am i the only one that is not impressed by kobes 40 point

[Shot Clock]

Now if they LOSE those games, everyone has every right to hate on Kobe. But they have WON those 3 games where he scored 40+, and wins are what matters.

And for the heck of it, here are some of MJ's games at age 33:

36 point on 34 shots: http://www.basketball-reference.com/box ... 40NJN.html

36 points on 31 shots: http://www.basketball-reference.com/box ... 90NYK.html

44 points on 32 shots: http://www.basketball-reference.com/box ... 30UTA.html

But was anyone on Michael's sack? Nah MJ's still the GOAT

Conveneintly ignored the 50 point games

Or the fact you won't find consecutive 30 FGA games let alone 3 in a row.

Or the fact that most of his came against very good teams like NY and Utah (also Miami)

Kobe has always been a guy that feasts on bad teams in the regular season. Most of his notable accomplishments are based on that.

Why the need to constantly try and compare him to Jordan. Drop it, the comparison is superficial.

I know a player who won 2 MVP's feasting on bad teams in the regular season and choking in the playoffs
That player had beaten in the playoffs only 1 good team(over 50 wins) in 7 years as the man on his own team


Do you know who I'm talking about?

To be fair he did beat Chicago last year pretty much by himself.

Dwayne Wade scored 12 points on 14 shots tonite. I haven't seen any threads about people not being impressed by that.

Lol

Why would I care?

[entmedia]

Lol, how do you haters put yourself to sleep knowing that Kobe's drop 40 left and right? Contriving all these new perspectives to make his game look bad

Get a life

40+PPG on 50% shooting with a torn ligament on his wrist - I don't see what the issue is...

[Roger Murdock]

Hes scoring efficiently and thats nice, but he probably shouldnt be shooting 28 times a game when Pau and Bynum combined are only taking 25.

Well to be fair, start of 4th quarter Pau was with the 2nd unit and was content on not being aggressive by not looking for his shot, thus allowing the cavs to go on that big run...Kobe can't spoon feed Pau and can't force Pau to be something he's not. Andrew is the one that should be fed in the post much more.

[nadalwon2012]

i agree with raja bell as well.

Kobe is great no doubt BUT

give 30 shots to Nowitzki, carter, lebron, ray allen, pierce, garnett, tmac, ai, etc , etc....
They`ll put up good numbers as well.

Not great, but great at attempting shots. He's Iverson. He used to be better than Iverson when he played better defense. Now he's just Iverson.

[RatherUnique]

My thing with Kobe has always been his efficiency.

40 points in three consecutive games on over 50% shooting is extremely impressive for a guy on a bum shooting wrist in his 16th year with over 40k minutes on his knees. Extremely impressive. His longevity is remarkable.

[TheExpert91]

At this point we all understand that Kobe is trying to send a message. I mean 3 straight 40 point games??
The fact that hes taking so many shots and he isn't using his big men gives us reasons to undervalue his performances.
