he is averaging 23 FGA this season. So what would you consider "chucking for a scoring title"?
Keep in mind that Artest and Barnes is out, and if a few other starters may not play, than those FGA numbers will have to go up. So being that he is already averaging 23 FGA and that he has to take more because of all the players out, how many FG attempts would you consider "chucking for a scoring title" tomorrow?

Kobe has shown all season who comes first, his ego or his team.

Hope he doesn't twist an ankle, or something. That wouldn't be funny at all.

I'd honestly have to do a little bit more research and some thinking to answer that question. I think if I could just get a sample of Kobe's DNA I could reproduce every single meaningful life experience that Kobe has gone through, record his reactions in those situations, and combine that data with his FGA for the 2011-12 season, and of course, factor in absent teammates, the opposing team's offensive pace, the weather outside, any potential hecklers sitting anywhere near court-level and within Kobe's dB wave frequency, and then look at what he had for breakfast, and average out his FGA per game after eating said breakfast.

He will go for it especially since he can close Arco down at the same time by going for it, essentially telling the King fans once again y'all my bitch, I own your team and city.

Dude, honestly **** all you guys. Lol. Kobe cares about his legacy. Big time. Definitely not at the cost of rings, but why would him putting up 40 be jeopardizing his chance to get number 6 this year? He needs the run with that extended rest. Might as well go for it. No one's gonna remember in 10 years if he gunned on the last day to do it. They'll just see that dude won the scoring title 16 years into the league, and say, "damn, that was a bad ****."
Lakers fan since 99.

yep, you cant answer the question, or you dont want to because you want to be able to criticize him no matter how many shots he takes.

Here's a fact people need to swallow

Bryant could have sat out vs. San Antonio and Oklahoma City, in order to preserve his lead over Durant. Had Bryant sat out those two games as "all the seasoned superstars and vets" have been doing, his scoring average would still be at 28.07. Durant is at 28.03 after tonights game against Denver. Bryant could have sat out and won the scoring title at the expense of his trying to help his team win vs OKC and SA

I don't care how many shots he takes. I want him to try to beat out Durant, for the lulz.

I can see the old him gunning for it but I honestly feel this older Kobe is either going to sit out or if he plays he's going to play for a few minutes (20 min or so for conditioning, since he's been out for a while and is a bit rusty). A lot of people in this thread may be dissapointed...

This is contradicting with people who hold the argument that he doesn't care about the scoring title cause he is sitting out these few last games. If he plays = he doesn't care about scoring title. If he doesn't play = he doesn't care about scoring title.

I think he cares, just as every other player would. And he, one of the greatest winners ever, clearly cares.

So for people who say Kobe will "chuck to win the scoring title", here is a question:

Kobe is averaging 23 FGA this season. So what would you consider "chucking for a scoring title"? Keep in mind that Artest and Barnes is out, and if a few other starters may not play, than those FGA numbers will have to go up. So being that he is already averaging 23 FGA and that he has to take more because of all the players out, how many FG attempts would you consider "chucking for a scoring title" tomorrow?

Remember, Chucking for the scoring title is not the same as chucking. Some people say he will chuck to win the scoring title, meaning he will shoot more than usual to win. If his usual is 23, than what is "chucking for scoring title". Keep in mind that ATLEAST A STARTER and A KEY BENCH PLAYER wont play probably.

Some people will refuse to answer the question because they want to criticize Kobe tomorrow no matter what.

I mean all-time titles are just about longevity and taking a lot of shots when you shoot at a decent %.


Couldn't be further from the truth. Kareem has all time scoring record shooting .559% from the field for his carer. Yeah, I guess that'a decent percentage and not impressive at all Most players would be lucky as hell to average that for a game!

Karl Malone is 2nd place at .516. That's a heck of alot better than a decent percentage. Even if most nba players played as many minutes as kareem or karl, they wouldn't have gotten the all time scoring title, so no its not just about longevity and shooting a decent percentage, because the top 2 scorers in NBA history shot at a great percentage.

Read: That is not the question. Chucking for the scoring title is not the same as chucking. Some people say he will chuck to win the scoring title, meaning he will shoot more than usual to win. If his usual is 23, than what is "chucking for scoring title".

Some people say Kobe will chuck tomorrow for to try to win the scoring title. Even if you think his average FGA is chucking, that is not the same as "chucking for the sole purpose of winning the scoring title tomorrow".

Lol, again, chucking is not the same as chucking for the scoring title.

:lol: haters dont want to answer the question



:lol:

Answer the question if you think Kobe will chuck tomorrow.
