Is the idea of Kobe as a chucker, a myth?

Kobe shot 3's which boosts his TS%

Duncan did not.

Reggie Miller has the highest TS% of any Guard for this reason.

Anybody who watched Kobe knows he chucked his ass off breh

GOAT stanchise gettin into the Twitter game out chea fellas. Don’t worry, the coli will remain a secret so bums don’t steal the smileys.

Kobe was no chucker, just a very enthusiastic person when it comes to shooting his shot. Just like his father before him....

True shooting percentage accounts for free throws and big men are always poor foul shooters. Duncan shot his at 69.6% while Kobe shot his at 83.7%. From the field, you’re looking for effective field goal. Duncan was at .507 while Kobe was at .482. Yes Kobe was a chucker.

Fail to contextualize metrics.
It's the coli way

Why do people act like this dude played 40 years ago?? we just saw him play

He was an extreme chucker when he had bad teammates..and he was ‘normal’ when he had good teammates

This is why people hate these analytic nerd ass geek clowns...

You have to watch the games and not just go off stats.

I watched Kobe’s entire career like I watched Tim Duncan’s

Kobe was a fukkin nut the likes of which few have ever been... Tim Duncan was never a nut like Kobe...

fukk outta here with this @Sccit dumb ass Kobe nut hugging propaganda

Kobe was a nut!

this is a classic example of what is wrong with analytics because the person who came up with this has NO FUICKING CLUE what true shooting is and how it's calculated...they just saw that Kobe's and Duncan's true shooting percentage and hit send...

But duncan played the right way right?

And he played the mid block

And he didn't take on double and triple teams

So why are their fg percentages so close
