That's actually pretty bad man. I know you are used to see harden score 25 when only making 5 shots but that's not actually a good thing

No it isn't. Scoring the same amount of points as shots is a pretty standard benchmark.

If you took 26 2-point shots and made 50% of them, that's 26 points.

50% from the field is not bad.


And as for Harden, free throws are very efficient, so his style IS a good thing.

A "standard benchmark" for what...horrible efficiency? A PPS of 1.00 currently puts you at 113th in the league among qualified players.

I'm talking about an individual game. PPS of 1.00 is the reason why "hack-a-Shaq" doesn't work if the free throw shooter can keep making 1 of 2.

There is no way to spin this man.

Making 1 point per shot is not good and is terribly inefficient.

Almost any player in the league could score 30 points if they took 30 shots. That's a terrible offensive night.

It's terrible, as someone who handles the ball as much as Kobe, he is expected to get to the line and make free throws, as well as make three pointers. Which means that his fg percentage is well below 50%.

ETA: 38% from the field is not good at all. I know Kobe isn't known for his field goal percentage or being an efficient player (no all time top 50 PER seasons) but that's bad for anyone taking as many shots as he does.

Looks like the honeymoon is over for Derrick Rose.

First Take just roasted him for his comments about life after basketball.

Yea, those comments are terrible. Seriously, you would have to be pissed if you were Bulls' management. "Yea, you guys are paying me 90million dollars and I've only played 10 games out of 164, but what am I going to do after basketball? I gotta think about that. What if I'm sore later in life?"

I think he meant to say hes not gonna play while hes hurt, but instead said that shite.

I honestly think hes terrible at PR.

If he stays healthy, I don't think hes gonna stay in Chicago. Most of the city has turned against him, whether or not its his fault.

EDIT: I'm a Bulls fan and I'm about done with his shite.

Probably best if you just moved on from the point you were trying to make. It happens.

you don't help it either with your bad copy and pasting boom.

Right now, Kobe has the 2nd worst PPS of 20+ppg scorers at 1.11. Worst being Melo at 1.01

Yes it is. It's why Harden has such an awesome true shooting percentage.
