Kobe: "I freaking suck"

[K.Y.R.I.E]

-- Kobe Bryant harshly criticized himself after his third straight poor performance to open the regular season, his 20th with the Los Angeles Lakers.

"I'm the 200th-best player in the league right now," Bryant said after the Lakers' 103-93 loss to the Dallas Mavericks at Staples Center on Sunday, during which Bryant scored 15 points on 3-of-15 shooting from the floor. "I freaking suck."

"I just can't make a shot," said Bryant, who was ranked No. 93 in ESPN's #NBArank project

"Maybe. Just playing like s--- right now, that's all," Bryant said. "I'm getting the shots I want. Just got to make them."

Bryant, 37, didn't blame fatigue or his health or shot selection.

"At some point you've just got to say to hell with all of that and just figure out how to put the ball in the hole," Bryant said.

He's right.

I hope he retires after this year. I can't support and defend him for another year

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Should've already retired

It still doesn't stop him from taking those awful shots.

this is the most helpless i've ever heard kobe sound. usually he'll make some smug or slick remark and brush off his bad shooting nights like he's not worried. but now he finally seems to realize he's not going to escape the firm grip of father time.

He kinda did.

Last game against the Kings he took 12 shots and last night he took 15. Neither night did he lead the team in attempts.

I look at this shyt I really want him to get going but I'm almost certain he wont. shyt the nikka a hunnid years old. What's James Harden's excuse tho?

It's gonna be sad to watch him go out like this....

Harden has averaged 25+ PPG on 60%+ TS the past 3 seasons, his current form is an anomaly. Kobe's been done since he got hurt against the Warriors, the 3-15 nights are par for the course.
