people want to throw around to discredit people. Bryant always shoots halfcourt shorts with 1 sec on the shotclock, he doesn't care about how many shots he takes because he knows he can make them, especially when it matters. Ironically Bryant has been playing unlike anything I've ever seen from a 17 y/o vet (think of the mileage) and remember that MJ's wizard's days was Jordan's like 16th season. Just the fact that the defense respects Bryants shot and knows he will take it frees up so much space for Bryant, which is why if you actually watch the games Bryant's been getting to the rim at will especially during crucial stretches of games. Watch the last 2 min of the last game where he hit the 5 ft game winner.
John Salmons is 19/28 from the 3 point line in the last 5 games including hitting 6 in one quarter against the Pelicans and 4 (including one 4 point play) in 1 quarter against the Magic
This isn't a random stat, but a random question. Are the Raptors an international team being that it's in Canada? Is the NBA a 2 country sport? How do the Raptors fans feel that they are the only NBA team not from the United States? Why don't they have their own league? Y don't we have any teams from mexico? Tijuana Tigers. They will have San Diego fans.
