"He's taking shots he shouldn't be taking and passing up shots he should be taking. He's trying some real tough shots -- I wouldn't say they're forced because he can hit almost anything -- but he's not hitting them consistently. He should be taking an awful lot of shots in practice." The problem with Kobes shot selection is right there in his statement, KOBE CAN HIT ANYTHING. Kobes just that d*** confident/that cocky in his abilities, that he thinks he can make every shot, and should. He thinks hes just that good and if he thinks he can make it, he'll take it. His shot selection will only improve if he has capable players around him. Other than that his shot selection will always be bad at times. Thats nothing new, either way his positive abilities far outweigh the negative. As for Kobe taking more shots in practice, seems a little strange to me. Kobe has always been known as one of if not the hardest working player in the NBA and to say he needs to practice more seems a little odd, but then again Tex does have a closer view of Kobe and his game. “He’s playing a scattered game,” Winter said. “He’s taking shots he shouldn’t be taking and passing up shots he should be taking.
