Kobe's such a big head

Having spoken of pro football, I think Kobe Bryant in basketball is truly such a big-headed person. In fact, he’s probably the most big-headed player in the history of the game.

Yes, Kobe, the superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers. You know what’s wrong with him, don’t you?

Yes, that’s right. That guy shoots too much. And he does it without remorse (which, again, says a lot about the man. He took the same attitude, I suspect, when he was accused of raping a woman in Colorado in 2003). Kobe kind of thinks teammates are his servants rather than his equals. He seems to believe that the team fares well when he’s well fed, i.e. when he gets to shoot as many tough jumpers as he pleases.

Well, not so to someone who views basketball as a team sport – which is why the game features five players on each side instead of one each.

At any rate, Kobe shoots too much. He shoots so much that it becomes painful to watch, sometimes to the point of annoying to watch. And statistics back me up. Currently (after 29 games into an 82-game season), the Kobester averages 21.7 shots per game, twice as often as the player who shoots the second most on the team – that’s Dwight Howard at 10.8 shots per game. This kind of disparity is unheard of on other teams in the NBA. Even on the Knicks team, with an equally trigger happy scorers in Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith, things look much saner on paper. While Melo leads the Knicks with 20.7 shot attempts a game, Raymond Felton (How can I forget to mention him earlier?) trails with a healthy – I’m being sarcastic here. Can’t help it – 16.4 shots a game and Smith comes in third place at 14.2 attempts per.
