Kobe hasn't been clutch since Shaq left.

Jesus his teammates bailed him out so many times

MJ was better...



at age 40

 

[madness]

He 36 coming off 2 season ending injuries, playing to many damn minutes and is on a trash squad what y'all expect?

when he was 24 years old he was going 17 for 47 while playing on championship-contending Laker teams. what was the excuse then?

yall need to stop pretending like kobe shooting/bricking too much is some sudden development that's a byproduct of old age, injuries and garbage teammates...the nikka has been doing it his entire career

Kobe hasn't been clutch since Shaq left.

you all forget so easily:







all three of these were in a two month span and he was averaging like 30+ a game.


Kobe earned the right to take these shots. Should he stop? Probably. But you can't deny what he has done.

I have called him Kobe Favre before and this season is eerily reminiscent of Favre's 05 season where he threw 29 picks. Favre was 36 that season as well . Like Favre it seems as if he has become more dead set on forcing the issue as he's gotten older despite the diminishing returns.
