The level of difficulty on Kobe's shot is why he shoots such that percentage. Stats don't tell the story. No one in NBA history takes the kinds of shots Kobe does, Jordan not even close as far as difficulty from midrange goes.
2. K13,
Dwayne Wade shoots nearly 50% from the field every year. Probably my favorite player ever. He's no where near Bryant all time. Same goes for Tony Parker and I can name more.
3. MendozaLine,
I'm pretty sure Bryant has the record for most all defensive 1st team appearances. Lebron learned to play defense from Kobe when he set the tone in the 08 olympics. If you dare Bryant to lock you down he will. 1 on 1 against Irving? Please.
I offered facts, you offer conjecture. Sorry, Kobe is not the only person in the NBA who gets double teamed, or takes difficult shots.
