The Kobe Is Overrated Thread cracks me up, I stumbled on it, and I got plenty of lulz.

17 season in the NBA and this dude ALWAYS gets me pumped up. Can't believe he's playing this well, for so long.

Couple of my thoughts posted on twitter, fwiw:
- Artest does too many things that don't show up on paper, meaning being unappreciated by mindless stat geeks. Still a quality role player. Hockey assists, disrupting opponents' fast breaks, going after 50/50 balls, all show up on paper... nowhere.
[/QUOTE]
the classic when my favorite player has a bad game stats wise, lets just say he did everything that doesnt show up on the stat sheet. problem is ron didnt do any of the things you bring up today. he was horrible
[/quote] Ron didn't disrupt any breaks? Get hockey assists? Go after 50/50 balls?
I mean, if you didn't watch the game, just say so, pimpin. Maybe just listened on the radio? All good, man.

I hear you. He's great on defense when he's guarding dudes that are close to his age but other than that he doesn't do that much. He kills momentum by taking those ugly fadeaways, dribbling in the paint out of control and bricking WIDE OPEN shots. He'll always be appreciated for what he did in Game 7 of the finals but it's time for him to bounce.

Lakers are 11-4 in their last 15.
The 15 before that 4-11.
First 3 weeks of January were brutal 2-9.
But the rest of the schedule isn't too bad.. If they play to potential, they will be fine.

The wins coincide with the team's defense improving. Ho hum.

I would say what I think they will end up, but I won't jinx it..
Even though I said we'd be 1-1/2 behind Houston, and we are 2-1/2 so I only half jinxed.

Which coincides with the improved ball movement. Nobody wants to play hard-nosed defense if they're ignored on offense.

I definitely have that Kobe step back in my repertoire

Lately, Kobe's been looking to score more. More aggressive. He's still facilitating at a higher clip than we've normally seen, but with his regained emphasis on scoring, I'm wondering how long he'll be able to keep his legs fresh...especially as we play the home stretch of the season.

I like the aggressive, scoring Kobe, his position IS Shooting Guard so let's expect him to shoot more.

Also Nash is looking for his shot more which he should be

Him being a shooting guard has nothing to do with his shooting attempts..
Also aggressive, scoring Kobe has a place and time. That shouldn't be at all time.
He should be thinking to get guys in rhythm as well as himself..

I'm saying in general... Today was a decent balance... Still a little too much on the shooting end, but he picked it up when needed which is fine.
He shouldn't be thinking to shoot more.
