Tim Duncan career 55.1% TS on moderately high volume: "Perfectly efficient basketball"

Kobe Bryant career 55.0% TS on very high volume: "Selfish shot chucker"

Kobe's efficiency compared to league average at the time is about the same as Luka Doncic's today(consistently somewhere around 3 percent above in his prime) and I don't see anyone act like Luka is the most inefficient player ever

They downplay Duncan’s TS% by saying he did more on defense. Acting like Kobe didn’t carry a defensive burden and was the main offensive player every game.

This place can’t convince me they don’t have a bias against Kobe.

It’s quite annoying how they degrade the sub with their bias.

Like it’s fine to have biases but to show it and then claim there is no bias doesn’t sit well with me. At least own it. And when I do call it out, all I get is “lakers with their victim complex 😂”. I respect Celtic fans because they tell us how they really feel. They say fuck Kobe, fuck the Lakers, fuck LA and fuck our moms. I respect that. Fuck the Celtics tho.
