Why nobody would average 50 today

[FunkDoc1112]

Kobe averaged 35 with Chris mihm, kwame brown, and smush Parker on the floor. You don’t think he’d eclipse harden with today’s typical spacing lineups? Kobe wouldn’t shoot more 3s if he came up in this era, given that being what the best players do? This is my point. We’re going back and comparing advanced stats and they don’t account for the era. I know Kobe is better than harden and if his 35 ppg year was in 2018, it likely would’ve been higher and/or more efficient.

The efficency Harden maintained while taking that many shots had only been done by MJ. How much better do you think a guy who was a worse shooter and had a worse shot diet and never even reached Harden's efficiency numbers even in good offensive environments would do? Harden's performance that year in relative terms was already unprecedented. What makes Harden worse as a player impacts him more in the playoffs than in the regular season, where he performed at a level that frankly Kobe never had., and that includes years before the scoring explosion. It's basically similar to David Robinson vs Hakeem, where DRob pup up more impressive regular season numbers because the regular season allows his strengths to exceed his flaws.

KOBE AVERAGRD 35.4 IN AN ERA WHEN THE LEAGUE AVERAGE WAS 97 PPG

EASILY THE MOST IMPRESSIVE SCORING SEASON IN THE 3 POINT ERA

FOR REFERENCE, TEAMS ARE AVERAGING 115 PPG NOWADAYS


HE ALSO WENT AN ENTIRE MONTH AVERAGING OVER 40 PPG



IM NOT SAYING HE'D AVERAGE 50 IN THIS SOFT ASS ERA, BUT HE WOULD DEFINITELY BE ABOVE 40

So let's use your example of Kobe averaging 40 for a month..

In your opinion, what stopped him from doing it the entire year?
We know how crazy competitive Bean is/was.
Did he just say "fukk it" I'm not going to strive to do it for a year?

Same I ask people that say KD is 7foot scoring monster that's unstoppable on the offensive end and his offensive game is better than LeBron(I agree)but their career scoring averages are identical.

Does guys like KD/Kobe who are "unstoppable " just stop themselves for no reason?
I also find it funny people as say"easily or if he wanted to"

Or is it what the video is saying?

Kobe prioritized winning over averaging points per game, he probably could average 40 if it was a necessity to winning games. KD was never on that type of time, he’s too timid and protective of his field goal percentage.

Defense, teammates, winning/losing.
The video talked about it all together..which is why someone averaging 50 won't happen..and it's not as easy as people say "Kobes/MJ/etc"" best scoring season and just add another 8-9 points because of "x,y,z era".

Even if someone goal was to do it and only focus on that..the other team, your teammates, other normal game flows, how many minutes are you playing per night, usage rate, your defensive assignments, etc.wouldn't allow it every night..it's a simple concept that people argue against for no real reason.

BECAUSE ITS NOT WHATS BEST FOR THE TEAM IN THE TRIANGLE OFFENSE

HE COULDA EASILY DID IT BUT GETTING THE OTHER GUYS GOIN IS MORE IMPORTANT WHEN YOUR GOAL IS TO WIN

SOMEONE LIKE LEBRON WOULD FOR SURE SACRIFICE WINNING TO ACCOMPLISH THAT IF HE HAD THE CAPABILITIES

You just admitted to everything the video stated...teammates, defense, winning/losing/ usage rate/minutes on the floor, etc..
Hence why it isn't "easy ".

We don't/won't see it because it has no real lasting impact on the game overall.

I said 40, I don’t know about 50.

ONLY BECAUSE OF THE SYSTEM

IT WOULD WORK IN A FREE FLOWING OFFENSE ALA DANTONI'S 7 SECONDS OR LESS

PRIME KOBE AVERAGES 40+ IN THAT SYSTEM EASY

We all love Kobe..even in the video it pointed out his best ppg was because his teammates were the worst and that's all he did was try to score..

We talk about when dude tore his achilles by literally trying to do everything and being ran into the ground just to make the playoffs.

40 or 50 anit happening...either you have great teammates that will automatically take points away..or you are getting ran into the ground trying to do everything.

U TALKIN ABOUT A GUY WHO WENT 62 IN 3 QUARTERS N SAT THE 4TH BECAUSE HE CLAIMED HE WOULD GET 80 "ANOTHER TIME"

ILL SAY IT AGAIN.. U TAKE LEBRON'S MINDSET N MIX IT WIT KOBES SKILLSET, HES UNEQUIVOCALLY AVERAGING 40+ FOR MULTIPLE SEASONS

Bean has always been great in a slower system..we all talk about his mid range, foot work, one on one.
Again just saying put Kobe in a system where the goal is to get "a shot up in 7 secs" we don't know what the hell that even looks like..and that example of said system was for "anyone " with a clean look..

HE WAS A GREAT SCORER IN EVERY WAY.. HALF COURT, RUN N GUN, DIDNT MATTER

A FREE FLOWING OFFENSE WOULDA BENEFITED HIS SCORING TREMENDOUSLY IN HIS PRIME

HE PLAYED IN ONE FOR THE FIRST TIME AT 33 YEARS OLD AND AVERAGED 28 PPG AFTER PLAYING IN A HALF COURT OFFENSE AT 32 THE YEAR PRIOR AND AVERAGING 25 PPG

We are talking about Kobe because what we feel about his scoring ability and what that looks like to average 40-50 today..not about LeBron!!

Even during those scoring outburst that year, it's not sustainable..
We know because he couldn't do it even when he was doing shyt we hadn't seen.
