Lord it never stops. The second a guy has a big shooting half a year they're gonna make him an MVP and 9 out 10 times the people doing it are saying Kobe is a ball hog. Read em and weep haters.
Arenas is a PG. Kobe is a SG. SG's are supposed to shoot. Point Guards are supposed to assist.
Minutes Avg. Shooting % Rebounds Assists shots per game
Arenas 40.5 29.7 43.1% 4.5 6.3 21.9
Bryant 38 28.3 47.1 5.4 5.5 19.8
Kobe is shooting 4% better than Arenas. This is a telling statistic when you consider both take the most shots on their team.
Arenas is averaging a very mediocre 6.3 assists for a point guard and not even a full assist a game despite playing more minutes than Kobe and Kobe being a SG.
Kobe out rebounds Arenas. Kobe shoots less than Arenas.
Get real. You're gonna just hand Arenas the MVP and honestly have the nerve to call Kobe a ball hog who doesn't share with his teammates? Really?
Here's how your dumbo "ballhog" claim stacks up on Kobe
Carmello Anthony 24 shots per game
Allen iverson 22.7 shots per game
Lebron James 20.2 shots per game
Micheal Redd 19.8 shots per game
Tracey McGrady 19.8 shots perg game
Ray Allen 19.6 shots per game
Vince Carter 19.5 shots per game
Dwayne Wade 19.4 shots per game
Kobe Bryant is 5th in taking shots and not even half a shot a game ahead of 3 other star player. And you say what now? Like some milk with that crow?

How you feeling Kid? So....here we are again. I was sitting around thinking about important stuff like whether I should tell the wife we're gonna have a little menage trois with Beyonce or not and for some reason, maybe it was the TV special about this game with the Patriots, you came into my mind. Now don't go getting funny on me. You are not coming with Beyonce OK? Anyhow, I was wondering how you felt deep down insde. Not the stuff you tell to the press and all the polite, yada yada stuff. Got any butterflies? Oh I know you're a consummate professional and you're well prepared and you're experienced, talented and considered one of the very top quarterbacks to play today but you have to know what people say. You can't win the big one. Some of the idiots I heard talking even said it's in your genes because your father never won a title. Of course your father, and I saw him play, wasn't as good as you. But you have to know what they're saying and have been saying.
Do you think that tightens you up some? You haven't been exactly throwing for 400 yards lately like you used to do when you just went off. Think there is any chance you could get something going against the Patriots defense that they just couldn't score with you? Me neither.
They're saying this is the first playoffs that you ever had a halfway decent defense yourself. What do you think? Honestly? Can this bunch hold it together against the Pats? They are playing better defense but this is not no steel curtain right? I mean they may be a shower curtain where you were just letting water spray out on the floor earlier but this is not a defense that is going to let your offense get away with 4 field goals know what I mean?
I just wsh I knew what was in your heart right now. Half them morons in the blog say's you're a choker. And half the non morons say you're a choker. I'd like to believe you're not but they say you got a #### on your back. Well, did you ever hear that old song, "one #### don't stop no show". I think it's time Peyton that you bring the heat. I think it's time that you stop trying to be what you're not in these critical playoff games. You're not Tom Brady. You don't have the personality to go out there and just go robot. He can do that and win doing it but that's not your game. Your game is the 400 yd passing game. Get some serious attitude. Brady can win games being a better Craig Morton. You gotta do your best Dan Marino imItation son. You;ve already tried it by being Mr Conservative. and lost. You've already tried it being Mr Methodical. and lost. You gotta come with some serious attitude Peyton. I know you got that baby face, that face that looks like you might be the gerber baby grown up but you gotta take charge here. I'd call a meeting of the offense and put it to them. If you win you buy everyone an Elephant for their back yard. If you lose you're putting out Mafia Contracts on every single one of them. First offensive play? flea flicker and air that puppy OUT. If that doesn't work second play run the string right and back and air that puppy OUT. Set the tone right off that if you're going down again you're going down after everyone of their DB's have a heart attack from overexertion.
You following me here Peyton? You can't beat the Patriots allowing them to play their little "hi ####, hi ####, hi #### to the fundamentals we will go, we exectute, we turn right, we execute we turn left, we wait on you to try and beat us at what we do? We run red right, we screen we dive, we punt and wait on youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu:" Bull #### This ain't gonna work. You're a throwing quarterback and you gotta trust the defense. Go with what got you here.
