Kobe Haters should watch these early 2007 games and listen to every commentator saying "Only 18 shots a game? He needs to get back to the 27 shots a game he's been taking." The Lakers, at times, have needed Kobe to light it up. And with this scrub ass team of course he was gonna fill it up. It's the only reason they won games.

[@shakimshabazz3315]

Its no explaining. To hate on Kobe is a built up anger of tnemselves not amounting to shit. They were born haye free. But sin brought the hate on. He could score 150 points and they still will hate.

Many times during this part of Kobe's career, he'd be the "bailout" to avoid shot clock violations. So he was forced to shoot many difficult shots.

[@derekdelgado6516]

C Howard shots lebron avoids but even the full court prayers lebron a legend but when they bring up kobe fg pct they dont consider those. fscts and his last 2 seasons were awful and old hurt kobe!!

Derek Delgado - they also don't bring up that Kobe played injured. They don't bring up that Kobe wasn't afraid to take desperation shots to avoid a 24 second violation or end of quarter heaves.

[@derekdelgado6516]

C Howard exactly if you take those shots away and kobe last 2 years he would be over 50% easily because he would get 3 or 4 misses per game on those sometimes more!!

[@grantrmoore]

Derek Delgado U guys r 100% right Kobe was the bailout guy when the offense failed.. And yeah man Kobe should of retired after the achilles injury in 2013.. After that he killed his stats as a shell of his former self.. But what do you say? Kobe's competitive drive, determination, and passion for the game wouldn't allow him to walk away.

[@GoatReactz]

Many times. Try his while career. This did this even his last season. His last game even. He would try to get them going then when 4 seconds hits the clock they pass it back. That fucks up your fg %. Bunch of broken plays and bailout shots.

Taylor 2715 the way you know it’s weaker is an older Kobe was able to dominate the league long after his generation retired.

[@albertmorales3233]

This was yet another occasion where if Kobe was on the floor, you were never out of it. He was an absolute scoring machine who could score from, literally, ANYWHERE on the floor against anybody; he’s the greatest scorer I’ve ever seen. Most people (haters) would look at the amount of field goal attempts, but given the quality of teammates Kobe had, he needed to shoot/score as much as much possible to give those Lakers teams (2005-‘06 & 2006-‘07) a chance to win; his prime was certainly not fulfilled.

True. But how bad was this team compared to LeBron in the Cavs from 2007-2010? They were always knocking on the door.

[@ciyma]

Oliver Sanvictores I'm sure if kobe was a couple inches taller an a bit stronger he would turn into a better version of lebron. Kobe is limited by what he has in terms of physical ability. Kobe has better skills than lebron. Kobe has a better shot, (in my opinion) better court vision, and can defend other 2-guards with ease. LeBRON IS GREAT; but when comparing them, people have to realize lebron has an size advantage over kobe... an MJ... and many others.

Kobe should have had a triple-double this game, kwame Brown messed up 2 open layups Kobe passed to him at the end of the game. So pity Kobe had to play with those worst bums in the NBA. In addition, Kobe dropped 50+ so many times against Battier, one of the best defensive players in the NBA, who locked down Lebron with shitty stats lol

[@Lex02615]

See the difference? When kobe scores extremely high, it’s usually out of necessity because he has no choice but to carry the team most of the time especially that 81 point game. Star players nowadays *cough* *harden* *cough* either stay in the game despite having a comfortable lead or stay in the game to reach their ppg despite a blowout game. That’s stat padding. Kobe is different.
