At old age, Mike dropped 50 points; Kobe dropped 50 airballs

[ALonelyDad]

Yeah but that's dumb.

The years that Jordan did play, even at his old age, he was still putting up 3,000 minute seasons. Which is right in line with almost any other full-time player.
And Michael did it even at 39 years old.

MJ shot 45% on the way out.
Kobe shot 37% last year and is shooting 33% this year.

Minutes on the court don't explain that.
And if that's the problem, then stop playing his ass 30 minutes a game if he clearly can't handle it.

You guys can't have it both ways.
And add up Michael's college career if you wanna compare this years bullshyt.

nothing stranger than when that one shot actually went in

What about Duncan

The sheer number of points are down.
But his rate stats are all relatively the same.

Still a 50% shooter.
Still averages about 3 assists per game.
Still averages about 8-9 boards per game.
Still plays about 30 minutes per game.

serious question is byron scott the worst coach in NBA history?

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

He can barely get the ball to the rim.

Absolutely no legs under him.

The worst part is he dont know how to fall back and let the young nikkas take it.

Because if you're going to insist on taking a starting roster spot and play 30 minutes a game at the team's detriment, you don't get to claim a disability.
If you're out there on those terms, you better perform.

Otherwise retire, or take that 15 minute per game role off the bench and fall back

What about Duncan

He is the spurs 4th best player

10/8 is an indication that he dodged father time?

 

[dtownreppin214]

this is sad.

Why can't he use his killer instinct to play better?

30 mins is coaching decision, not his. Lets start Swaggy P because that is a great upgrade
