Yeah, I mentioned this in the game thread too. It's totally classless in my opinion. The guy can pass and facilitate for the younger guys, then focus on defense where he probably still has some chops. He should be the 4th or 5th option after at least Clarkson, Randle, and Russell...may be even Hibbert. Instead, he's a shot-hog that's embarrassing himself and freezing out his team mates. I just don't get it.

yeah, but they need to be last to maximize chances to keep pick .. how to out tank Philly, what about Kobe announcing retirement so nobody will be furious about what he does and then let him shoot .300fg .200 3pt and give him like 30 shots per game, might work :-)

Heh, good point, although at some point you would think he would stop wanting to embarrass himself.

then you have to come up with new plan, but it is Kobe, he will shoot A LOT before that happen .. he has also 25mil contract he will finish season for sure

I think kobe is looking for that one last 40 point signature game. That is why he takes so much 3's. Its the only way for the current lobe to get there. Once he got his 40pt game, i can see him starting to pass more.

I agree that it is embarrassing right now.

"Kobe is now the childhood dog you grew up with but now he's 17 and u gotta watch him poo in the house and piss on your couch."

this is from Lakers forum :-)

Kobe scores 31 as they beat the Wizards tonight. He also was -6. Lol

It was funny the tweet I saw this afternoon that Kobe took more 3's last night than Curry has ever attempted in any game in his entire career. lol
