1. I don't like to use stats, but I do know how to use them.
2. You didn't answer my question, but your response tells me its shot%, so there you go Kobe IS a deadeye shooter.
3. "Used em right.....apparently you don't" Did I rub your vagina the wrong way or something? My bad. Its not like you made it a clear indicator those were shot stats and not overall fg% stats, I don't use stats so I don't have them memorized and I can't tell if those are overall fg% stats unless I look them up myself which I didn't that is why I asked you.
4. Where is it noted? I don't see it anywhere, you mentioned shot selection, you didn't mention the zone, and you didn't mention Kobe played his entire career without a true playmaker (like Nash).
5. I asked you who and how do we get him, you didn't answer my question you just made another comment about how I rubbed you the wrong way.
I suggest you use vagisil for that stuff.
...I use Basketball-reference.com
I LOVE KOBE...his FG pct IS NOT DEADEYE.....end of story...
Shot selection, and where on the floor are true Barometers of FG%...I doubt anyone would say Tyson Chandler is a Dead-Eye Shooter....
I opened the door with the suggestion with Mike Dunleavy Jr. There are others...
In any case Kobe is my favorite player of all time.....but let's call it as we see it......His shot selection has always brought his efficiency down.....it's just a fact.....
Aother fact is Kobe is a Career .337% 3 point shooter.....that doesn't even crack the top 250 of All-Time.
I've watched a ton of those misses at the end of games because he had to FORCE a 3....But with another option ala NASH, at the end of games there are choices. incidentally NASH is # 9 ALL-TIME of 3 pt FG % at .4277%......
Now maybe Kobe's .559% for this season, is a prelude to things to come.........if he can up his efficiency we will rock....If he gets 25 ppg. on 17 shots we are good to go....You see, Kobe at times, needs to be able to toss the ball to someone who is automatic....Small forward is a slot we can upgrade.......
Anyways, they STILL NEED A KNOCKDOWN, LIGHTS OUT DEAD-EYE SHOOTER.....In my opinion of course
