Kobe 24 points at the half.

Kobe is quite possibly the most talented player to ever play the game.

He still is a tremendous athlete, and he has no weakness in his offensive game. None, at all. From 0 to 30 feet he has the best range out of any player in NBA history, I'd say, in terms of being able to score well from any spot on the floor. You can't say the same about Jordan.

If Kobe got more love from the refs, there wouldn't even be a discussion on who the best offensive player in the history of the league is.

If you take out his first three years, plus consider the fact that he played with Shaq for most of his career... and he STILL averaged 28.1 PPG after his first three seasons... You have to ask yourself what his average would be if he never played with Shaq ever. More than Jordan's 30ppg? More likely than not.

not to mention , he is a menace..

he punches guys in the face while he's shooting.

that is not nice... i have yet to see him go over and say sorry ...

 

[RobFunk]

58 on 35 shot attempts for a guard...that is amazing.

Thats what impresses me most, he uses the field.

 

[RobFunk]

Anyone else notice Kobe has been doing this on days when there is NCAA hoops?

Almost like his way of saying F college.

:lol:

 

[kobefan08]

i'm not hating . i posted earlier in here that he would be top 12 of all time.

i might lower that to top 10 .

you want to crown him the greatest thing ever..

guys who get 50 with 35 shots a night are :

wade
shaq
duncan
mcgrady
lebron

their are probably more

are you fucking kidding me?

wade- never even scored 50 in the NBA before.. career high 36FGA
shaq- way past his prime, even in his prime never put up big numbers like this.. FT woes
duncan- NO WAY.. not a scorer of this magnitude
mcgrady- bona fide scorer, but not close to kobe's level
lebron - similar to Tmac

 

[crunch99]

It's not about how many attempts you take... it's about how many you make. Kobe has made 55% this past 3 games.....

What if Kobe would of went to Duke? Wonder how that would of affected his career?

 

[WVU]

give him a reach around already guys

 

[RobFunk]

It would have affected his wallet. haha

They have soft rims, he'd probably go for 84 or 85 :missingte

i said with 35 shots ...

shaq and duncan would make 22 or 23 of them . throw in ft's for the rest.

wade, lebron and t mac would make 17 to 20 of them and also throw in ft's and you got 50 .

do you have a kobe blow up doll ?

you're a little too much in love with this guy.

 

[crunch99]

He'd probably be a bust after Ratface got through with him.

 

[WorldNumberOne]

i left off dirk .. he would get 50 no problem with 35 shots..

 

[RobFunk]

Everyone forgets that during the Lakers championship runs, who was picking up the slack and going nutso with scoring when Shaq was out?

Kobe has been the real deal for a long time now.

And I am old school, I hated the bastard back in the day becuase he thought he was so good he could duck school and go to the NBA. Guess I was wrong.

 

[WVU]

kobe may be great at bb, but is he a lifetime craps winner?

lol

 

[Redneckman]

Phil asked him to be a team player, so he did that

Then they (The Lakers) started to go in the tank

So, phil asked him to be more of a scorer --So he is GLADLY showing the world what he can do, per his coach's order.

Greatest pure scorer of all time! He is double teamed the entire game, but still manages to get the majority of his points from the field. It's AMAZING. Kobe has hardly anyone around him.

Rob, I disagree with you all the time in the poli forum, but you nailed it here.

Thanks, that is nice of you.

He Does This To A Very Shitty Mem Team Everytime! Plus Mem Is Missing A Couple Of Starters Also.

 

[WVU]

he is one of those players that you hate to admit being great, but he does prove it time and time again

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

Listen, I am saying Kobe is great, OK.....BUT, where are his assists and rebounds....Oscar Robertson had soooo many triple doubles, it was not even funny....same with Magic......
