Incredible Stat Shows Just How Important Kobe Bryant Was To The Lakers

The 2005-06 season is a great example of just how much the Lakers needed Bryant in the side. During the season without Kobe Bryant, the Lakers had an offensive rating of 92.4 which is equivalent to the third worse offense in NBA history.

With Bryant on-court, the rating was at 111.3 and had the third-best offensive rating in the league. While he was off the court, the Lakers rating was dead last in the league and had a massive 18.9 lower difference. For a comparison to show just how big of a difference this is, one of the next closest to Kobe in 2006 is LeBron James in the 2009-10 season where there was a 15.3 offensive difference.

The two teams that have a lower offensive rating than 92.4 are the 1976-77 Knicks and the 2002-03 Nuggets who won just 17 matches over the season and was led by Nene, Juwan Howard and James Posey.

well look what we have here? An analytic that backs up our eye test.

Lakers fans been saying that we've never seen anything like what Kobe Bryant did in 2005-06 when he took a team with guys like Kwame Brown, Luke Walton, and Smush Parker in the starting lineup to the playoffs in the Western Conference. And now we got an analytic backing that up. I wonder why we never heard this stat before? Considering all the stats the analytics nerds like to push to diminish Kobe, I wonder how many analytics like this they are hiding that shows just how DOMINANT Kobe Bryant really was in his prime.

2005-06 Kobe Bryant is the best basketball player of all-time next to 1990-91 Jordan. Those years are the two highest levels human beings have ever reached playing the game of basketball.

06 Kobe the highest form of basketball player I ever seen with my own eyes. I ain’t see early 90s Jordan but I’m sure that’s the only thing better.

We know what we saw....:bishop:

Give thanks and praises to the one shooting gawd.....:wowkobe:

I wonder why all the cacs who love analytics are avoiding this thread like the plague?

 

[G-Zeus]

Not sure why people should argue one of the greatest individual season in history....he beasted

 

[Mars]

Not surprising. Kobe avg 27.2 shots per game and played with mostly garbage players.

05-06 Kobe is the most complete offensive and entertaining players ever.

5 star thread. Haters always like to handpick stats in their attempts to minimize Goatbe's accomplishments

I salute the op for finding analytics that accurately portray Kobes greatness, no surprise he had the 2nd best season ever behind only Mike. Coincidentally it looks like all the homosexuals that post on here are avoiding this thread
