Byron Scott's latest quote on Kobe Bryant's shooting may be the most telling of the season.
Kobe Bryant is having a terrible season. He's putting up a team-high 16.6 field-goal attempts per game while shooting just 33.1 percent from the field. Kobe's three-point shooting has been even worse, making just 14 of the 70 attempts he's taken (20 percent). Things are not going well in what may be his final year in the league, and everybody knows it.
Yet Los Angeles Lakers head coach Byron Scott continues to turn a blind eye to his suffering play. Scott was asked if Bryant taking isolation attempts has affected the Lakers' ball movement, and his response is one of the most telling from him yet.
