Why is Kobe considered a good 3pt shooter?

[10bandz]

33% is bad and it is far from good.

when Kobe played the average 3 point percentage in the NBA hovered between 34-36%. So he was slightly below average....MJ was at 32% who gives a shyt. If Kobe was born in 95 and played today he'd be a better 3 point shooter.

 

[10bandz]

yall just look at the percentages and judge everything based off that

there's a reason why he made 12 threes in a single game

Kobe was a really good 3pt shooter but the numbers don't reflect that cuz he never really gave a fukk about stats like yall do

oh yeah i forgot he had tied the record at the time for 3's in a game

you posted a gif from preseason though, post achilles injury

at least post some shyt from back in the day, like those airballs against Utah

My bad

 

[CHICAGO]

HE WAS A GOOD 3P SHOOTER.

HE TOOK A ALOT OF TOUGH/DUMB HERO BALL SHOTS.

YOU WOULDNT DARE SAG OFF OF HIM
AND GIVE HIM AN OPEN THREE
LIKE SOME OTHER NBA STARS.

On topic Kobe was a very good shooter. But Kobe was a great all around scorer who should've been more efficient than he was so his shooting gets overlooked.

classic 18 year old Kobe

OP, I just realized, how do you define a "good" 3-point shooter? Too me, 38% from 3 makes you a good 3-point shooter.
35-37 makes you average, anything lower makes you bad.
Is everyone working under different definitions of good here?

He must have taken a 1,000 dumb/hero ball shots to torpedo his 3-point percentage from good to 33%.

Shaq was an excellent free throw shooter, his percentage was just bad cause he didn't give a fukk about percentages

bron stans making things up so everyone forgets that a weak Celtics team has the King on the ropes

Bullshyt thread.


Kobe played in eras with:

Reggie Miller
Steve Nash
Ray Allen
Robert Horry
Peja Stojakovic

No one was saying he was a 3-pt gawd.

The only thing anyone said was that Kobe was good from anywhere.

He was decent/good...not "really" good.

Before this thread I’d never heard anyone brag about Kobe’s 3 point shooting.

You don't visit The Coliseum often then

Shaq was an excellent free throw shooter, his percentage was just bad cause he didn't give a fukk about percentages

his point was that while kobe could be a good shooter from beyond the arc, sometimes he would just throw up shots because either

1. his team was trailing
2. he took shots when he was being doubleteamed, trippleteamed
3. he was willing to take shots nobody else was willing to take

bottom line is he didn't play like a bytch who puts his stats before his team

 

[The Fire]

he played with trash ass spacing.. Derek Fisher really spread that floor
Imagine kobe on a team like the rockets or cavs. he’d be a sniper
