More like AI towards the end of his career big stats but no impact, he's seeing less doubles and his big games have no impact on whether they win or lose.

The Lakers are 1-10 when Bean scores 30+ this year, that pretty much says it all. We know Bean is one of the greatest scorers to ever do it, the knock has always been he has never figure out how to play team ball and quite frankly never will. Look at all the talent around him, even with Gasol and Nash out. Kobe and D-Ho and they are this pathetic???

People are so full of a shyt with kobe, it's truly amazing sometimes....even after all these years of pathetic kobe hate...the nikka's putting up 29 5 5 in his 17th year on like 61% TS% and he's washed up and having no impact? 
....the squad routinely has double digit negative +/- when he leaves the floor...worse yet, I remember people on here arguing me down to death just a couple weeks ago about how "bulletproof" kobe is from criticism 
....between shyt like this and how people spent the entirity of him joining the 30K Club, not as an occassion of appreciation for seeing one of the greats cross a milestone but as a way to downplay it as much as possible...might be one of the most under appreciated all time greats in sports history

Numbers can absolutely lie if you're an idiot who either doesn't watch the games and don't know how to interpret the numbers, or are deliberately being intellectually dishonest to push a false narrative...in games that they've lost this year he's played significantly more minutes (damn near half a quarter more)...the correlation is him playing more minutes trying to catch the team up, as opposed to in wins where he's resting on the bench with a leadmean lie women lie numbers never lie,

Kobe has never shot this well, and statistically he's having one of his best seasons, yet he's making no impact?..
..sounds like just another way to downplay greatnessKobe scored 42 and we still lost to the Cavs..thats says much more about the impact of the rest of the team than Kobe...
not too mention Iverson only averaged over 20 once in the last 7 years of his career...

Cool, what about the wins? What about the fact he has one of the worst assist to turnover ratios in the league and he's playing with the "best center in the league". Kobe scored 42pts on 26 shots, had 5 turnovers, a bare minimum of 40 possessions and even more where he touched the ball and all he had to show for it was 2 assists. When he acts as a facilitator first and scorer second, they win, when he tries to black out and win the game himself, they lose. Teams are winning in spite of his big games because they slow everyone else down, and he doesn't seem to notice it.
AI averaged 33ppg, 7apg and shot 45% from the field, his team was 35-47. There's something to be said about dominating the ball and putting up hollow stats in losses.

Kobe has never been a facilitator in his career...he has always dominated the ball..the only difference between then and now is we knew how to properly rotate on defense back then...other than that, he's playing the most efficient basketball he's ever played...this whole "when kobe scores 30" shyt is bullshyt...those loses where Kobe score 3-+ could had easily been W's had we played proper D..most of those losses have absolutely nothing to do with Kobe scoring an efficient 30 or more

So, how is he similar to the Wizard's Jordan again?
No, the difference then and now is that the entire defense doesn't have to devote their entire attention to him when he's scoring, he's not going to beat you with a big scoring night anymore. And he's actually not playing the most efficient ball of his career, but why let facts get in the way of hyperbole. He's scoring efficiently in losses sure, but he's absolutely dominating the ball and giving the other team extra possessions with his turnovers.
In wins - Assists 6.7 turnovers 2.8
In losses - Assists 3.5 turnovers 4.5
So because he's never been a facilitator he gets a pass for not setting up teammates? He gets a pass for turning the ball over 5 times a game in losses. I'm not blaming him for all their losses, but to sit here and applaud him when they win, and then say it's not his fault when they lose is a joke, especially when it seems his big scoring nights have no positive impact on wins. He literally cannot lose to you, if they win it's Kobe's doing, if they lose and he shoots 9-24 it's because his teammates weren't doing anything, if he loses and scores big while giving the other team 5 extra possessions it's not his fault.
The numbers say when he balances out being a scorer and facilitator they're better, their defense is bad sure, but your best player giving up the rock 5 times in losses doesn't help that defense much either.
