Honestly kobe shooting 45% is crazy with him taking these ridiculous ass shots

[@gray6414]

imagine if he took the shots many superstars take today (eg. James harden Steph curry). Would have been one of the most accurate knockdown shooters in our league as he would have definitely worked on his three with his mentality.

[@wannabeserpento99]

@@gray6414 Stop talking bs, it's Kobe's own fault that he takes bad shots, which is why he's inefficient compared to other superstar guards. You're speaking like Curry is taking easy shots, man runs through 3 screens and does 5 crossovers to get a shot off from 30 feet.

[@gray6414]
