Nowitzki was averaging over 50 percent in the so called fabled era with jumpshots and 3s as a big man, yet was never efficient, again i ask why wasnt kobe and AI shooting like that? Okay lets go to 2012/13 season when kobe made his last first team all nba selection and was still recognized as a top 10 player in the league, why didnt he shoot over 50 percent then if that era was no defense? It literally doesnt make sense, that lakers team were above .500 and were in the playoffs. Why was he still not efficient?

all the juelzing from kobe stans because their idol was a volume scorer who occasionally got hot. they like to tout the difficult shots he made and talk about eras when the 2 goats shot 50% for their careers

They claim the reason he couldnt shoot efficiently above 50 percent was because of the tough fabled defense in the early 2000s, despite nowitzki, wade and nash all doing it , then i point out that in the early 2010s 2009,2010,2011,2012 he didnt either in the so called easier defense era then there is no excuse.
Same for AI he played 2009,10,11 yet was never efficient, they come up with all type of excuses for their favorite players

bad comparison by way of:

stats dont matter
you can shoot 40 times, the ones that count are the ones that win games


you can shoot 60 times on my team, as long as you win in the end
carmelo was amazing but the opposite, he didnt nail daggers like that

I say Kobe and AI is bad comparison because Kobe always did it
Iverson had short prime with gunning and it working

back then you played a role, if I knew you were gunning, im playing D and spotting up
grabbing boards and resetting offense. Ill get points off misdirection and using you as a decoy 10% of the other time

like on old hawks... im giving the ball to Joe Johnson, just go off and im here

It's absolutely fair to criticize players for being inefficient.

That said, they still provided value and were really good players.

Having bad teammates is never a good excuse for taking bad shots or making sub-optimal decisions. But that's the stans' default defense of this sort of thing. You'd never praise a guy swinging on 3-0 because the on deck guy hits .230.

Here’s Lebrons fg% by distance

0-3:73% 3-10:43% 10-16:36% 16-3p: 38% 3p:34%

35%
of his attempts comes from 0-3 feet. An overwhelming majority

Now compare that to Kobe

0-3: 63% 3-10:44% 10-16:43% 16-3p:40% 3p:33%

Kobe was basically more efficient everywhere on the floor. Bron has a slight edge in 3 point shooting because teams give him that :yeshrug:

Kobe was efficient for his era. Op a subhuman.

@Roger king how do you as a man come online begging for change, and then afterwords show your shameful face again to type out with delusional pride what you deem to be deficiencies of other men? Making the thread at an hour where most men who are able to support themselves and their families are resting so they can continue to carry on their responsibilities as men nonetheless?
