Kobe came around the side to catch the ball.
When Paul George came to defend, he had already released the shot.
The ball fell into the net, responding to Stephen Curry's earlier three-point shot.
Since Chris Paul joined, like when the Lakers originally had Steve Nash, Kobe relinquished a lot of ball control. Especially after this season, his catch-and-shoot attempts increased.
And the success rate is quite remarkable.
Actually, Kobe has catch-and-shoot abilities.
This skill set was already developed early in his career.
When collaborating with Steve Nash, his catch-and-shoot shooting percentage once exceeded 50%.
This shot was the best proof.
