1999! S-Rank Three-Pointers

"The 58 days are up."

From the start of the season on October 31, 1998, 58 days had quietly passed by December 28.

Over those 58 days, Kobe had become a BUG!

A complete and utter scoring machine!

He averaged 50.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 2.7 steals, 0.9 blocks, and 2.9 turnovers!

Matching the Basketball Emperor, Wilt Chamberlain!

And with those numbers, he had led his team to 27 straight wins!

Kobe's performance this year had already been hailed as the greatest in history!

December was not even over, yet the Player of the Month trophy had practically been delivered to Kobe's home.

Even if Kobe's performance declined, as long as he could average 40+ points and lead the team to 65 wins by season's end, this year's MVP would still be his!

Kobe checked his status.

After Sharpshooter ended, his three-point attribute had finally broken through!

It had gone from S- to S!

This had been entirely fed by a massive number of high-difficulty shots!

Every elite scorer was fed by massive usage!

Kobe's three-pointers were no exception!

At 50 points per game, Kobe was taking 33.6 shots per game! He was shooting 53.5% from the field!

Of those, 11.2 were three-point attempts!

Insane!

In this era, an entire team only took around 15 to 20 threes per game!

Yet Kobe alone was launching 11.2 threes!

While maintaining a 42.3% shooting percentage!

Of course, with the Sharpshooter attribute gone, Kobe's number of attempts was bound to drop drastically.

Without the trait of ignoring defense, Kobe would have to be more cautious with his shot selection.

These two months of insane performances had temporarily come to an end.

Until Kobe raised his three-point attribute to S+, he probably would not be able to attempt 11.2 threes per game again.
