This took me all of about a minute to make.. and comprises half of Kobe's games this season. These are all awful shooting games. What is the excuse for each of these? Maybe Kobe fans should learn how to face reality?

KOBE = SHOTJACKER

So to follow up a 3-13 shooting game, Kobe decided to throw up 16 shots tonight, and he only made 4 of them! (Also missed about half of his free throws)

So Kobe shot like garbage yet again and yet he still decided to take the most shots for his team... oh, and his team lost by three point as a result to the Hawks.

Yep, "Kobesque" seems to be going out there and shooting 5-20, 6-18, 3-13, 6-25, etc. etc. until he finally has a lucky game lol.

7 turnovers to 6 points (3 of 13 shooting)

A player committing more turnovers than points scored almost never happens! Certainly not to an NBA starter... some of the things Kobe achieves certainly are.. ahem.. amazing lol.

Kobe seems to have horrible games like these all the time, as he did tonight. He also contributed 7 turnovers.

The Lakers were carried by Pau Gasol's 10-15 shooting, 24 point, 12 rebound performance to victory.

Did it set any records?

I would say "jack ****" fits nicely. I don't know if he's ever written something that is actually true or makes sense.

Set many records and lost in the Superbowl to the 49ers.

Do you agree?

They were stellar nearly the entire game. I have to rank it up there near the 85 Bears. Simply put, hats off to the Giants' defense and defensive coordinators.

Will there be any surprisingly favorable calls among the "officiating"?

RC Dude is right - Derek Fisher doesn't get the credit he deserves. He's one of the most underrated players in the game's history.

At this rate he may be able to break the season record for turnovers! Tsk tsk, needs to stop ballhogging.

1985 Bears

1989 Forty-Niners

maybe another Niner team for me

I think it's because Kobe is a gigantic ballhog! What do you think?

That makes for Kobe's fourth different game with 9 turnovers. lol

I'll give you a hint - he's also missed 25 shots in one game!

Only the ballhog Wilt Chamberlain could rival Kobe with so many games with 40 shot attempts!

Kobe: (all of these are under 50% shooting while taking more than 40 shots!!)

17-47 field goal attempts for 41 points

22-45 field goal attempts for 58 points

19-44 field goal attempts for 53 points

21-44 field goal attempts for 48 points

17-41 field goal attempts for 50 points

19-41 field goal attempts for 44 points

18-40 field goal attempts for 45 points

LeBron: (the most shots LeBron has ever taken is 36, and all of these are at least 50% shooting!!)

18-36 fga for 56 points

19-29 fga for 52 points

19-35 fga for 51 points

18-28 fga for 51 points

Wow, look how efficient LeBron is, while Kobe simply shotjacks to get points. You'd have to be blind to not see who the better player is!

Yeah that's what I thought.

Now that I look at it, Kobe has never even shot 47% for ONE SEASON!

He has shot a lower percentage than his own TEAM for basically his entire career, including the past few years, and he has shot the league AVERAGE for his career.

Every great NBA player in history has shot WAY above the league average... otherwise they'd be considered selfish.

Anyone who says field goal percentage doesn't matter is a moron who doesn't actually know basketball. It is the largest factor in winning or losing. Playing smart and efficient wins games. Does it come as a surprise, then, that Kobe has been a loser?
