No question Kobe is an all-time NBA great, but very little question he is a ballhog as well.
Games with 0 assist, MJ had 7 , Kobe 57.
Stats inc the official stat taker for the NBA came-up with a new stat, which player would rather miss than pass ?
They took the ration of missed shots to assist, well doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure-out who was amoung the leage leagers........................yep it was Kobe............................
Kobe has a strong history of taking bad shots before passing to a open teammate, one of the reasons he is a low percentage shooter from the field.

Mostly, though, he praised Jordan for his patience, for allowing the game to come to him—something Kobe rarely does.
"Jordan was also more naturally inclined to let the game come to him and not overplay his hand, whereas Kobe tends to force the action, especially when the game isn't going his way," he explains. "When his shot is off, Kobe will pound away relentlessly until his luck turns. Michael, on the other hand, would shift his attention to defense or passing or setting screens to help the team win the game."

Yes your right, it's not a large % but you can't look at it like that.
A better way is to compare it to other players, how relative is it based on other players ?
Kobe had more than 8 times the number of games with no assists than MJ.
Relatively speaking, that is horrendous.

The debate isn't whether Kobe is a all-time great, of coarse he is.
The debate is about his flaws that could of possibly made him even better.
Speaking of his 5 time NBA Champ, maybe this will help explain that..................................................
In the 4 NBA Finals with both Shaq and Kobe................................
Kobe shot his regular season ave FG %( an already low % which shouldn't be to hard to duplicate) in just 5 of 18 Finals games, good for 27.8%
Shaq shot his regular season ave in 12 of 20 games, good for 60%.
Kobe shot within 5% of his ave in 9 of 18 games, good for 50%
Shaq shot within 5% in 16 of 20 games, good for 80%
Kobe missed 1 game VS Pacers and was injuried after just 9 minutes the game before which is why Shaq has 2 more games for those wondering.
Kobe scored his regular season ave in 8 of 18 games, good for 44.4%
Shaq scored his in 17 of 20 games, good for 85%
Kobe scored within 5pts of his regular season ave in 13 of 18 games, good for 72.2%
Shaq scored within 5 pts in 19 of 20 games good for 95%.
In 11 of Kobe's 18 games he took 20 or more shot atts and here is the horredous display of shooting put-on by Kobe.
Kobe shot above 44% in just 7 of 18 games, good for 38.9%
Kobe shot below 39 % in 9 of 18 games, good for 50%, OMG, Kobe shot below 39% more often then he could shot above a very mediorce 44% and HE DID NOT STOP SHOOTING BECAUSE OF IT .............................................
Shaq shot above 60% in 11 of 20 NBA Finals games, good for 55%.
Shaq shot 50% or better in 20 of 20 games, good for 100%.
Shaq shot 60% or better 16.1% more often than Kobe could shot above 44%.
Shaq beat his regular season rebound ave in 11 of 20 games, good for 55%
Kobe in 8 of 18 games good for 44.4%.
Shaq beat his regular season assist ave in 8 of 20 games, good for 40%
Kobe in 8 of 18 games good for 44.4 %. Kobe barely wins this.............................
Make nnoooooo mistake about it, Shaq was clearly the man and the reason Kobe has 3 of those 5 rings....................................................

Make nnoooooo mistake about it, Shaq was clearly the man and the reason Kobe has 3 of those 5 rings....................................................
Not only did Kobe have many horrendous shooting games but his great shooting and scoring games were few and far between....................
Kobe had just 3 of 18 games scoring 5 pts more than his regular season ave, 16.7%
Shaq 16 of 20, 80%...... Shaq destroy's Kobe in big scoring games by a whopping 63.3%......................
Kobe shot 5% better than his regular season ave in just 4 of 18 games, 22.2%
Shaq, 7 of 20, 35%.
Kobe shot 55% or better in just 2 of 18 , good for 11.1% while shooting under 39% in 9 of 18 games, 50%. If that doesn't take a big bite out-of Kobe's overblown hype I have no clue what would.............................................
And I just looked up Kobe's performance VS Celtics in 2008 and 21010 NBA finals, (haven't looked at Orlando series yet in 2009) and it's more of the same......................................
Kobe shot under 39% in 6 of those 13 games, with 1 game being exactly 40%. That gives Kobe 7 of 13 games shooting 40% or worse, 53.9% and 16 of 31 games spanning 6 nba finals series he shot 40% or worse, 51.6%.
That clearly without question speaks of a player who overrates his abilities, has no "realistic" clue with what he is cabaple of doing, the guy is the master of throwing-up bad shots and missing and continuing to throw'em up despite missing so many, and that in my book takes a big hit on Kobe's legend.
