Kobe Bryant Studying Paul Pierce's Game, Hoping to Be More Efficient

[aboss4real24]

y would u study another player tryn to be efficient wen that player u studying shoots a lower % then u ?

You're better than this. That article is talking about being physically efficient. Using less movement and energy to get his shots off.

no he's not. i have no idea why so many dudes who fukk with kobe fukk with this nikka too. there has literally never been a thread in which he hasn't taken shots at kobe. i can't think of one positive statement he's made concerning kobe.

Kobe about to average 15 4 4 this year

Much respect to Kobe recognizing the greatness of Paul Pierce.

Kobe knows he may not be the same physically....so might as well look at the non athletic dominance of Paul Pierce as a road map.

@Malta is either Chris Childs, Raja Bell, or Dante Jones. Good peoples.

Kobe is my dude though. It will be interesting to see him in this last phase of his career.

Also...Paul Pierce has amazing footwork.

Kobe Bryant = 31,700 points on 24,374 FG attempts. 1.300 points per shot attempt.
Michael Jordan = 32,292 points on 24,537 FG attemps. 1.316 points per shot attempt.

0.016 difference between Kobe and MJ. The only reason Kobe's FG% looks substantially more inefficient than Jordan is because he took nearly 5,000 3pt FGs in his career while Jordan took just 1,700. That lowered his FG% but since he was getting 3 points rather than 2 for those makes, his overall scoring effiency was right there with Jordan.

I would say even without caring about efficiency, Kobe has done well for himself.

ethering that whole inefficiency talk in one post

Is Kobe saying he's throwing away his entire game for Paul's?

even when he was younger paul pierce played like an old skilled guy that really let himself go. he's always had all those fat, slow step backs and spin moves and shyt. and even now that he's and moves like he's underwater half the time, he still uses those moves to get his shot off...and they still work.

dude waited til he's 36 and sick and flabby to focus on being efficient

In the years Jordan made an effort to shoot 3's he shot it at higher %'s than kobe in some of those years

he shot 38%, 35% , 43% and 37%.

the 3pt shot is a rhythm shot. the more you take the more feel of the shot you have.

If Kobe can stay healthy, then I don't see why he can't be more efficient. Kobe emulates MJ and other all time greats moves. Kobe is probably the closet thing we ever seen to MJ. The only question is if he's going to be healthy by next season. With that two year contract he signed, he better come back healthier.
