Even when you take into consideration how badly he has struggled this season, Kobe Bryant was still far worse than expected in Tuesday night’s loss to the Golden State Warriors. The tape says it all.
Kobe tied a career-worst shooting mark by hitting just 1-of-14 shots from the field. But we don’t need to go through every game of the 17-time All-Star’s career to know that this was his most embarrassing performance ever. Just look at some of these shots:

Kobe conveniently downplayed his horrific night.
“I’m not really worried about it, honestly,” he said after the game, per Baxter Holmes of ESPN.com. “My shooting will be better. I could’ve scored 80 tonight. It wouldn’t have made a damn difference. We just have bigger problems. I could be out there averaging 35 points a game. We’d be what, 3-11? We’ve got to figure out how to play systematically in a position that’s going to keep us in ballgames.”
The amount of shots that Bryant has air-balled this year has been astonishing. Kobe has looked so bad that he was even mocked in a hilarious video game mashup a few weeks ago.
After the Lakers’ 111-77 loss to Golden State, Nick Young seemingly took a shot at Kobe. When you see how many horrible shots Bryant took, you can understand why.
