I think Kobe Bryant is a terrible player! Who's with me?

Question

I want you Kobe fans to explain one thing & I don't want to hear that I'm a hater, that he scored 81, that he got 3 titles, or he scored 65, 50, 60, & 50. I want you guys to give me an legit explaination for why he doesn't have these accomplishments in a 11 year season.

0 Finals NBA MVP
0 NBA MVP
0 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year award
0 ESPY Best Basketball Player award
0 Gold Medals
0 NBA Titles as the team leader (Shaq was the leader)
0 Rookie of the Year awards
0 Defensive Player of the Year award
0 Steal titles
0 Assist titles
0 Sixth Man award (he's been a 6th man bench player)
0 Most Improved Player award (he's improved)
0 NBA Finals record holder (he's been in 4 NBA Finals)
0 To lead the league in 3 point shooting
He's played 11 seasons and haven't captured any of those things. Why haven't Kobe at least accomplished half of those things if he was so great? 11 seasons is more then enough time to for a great player to have done at least 1 of them!

Answer 1

i totally agree, kobe is an idiot that only shows off, i really feel sad for his teamates because whenever the pass the ball to him, they never get it back

Answer 2

jdw,

Everyone is entitled to their opinion - but anyone who knows anything about basketball knows the guy can ball. How many GM(s) out there wouldn't take him on there team?

That'd be a wopping zero. It's funny that you put 0 Sportsman of the Year award, and steals and assists, but don't put scoring titles in your qualifications.

It is true that Shaq was the leader during the Laker championships- but it is also true that Shaq wouldn't have won the rings without Kobe. Remember all those overtime games verses Sacramento-- the Lakers needed not only Kobe, not only Shaq, but also Big Shot Bob! What exactly by the way is a NBA finals record holder???

i think you are choosing selective stats. The reason Kobe has 0 gold medals is because he has not played on an Olympic team.

You may not want to hear that you are a hater... but it's obvious you pick and choose want you want to say about Kobe. You don't have to like the guy- but if you think he's a terrible ball player- you do not know basketball!

Answer 3

basically, ur not in this wanting to hear someones opinion, ur wanting a bandwagon. which means anyone who disagrees with you, is wrong in ur opinion

u say kobe is crap because he hasnt acheived the things u have mentioned above. but what of the other milestones? i guess u forgot to include them there didnt u

if kobe hasnt won any of these things, and if u argue that players need to win half of these awards to be considered great players, then who exactly is an active player that you think is great. probably couldnt find one could u.

stop judging him based on the person he is/was. and be an actual basketball fan who looks at statistics and what he has given to the game. if your a true basketball fan u wouldnt for one second think kobe bryant os over rated or not a good player. i dont care what u say. none of us wouldnt want his ability to hit the big time shot, or shut down a player when the team needs the stop.

lets re cap your stats
0 understanding of basketball
0 number of good points made
0 chance of being able to take the thoughts and reasons of others
0 chance of ever having something decent to say

im sick of the basketball 'fans' who make statemtns and judgements with no real proof, understanding or openess to debate. its all your way of thinking only.

i dont love kobe, never really cared much about him, but i do appreciate the player he is. maybe you should try that sometimes....appreciate rather then dictate

and for everyone who says kobe is a ballhog...well um, he kinda has to be part of the offence to a point where he gets many touches, because if he doesnt...who's gonna score? whos gonna make the defenders hurry and stick with him? no one else on the team is that kind of player.

to those who say kobe doesnt pass the ball....hes actually averaging 5.4 per game...which - in case ur a moron - is the same as some PG in the L. he passes up the same amount as Rafer Alston. how about other starting PG that average less dimes per game....Luke Ridnour, Mike Bibby, Damon Stoudamire, Jameer Nelson....

stop making judgements and actually LOOK for the answers

Answer 4

i don't kobe is a terrible player but i do think he needs to start working on things. his ego just gets in the way of everything. if he started passing the ball a lot more and maybe actually playing defense he'd have some of these titles that you're talking about

Answer 5

I'm With You He Is Just A Ball Hogger That's Why He Has Alot Of Points

Answer 6

PLEASE READ THIS:

Now its actully kobe haters that dont make any sense. Listen if you think Tmac is better than kobe you way wrong because tmac isn't worth comparing to kobe. If you think LeBron, Wade, Amare or Nash are better than they disagree with you themselves. If anyone is overated and sucks it is Tracy McGrady. And by the way I saw your profile and you are obsessed with kobe. sereosly get a life, because if kobe is a 0 you are a 100000000 below 0 because well your at your home waisting time hating kobe he has a hot wife, lots of cash and of course GAME.

Answer 7

everything you just name many players fit that category. what happened to his 4 games with 50+ points and more. he was a 6th man as a rookie, only rookie to win 6th man was ben gordon. Most improved, cant give it to a dude who dropped 20 points alot in his career. theres no such thing as an assist titles or steal titles. let me tell you 6 out 8 years he made the all defensive first place team and all 1st place team many times in his career. you just making up titles like assists and steal, kobe is a pure scorer, players give it to him and he scores. hows he a terrible player, he beat many nba record and many lakers player. a dude who can score on three defender, not many dude can do that. kobe usually dont srop 3s like many players like peja can. wow winning "sports illustrated sportsman player o the year award is a big accomplishment that every player thinks off". shaq hasnt had any nba finals record holder. Shaq was on his team, thats why he didnt get nba final mvp and season mvp. kobe is all around scorer who can cause damage everywhere. he can leave wounds in the paint, free throw. he doesnt take threes all day because he can beat anybody at any point on the court. hes so terrible he has three defenders on more focusin to stop him everynight for 11 years in his career but failed. if he so terrible, he leads the league in scoring two years back to back. just cause half the award you mention isnt a big deal and he doesnt win it, does mean he sucks. i betcha whoever you name havent won half that award yet. Just name it, i put my name on the line, who won NBA finals and season Mvp, have assist titles, steal titles, 6th man, most improve. not everybody wins that you moron

Answer 8

IM SO WITH YOU! Everybody thinks he's so good because of those 5 games (the 81 and the 65, 50, 60, 50). If you look at those games, i bet he didnt have more than 4 assists. he cant get an assist title either because he is a HUGE BALL HOG! every time he gets the ball he sends everybody else into isolation. Any starter in the NBA can score like kobe if they dont ever pass the ball!!!

Answer 9

Are you serious? What's been goin on in yo head? The dude can score like hell. What other player scored more than 50 points the past week besides him. Look at his stats and highlights on NBA.com and tell me.

Answer 10

You make good points. Also, look at his shots attempted per minutes played and field goal percentage. He's only shooting 45.3% (46.7) this season) from the floor. That's not impressive. Only Carmelo Anthony has more field goal attempts per game (23.0 to 21.9). That's selfish play. He's all for stats instead of being a team player. Kinda reminds me of Michael Jordan.

Answer 11

Ya because 81 points in a game sucks
Also 65, 50, 60, 50, 43 point games in a row is terrible
