I think the 03 szn would’ve been his first 35+ point Szn had he not had to share so much scoring resp w/Shaq. Y’all saw what happened when shaq was out w/injury that year! 35+ with ease every night and then still continued with Shaq coming back but Phil told him turn it down 🙄

Kobe got this mythology around him cause his game was visually similar to Jordan & cause he tragically passed away. Hes for sure the 2nd best SG ever but to act like Wade wasn’t going bar for bar with him during his prime is crazy. The league is lucky Wades knees were glass
"THE KOBE ASSIST".
In 2012, Kirk Goldsberry unveiled a unique statistical phenomenon where 15% of Kobe Bryant's missed shots led directly to points.
Kobe's perimeter gravity was so immense that his heavily contested shots regularly drew double and triple teams, leaving opposing defenses completely out of position to box out. In many instances, Kobe would deliberately attack a defense knowing his trailing big men possessed the rebounding advantage.
Goldsberry calculated that Kobe's team scored off 15% of his misses, meaning that a league leading 54% of his total shot attempts resulted in points.
Kobe Bryant didn't care about FG%.
Kobe Bryant cared about WINNING.
