For sure the numbers are skewed… When KB takes alot of shots its normally BC the other Lakers arn’t shooting worth sht!!!

Dingleberry… u might want to rethink this. Tonite is another example that your wrong. Don’t be a lap dog for the MVP. Learn to not worship a player but appreciate.

kobe shoots d ball so often bcause he was paid 4 it.and his a scorer not a point guard.that’s why he ask 4 someone that can play basketball.even the memphis doesn’t trust kwame and miami on smush so do you?so don’t blame kobe 4taking his shot because he is the lakers…..MVP.>…….

Yea, because the Lakers were so better in the previous years when Kobe would force up shots and the Lakers were such a better team when he won the scoring title.

Oh really, then explain Game 4 of the Utah series, when Kobe had 5 great assists to Pau, LO and Fisher that brought the Lakers back from 12 points down with 3 minutes left. Then in OT, Kobe starts hurling shots left and right and the Lakers lose.

Now I know there are many Kobe-only fans here that would love to see Kobe shoot 50 shots a night, but the fact of the matter is, the Lakers are a better squad when Kobe is a distributor, not ONLY a scorer. The fact that the Lakers are now in the Finals demonstrates that the Lakers are a better squad when Kobe trusts his teammates and distributes to them.

Yes i am a kb lover and your a kobe hater… I’m proud I like the best in the game. The fact is Kb starts off passing and if the lakers make there shots he continues to pass if not he shoots. as far as overtime goes every star on there team shoots the ball in OT. Just ask Lebron who shot 23 times in the 4th to win the game…

I’m a Laker FAN. I want to the Lakers to win, PERIOD!!! If YOU ARE NOT a Laker fan, then get the f*ck off this site immediately (this site is for Laker fans!!). Unlike most people on this site, I do not care about individual achievements, I want the Lakers to win PERIOD!!!

With that said, I support Kobe Bryant for the mere fact that he is a Laker. As a matter of fact, I think Kobe is the best player in the world right now. However, much like true enthusiasts, I understand that the Lakers do NOT win when Kobe is heaving up 40 to 50 shots a night. The Lakers are truly a better team when he puts his trust in his teammates and passes them the ball, particuarly when his teammates have open shots.

And to reference Lebron is pathetic. If I knew Lebron personally, I would ask him and he would answer… DO YOU KNOW WHY HE WOULD ANSWER…

Because he is at home right now with nothing to do unlike Kobe who is in the NBA Finals because this year Kobe learned how to trust his teammates, not bash them publicly like he did a year ago, and Kobe also learned that shooting 30+ shots a night will NOT win a championship.

BTW: True Laker fans want to win a championship for the TEAM, not just one man.

Although I do want him to get like 8+ assists a game so he can be a Kobe and a Kobe facilitator.

Why can’t you guys admit that the Lakers are a better team, when Kobe is more of a distributor than a pure scorer?

We all know Kobe can score, but great players are those players that can not only get their own points, but setup their teammates for points as well.

Bc its the truth. KB admits when his team is strugling he does shoot more. also Kb sits more when they have a big lead so obviously his shots will be less…
