At what point do the Lakers Bench Kobe?

Didn’t expect anyone to call him out like that THIS soon. I thought everyone would be too emotional over his retirement announcement to call him out like that, but the truth had to come out soon.

I love Kobe, but I have no clue what he’s doing throwing up so many shots when he knows they’re not falling. He could at least play as a ball handler and create opportunities for his teammates. A guy with his IQ and ball handling skill could surely play as a more point-forward type of guy who runs the offense instead of looking for his shot so often. He could help Russell, Randle and Clarkson get the shots they need, but I don’t know why he’s so deadset on shooting brick after brick with the occasional airball. I love the guy and consider him one of the greatest of all time, but emotions aside he’s playing atrociously and is contributing literally nothing to his team right now besides jacking up ticket prices at the Staples Center.

 I don’t think any fan wants to see Kobe going 4-17 from the 3 point line.  

It’s absolutely awful.  It’s hard to watch, and not because of the whole "It’s sad seeing a legend struggle" narrative.  No it’s sad to watch because it’s just terrible and selfish basketball.

It’s going to cause serious tension in the locker room as well sooner than later.  You could hear it in the post game interviews with the other players.  

Nobody holds him accountable.  B Scott continually makes excuses for him after every game.  He went as far to say that he would live and die with Kobe’s shooting performances like last night.

WTF?  Such a poorly coached team.  The fact that Kobe is playing the worst basketball out of ANYBODY in the league right now… yes anybody only doubles down on B Scotts incompetence.

Say what you want, and nobody loves the Lakers as much as me… but if Kobe goes out like this, in such a selfish manner, without even flinching in the face of, basically by any metric what is considered the worst season for a player with his useage…. ever.  Then it will leave a sour taste in my mouth.  I won’t go as far as to say it will tarnish his legacy or whatever.  But it won’t be easy to forget, at least in my eyes.  

Sure, 5 championships and yadayadayada.  This is the most selfish stretch of basketball by anybody…. ever in the NBA.  Remember when they said Rubio was on pace to have, or did have the worst shooting season ever?  Kobe is making him look like Steph Curry.  

I’m okay with losing.  If they went 0-82 I am fine with that, as long as it looked like they were giving effort and playing the game the right way.  But this is just beyond comprehension to me.

If this was part of some big plan to attempt to keep their pick, okay… I mean it would be stupid but okay I would get it.  But it’s not.  We shouldn’t even try to give Scott and Kobe that kind of credit right now.  It’s just pure selfishness from two people specifically who are too egotistical to put an end to it… or even confront what is going on for that matter.

I feel bad for every Laker player not named Kobe Bryant…. yesss even Nick Young.

 Well according to Durant the Media is to hard on him. What a joke that is. 

He is Kobe he should figure out how to contribute in the passing and other areas if he isnt scoring. He really thinks he will start scoring soon and just keeps shooting. Media should be asking him every hard question. Why not thats entertainment too.
