Interesting, can you name 2 guards on any NBA team averaging 20 pts a game over any season?


Just a guess not looking at stats...magic, lebron, jordan, wade, westbrook...

Lebron is not a guard and I said 2 guards on the same team in the same NBA season.

Am I the only one gushing at the amazing ball movement we saw from our team last night?

I'm as big of a Kobe apologist as exists anywhere but I'd really love to see more play like we got from our team last night. Everybody was involved and they thoroughly looked like they were enjoying themselves out there.

Now for the next challenge and that's to be able to play like that against a strong WC opponent like the Spurs, Clippers or Thunder.
Sometimes being wrong is awesome!!! :D

Oh I see where you are getting at...no two guards have ever averaged 20 points on the same team...in a season. But come on, nash and kobe are not your typical guards on the same team...they are two mvp recipients and guaranteed hall of famers, extremely gifted on the offensive end, who are still playing at an elite level. Each averaging 20 points has more to do with kobe ball stopping and not sharing the ball than it has to do with both guys being guards.

Any way my point had more to do with nash averaging more points with kobe out...taking some of the scoring load. I never said anything about averaging 20 and 10 for the season because scoring is not his thing unless the team needs it...and with kobe out the team needs him to score. This blake/jamison streak you can only depend on for so long.

You are expecting something that hasn't happened historically and blaming Kobe for that. Even in his best seasons Steve has only attempted like 13.5 FGs and never gone beyond 18.5 PPG, this even on a successful team without Stoudemire.

You need to think about what you are suggesting before spamming the same rhetoric time and again in everyone of your posts.

Jordan, Wade, Mgic?

Bron isn't a G so he's out.
Wade has never been a 10apg guy, and he plays his way into shape thus his scoring averages being low.
Jordan averages less assists and more shots than Kobe all while Pippen did passing and defending :lol:
Magic is a maybe, but he is not really a 20ppg game in his career, nor is he a playmaking duty sharer.

I can see Westbrook, really could. Parker is another guy who would probably kick ass with Kobe

It ignores that we are overly hot from 3. I'm also interested in seeing a game where the 3 doesn't fall without Kobe as the 3 ball has been the saving grace of Steve and Steve. We really haven't gotten midrange and scoring by drives without Kobe. We are living by that 3 heavily

I mean we hit 13 vs Indy and they raeely give up double digit 3s

Live by 3, die by it ... Reason Kobe has to run the O primarily, same with Pau, over Nash and Dwight

there Kobe haters all over world who want to question the current strategy to get the ball out of Nash hands, you see him just get in there and get trapped and leads to turnover after turnovers?

West and Goodrich averaged over 20ppg multiple times.

I only said around 20 and 10 while kobe is out...some other dude said for a season...not sure why you think this is something I have been saying all along.

I will call out kobe every time if I find he is inefficient or not sharing the ball enough. You can call that rhetoric all you want. Shooting 11 for 33 is something I will blame kobe on all day. Kobe does not get a pass just because he is in the GOAT conversation.
