He wouldn't be the first player to fall in the draft, guards especially if they're a little undersized for what scouts consider to be their natural/likely NBA position.

er that's because arenas is a pg and kobe is a freakin sg.

mr er-

it makes no difference. bryant still remains the bigger ballhog

by **SnitchDevil** on Fri Dec 30, 2005 5:04 pm

that doesnt make arenas less of a ballhog than the devil kobe.

Arenas assists on 17.6% of his posessions and Kobe Bryant assists on 11.6% of his posessions so you can say Kobe's more of a "ballhog" and Arenas is a better passer. Kobe's an overall better scorer, however, because he gets to the line like a madman. Kobe's also been turning the rock over at an incredibly low rate this year while Arenas has been sub-par. Defensively it's no contest: Kobe's superior.

So yes, it's obvious that Kobe's the superior player but we all knew that so I don't know why I'm saying this.

OK, what the hell has that to do with anything?

LoL Arenas plays alot of SG too......Doesnt matter Kobes a BALLHOG who creates for himself!

by **ShAuN** on Sat Dec 31, 2005 11:30 am

Holy shit....Arenas is having a GREAT night. At halftime, the score is 61-55 Heat, But Arenas has 29 points, 9-13 from the field, 3-4 from 3pt line, 8-9 from Free Throw line and 4 assists. Still halftime.

yesss, arenas didn't break 50. i would've been pissed if he broke jordan's 51 point performance -- although it's inevitable that he's gonna break it.

by **Mikki** on Sat Dec 31, 2005 12:49 pm

He finished with 47 pts, 8 ast, 7 reb in a SICK loss to Miami.

by **Axel** on Sat Dec 31, 2005 1:20 pm

Oh yeah, great game for Arenas... one prob though

They lost the game!!! Badly!!

Oh, and maybe that's partly his fault... he was 1 of 10 down the stretch.. not good

by **ShAuN** on Sat Dec 31, 2005 1:20 pm

Damn.....he had a shitty 4th quarter......I seriosuly thought he would have finished with more than 55 points......Good night though, 47pts, 8asts, and 7 rebs is pretty good numbers. He also shot the ball 54%.

It's a pity that the Miami Heat constantly make the Wizards their bitch. How many straight have they won over the Wizards now dating back to last season? Miami swept the regular season series and the postseason series last year (some in shocking fashion) and seems to be picking up where they left off with regard to the Wizards. (N)

Did you even bother reading? we were talking about the shot attempts and assists. :roll:

Primarily about shot attempts, yes. And Arenas is playing a combo guard, which means he plays off the ball much more than the rest of more 'traditional' PGs. He shares ballhandling duties a lot with Chucky and Daniels.

by **SnitchDevil** on Sat Dec 31, 2005 10:56 pm

That still doesnt change the fact that he should average more assists and less assist than the devil kobe. well, he does but you get my point.

Ballhog is a ballhog, regardless of what position he plays.

by **SnitchDevil** on Sun Jan 01, 2006 12:51 am

ummm no, sg's tend to shoot more than pg's. common basketball knowledge.

% of teams shots

Kobe - 32.6%
Iverson - 31.9%
Lebron - 27.1%
Tmac - 26.6%
Arenas - 26.1%
Dirk - 25.2%
Allen - 24.8%
Wade - 24.4%
Vince - 24.4%
Pierce - 23.3%
Brand - 22.5%
Carmelo - 22.2%
Redd - 22.2%

Arenas is not close to being on Kobe's level in terms of percentage of team shots taken. Arenas is not a ball hog, unless Lebron is now too, he takes only 2 less shots than Kobe because his team in general takes more shots. He's also more efficient in his scoring. Higher FG%, much higher 3PT%, and going to the line 1 time less a game.

by **ShAuN** on Sun Jan 01, 2006 3:18 am

Yea look were TMac is, Wade, Vince, and Pierce are. Kobes way up there.

How many point guards do we have in this list? Yeah, that's right.

Point is a point guard is supposed to take less shots than a sg, he's supposed to drop more dimes than a sg. But wait, here's Arenas, averaging more shots than dirk, allen, wade, vince, pierce, brand, melo and redd. He's on his way to catching up on t-mac. Dude, the guy is a frakin pg, call him a combo guard or whatever but he's still the one running the offense and he's still the one tasked to set up his teammates.
