Yes, i only checked the boxscore. When I do watch his games though, all i see is "chuck" "chuck" and misses. He takes loads of shot and doesn't make a lot of them. He was a beast a few years ago though.
If you the best scorer in the game you take the msot shots, it's a given. It's not that he was chuckin up shots, he made a good percentage, went 10-11 from the line and looked for open teammates. If Jordan took 30+ shots you wouldn't say the same, right?
Cleverly disguised tactic by Karl in subliminal message by reverse psychology "hey Kobe, keep shooting dumb ass"
Kobe is the best closer in the game. He is also a stubborn low percentage volume shooter who will not defer to anybody. That's the package you get with Kobe.
Because I was curious why he was great when he took 32 shots and only scored 42. The fact that I didn't watch the game adds to my curiosity.
I guess my hatred for the Lakers and Kobe took over when I made that comment. I sincerely apologize if I offended you.
