you act like kobe doesnt HAVE to be THE MAN in order for this team to succeed
hes still the only guy on LA that commands a double team
kobe either splits the screen and gets open for a shot. or the helper switches and theres a wide open teammate
basketball 101
kobe is still the lakers primary option for a reason. he could be 50 years old and defenders would still choose to collapse on him

That's because they know his dumb ass will jack up a fade away 30 footer in triple coverage.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

so youre saying kobe jacks up 30 foot threes over triple coverage and still has a top 5-6 all time resume
makes you wonder what woulda happened if kobe didnt treat the nba like it was playstation

he averaged 23/5/6 last year with a torn shoulder most of the games he played in
Actually he averaged 22-PPG (22.3 to be exact, on 20.4 FGA) on a woefully embarrassing 37% shooting... you do realize that's horrific production, right?

kobe says right now hes finally 100% since 2013
get ready for a big surprise
What surprise... 25-PPG on 24-FGA and 40% shooting?
Again... you do realize that's horrific production and completely detrimental to the team right, especially considering he will most likely chuck up more than twice as many shots as the next closest Laker (and shoot faaaar worse than the team)?
Kobe Kids like you are still delusional... after all these years you still fail to realize that when a player MISSES more shots than any other player on the team even attempts (while shooting far worse than his team), it's not something to be praised.

Karl Malone started the 01-02 season with 54,258 NBA minutes on his legs (16 seasons) and 2,831 NCAA minutes (3 seasons). That's a total of 57,089 minutes whereas Kobe only has 55,415 minutes played.
Malone, including college, was starting his 20th season of post-high school basketball, and he went on to accrue the following stats that year:
80 games
3,040 minutes played
22.4 ppg
8.6 rpg
4.3 apg
1.9 spg
45.4%FG
21.1 PER
Kobe won't sniff that type of season, particularly the games and minutes played.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.
