Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
You're looking at numbers and ignoring circumstances.Kobe Bryant is not gonna take as many shots if he's on the mavs, raptors, Warriors, Bulls, etc. He's not gonna force as many dumb low percentage shot attempts

There's NOBODY in the league that would shoot a good percentage taking the dumb shots that kobe is taking.

If you look at what kobe can do

Create his own shot off the dribble
Draw double teams off the dribble
Draw double teams from the low post
Draw double teams from the high post

Which other guards have this skillset?

He shouldn't get rewarded for taking terrible shots :damn:


Those things are cool, but he can't play defense at a decent level anymore, while others can while providing similar output on offense.

I'm not rewarding him for bad shots

I'm acknowledging that there are players having better statistical performances, doesn't make them better players...this doesn't only apply to kobe, I can give other examples

Everything can't be quantified with stats

Kobe missing a shot off a double team has a better chance of leading to a putback than a wide open miss from monta, harden, etc

Lakers lead the league in percentage of missed shots that turn to offensive rebounds

And those guys aren't giving you similar offensive outputs playing with the lakers cast

Go 30-52 and get props for being a playoff team brehs:childplease:

There's no difference with Jordan being the best 2 guard with the garbage Bulls of 85-87 than Kobe being the best 2 guard now with this talent less team

:camby:

The Lakers won't even get to 30-52, but you'll still be here championing Kobe.


There's no difference? :russ: Yeah, except for the fact Jordan wasn't a shytty defender and was by far the best defender on his team, as well as being the best offensive player. You can stop with the Jordan comparison, they weren't working the first time you tried them breh, wrap it up.

It's not about a Kobe/Jordan comparison. Its about you saying you can't be the best SG in the NBA and not say the team is talented....which is false:camby:

Jordan was, Kobe currently is and Kobe was also the best SG in 2005 on a talent less team as well:ufdup:

How you gonna tell me what I meant?:Nahchillb:

I said you can't call the Lakers a top 5 untalented team in relation to teams like the Sixers, Wolves, Jazz, Hornets, Pistons and Celtics, then turn around and claim they have the best SG in the league since none of those squads has anyone that would be labeled "best in the league" at their positions.

The Bulls made the playoffs that year, which makes the point you're trying to make :camby:The Lakers have offensive talent, they straight up suck on defense, but apparently that's everyone elses fault....

The 86 Bulls made the playoffs....and had the 4th worst record in the NBA at 30-52. They also had the best SG in the NBA:yeshrug:

Kobe doesn't play the best defense in his 19th season, but I never argued that. Just your statement about being the best at your position while also playing on a talent less team:manny:

The roster of the Lakers w/o Kobe is worse than the Hornets, Wolves, and Pistons if you take off each team's best player (AL Jefferson, Ricky Rubio, and Greg Monroe)

Yeah meanwhile the Lakers will be lucky to get 20 wins, with the "best SG in the game" on the team :russ:
20-30 still wouldn't make the playoffs in the west. Here we had 30 win teams making the playoffs in the "golden era" maybe they should've contracted a few teams.

:dead:

Uh, actually they didn't have the best SG in the NBA, Jordan broke his foot and only played 18 games in 85-86, but good job good effort.

Good to know I can put last years Lakers season on Kobe now, thanks for allowing me to add that shyt storm to his resume since you want to include that year for Jordan.
