    It's just ridiculous when 03-04 was used as a start point. Kobe had many clutch performance before that. IMO, when you have a good team and your teammates are a threat, you are more likely to get single coverage and the chance to make the shot is better. Kobe made a lot of winning shots between 00-04, why start from 03-04?

    Kobe couldn't even get past the first round without Shaq.. and he couldn't do ANYTHING for years until the Lakers got him some help. LeBron lead a worse team to the finals. Kobe got 3 rings from Shaq and won the fourth with a beast team.

    No, his father just played in italy for like 3 years so he lived there for part of his childhood. I believe he's fluent in spanish and italian as well as basketball.

    How many did he make, and how many did he miss?

    The reason is because 00-04 is a long time ago.

    When trying to assess a player's ability in the present, what he did several years in the past has less value. Skills change, bodies change, mentalities change.

    And in any case, the Lakers were a championship-caliber team the last two seasons. How did Kobe shoot on potential winning shots in those games?

    It was still pathetic and the basketball Gods reward the true winners.

    Well these questions can only be answered by a series of complicated graphs and elaborate math equations!

    That Lakers vs Heat game last night was the best game I have seen all season... I wouldn't be surprised if that was the best game for the season.

    A better way to answer my question would be to put together a compilation of all potential game-winning possessions that Kobe was a part of over the last few seasons and write down what you see.
