first ballot Hall of Famer, has 5 rings, 3rd on the all time scoring list, seems like a pretty efficient career to me, I'd take those over shooting 50% a night any day. If he was so inefficient in his career why did he stick around for 16 or so years? In yours eyes he is inefficient, doesn't bother me or the millions of other fans that buy his shoes and products. Doesn't seem to bother the Lakers front office. Somebody must appreciate him to sign him to millions of dollars in endorsements. Maybe when you take step back and look at the big picture you would see you are in the extreme minority.
