You right...but Kobe is the
shooting guard. He's the one who is supposed to be hitting those threes and opening up the floor for other people. It's different when you a forward and saying, "none of my guards can hit threes" than when you a shooting guard and making the complaint about your forwards. Kobe was supposed to be the outside threat, the help he needed was on the inside, and for the majority of his career he had plenty down there.
btw, random side effect of me looking up Laker threes in elimination series...
Kobe vs Celtics in 2008: 9-28 from three for series (32.1%)
Kobe vs Magic in 2009: 9-25 from three for series (36.0%)
Kobe vs Celtics in 2010: 15-47 from three for series (31.9%)
Kobe vs Mavs in 2011: 5-22 from three for series (22.7%)
Kobe vs Thunder in 2012: 2-18 from three for series (11.1%)
Kobe's efficiency from outside in the tough playoff series got real bad real fast.
