Kobe Bryant was a disaster for the Los Angeles Lakers in their 34-point loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. While the Lakers as a unified body struggled and showed a sincere lack of effort, Kobe’s abysmal performance spoke the loudest. The 37-year-old stopped the ball as frequently as ever and did so to shoot 1-14 from the floor and 1-7 from long-range.
It’s been clear since the start of the regular season that Bryant performing as a high-volume shooter in the Lakers offense isn’t an effective strategy for this team, especially when he’s doing so with shocking inefficiency.
