Even at his worst from a health standpoint, he still wasn't bad. His shooting splits at the time of his retirement announcement (29%fg/19%3pt) were bad but he got em both up by 10 points by season's end which signals good splits later in the seasons. He also averaged a career low in turnovers (1.9) And of course he still had the prettiest jumpshot. Its satisfying to watch him snap the nets RIP Kobe
The game was just too fast paced by then for a already aged Kobe to come back off a injury like that. He still had his skill set, but he was far too slow after that to be effective on a halfway nightly basis even. It's messed up because I honestly think he would've still been a 22 to 24 guy on some of his highest shooting efficiency for a few more years for not the tear.
Awesome upload!! Rly good stuff. Thank you for the content & work putting this together. Something I always wondered - in the first min or so every time Kobe launches a long jumper he lands w his feet rly spread out, wide apart. Anyone have any idea why he started doing this? Was it to help soften the landing & cater to his heel after the achilles injury? Thanks in advance for any response.
I noticed that wide landing too. Most likely for the exact reason you mentioned. Probably couldn't get proper balance without a wide landing either. Otherwise he was probably trying to put too much pressure on the heel to get balance this way he was able to spread out the pressure over the entire foot and also his quads.
