Discuss Kobe's "chucking" during games.

[YugoRocketsFan]

He chucks a lot vs less quality teams.

[Check my Stats]

I am sure this thread is directed right at me I don't care, Kobe is a chucker now, you posting stats won't change my mind/opinion.

Kobe shot over 46% in around 38.5% of games where he shot 20-24 shots.

 

Kobe shot over 46% in around 66% of games where he shot over 25 shots. But only 25% of those games were against teams with over 50 wins. 41.6% of those games were against teams with over 45 wins.

Kobe has been chucking. But keep in mind how many of his shots are late in the 24 bail the team out jumpers. When nothing works the default late in the 24 is give it to Kobe and see what he can do, because no other Laker starter can create off the dribble. He's also hurt by having no point guard that can draw the defense and set him up. The vast majority of the time Bryant has to create his own looks. Fault for that rests with Kupchak, Jackson and Fisher/Farmar. Have a 1 that's at least competent instead of the pure crap they have and Kobe's chucking decreases and his fg% goes up.

Thanks for watching the games.

No one is arguing that. I'm just confused what your intentions were when you made this thread.

 

To me it seems like you're trying to show Kobe shoots well when he takes a lot of shot attempts, but that really isn't the case. You left out games he shot over 30 shots (on purpose?), and didn't include games he shot 20-24 shots, which is still a lot of attempts.

20-24 is around his average in the playoffs (during the championship runs).

 

Over 30 shots is ridiculous anyway, most of the time.

 

I'm talking the 25-30 shot attempts that Bryant takes and people say are way too many (above his average)...he doesn't shoot poorly most of the time, and he's efficient.

 

Sadly, they also don't watch the Lakers and have no idea why he takes that many in the first place.
