And the 2 games after that he was 0-5. So take those 6 games and he was a combined 13-39. Not great.
That season he did end up with his best 3 point fg % ever and 12 3's in a game is a great feat, but look at the rest of his body of work... it's terrible.
He has his moments where he CAN be a great 3 point shooter, but because he chooses to chuck from way beyond the arc, because he chooses to chuck with "double and triple teams" in his face, because HE makes those decisions... he's a terrible 3 point shooter.
Guys like Ehlo and Hawkins were better shooters. They may have never been defended the way Kobe was, but that doesn't mean they're not better shooters.
Anyone can speculate about defenses and tempos and if so and so played here they would've scored this much.... If you're so curious about that join one of those fantasy sites that allows you to match up players from other years. But let the stats speak for themselves. Kobe is a chucker and a bad 3 point shooter (look at how low he ranks in career percentages). 33.9%

lol ur comparing open 3's and contested double-triple teamed fade away 3's?
lawlz.
there is no comparison, lol if kobe wasnt always doubled or tripled he wouldnt have to "chuck" from way behind the arc, lol basically the opposing teams defense is based AROUND KOBE.
and your talking about dudes at juz shoot good fg %, gtfo out of here. stats isnt everything it does mean something but in this case it doesnt define it.
these guys u named ARE NO NAMES, they shoot a better fg percentage prob cuz they were smothered with double teams all the time.
lol u cant take stats in a literal sense, thats fucking retarded, so if a scrub had a 10/10 fg percentage in a game and played only one game all year , is he considered a better scorer? id bet nobody would expect thatm from a scrub and play laxed D.
i cant believe we're talking about this, this isnt juz a kobe thing either, this dude is a moron.

lmao@kobe being a chucker...to shoot 34% on threes on your career is FAR from a chucker, homie...my point, though, was that jordan played in a day in age where teams rarely double teamed and triple teams were unheard of. the new zone defense rules completely changed the way players are guarded nowadays. u call kobe a bad shooter, but in 14 seasons, he's only had 2 sub-par seasons from beyond the arc. jordan has had 10, and that includes seasons where the three point line was a few feet closer....face it, kobe may not be reggie miller from behind the arc, but that doesnt mean he doesnt have a great stroke, along with a wide offensive arsenal to go along with it. and well never know how many points kobe woulda scored with a closer three point line, but all we can do is speculate.
