Why is Kobe such a garbage shotjacker?

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!

Update:

Actually, YOU FAIL! LOL @ this CLOWN!

LeBron shoots 48-49%, and Kobe shoots 44%. That is a giant difference! That's the difference between winning by 10 and losing by 10! lol @ you!

No, Kobe has taken a lot more shots in his career, in a season, and in a game than LeBron ever has.

No, I didn't pick and choose. Those are Kobe's games with 40+ shot attempts, and those are LeBron's 50 point games. LeBron doesn't shotjack to try to reach 50 points. Get a clue! Learn basketball please!

    Dude, being the better player is not all about shooting percentages. In that case, Steve Nash is the best player ever. Assists and high fg%/ft%/3p%!

    So that argument is flawed.

    A fair comparison is now Lebron not only outscores Kobe with a higher percentage, Lebron also out-rebounds, out-assists, out-blocks, and nearly matching in steals than Kobe. And the sad thing is Lebron is not even going to be on the All-Defense 1st or 2nd team, but Kobe will. And the reason is Kobe's defense is just so overrated.

    Like I said before and I'll use it again, Kobe's All-Defense is like Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture! Overrated!

    ----------------------------

    PJ, the last time I checked, Kobe vs Lebron (LAL vs CLE), Lebron is up 5 to 3.

    "lebron averages about 27.6 points to kobe's 24.3 points. lebron has about 6.9 rebounds compared to kobe's 4.7 and lebron leads assists at 8.6 compared to kobes 5.4"

    from:

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=200712...

    Sorry, once again, your arguments never work.

    -----------------

    apparently, after that comment, PJ was so ashamed that he had to remove his answer... that's sad!

    Now that Bynum is out for a while, Kobe sees himself as the only person who can make up for his absence. That might explain the extreme fga.

    get a life, honestly and stop looking up stats for a player you absolutely hate.

    it just makes sense if you hate him that much

    to not even care about him
