His age 34 season was tremendous. 27/6/6 on a 57 TS% and he was playing 39 minutes a game.
His game was set up perfectly to age like a fine wine.

Who fucking knows. Kobe was his own worst enemy. He played on bum ankles. He would mess up shoulder or fingers and shoot with the other arm. Although it’s admirable and is a big reason for his success, we needed to save him from himself. To be fair, we needed every single minute he gave us. We had some shitty teams throughout the years
Who fucking knows. Kobe was his own worst enemy.
True on soooo many levels
Yeah, especially that 12-13 year he basically carried them on offense. They were 10 pts per 100 possessions worse on offense with him off the floor.
Maybe 5. or 6. Around 1-10. Maybe
I think by 36, 37 at the absolute latest he would've stopped being elite. But his game would have set him up for a gradual decline instead of falling off a mountain. I'd like to think when he got old, his game would be like Wizards' MJ, able to turn back the clock sometimes, but would have plenty of low scoring games.
If Kobe was averaging less than 20 ppg he’d prob have retired tho

Probably 2. Maybe 3 at most.

About 3.5

His game was set up perfectly to age well, but the Lakers weren't.
He can still in today's soft ASS of a league
What do you mean he was great in his farewell season /s
0, since he was already no longer elite before the injury.
Sorry, very good years. He was scoring at high volume on well above league average efficiency while also running the offense.
I’m far from a Kobe stan, and his defense had slipped considerably, but come on. He was very good that year.
Lol you don't need to placate him. Kobe was elite that season and that guy is dumb for thinking otherwise. He spent half the season proving he could still average an efficient 30PPG if he had to, then took a step back and averaged 6-7APG to help the team play more cohesively. Wherever he decided to focus his attention, he was dominant.
Look at his advanced stats. Since you want to point to points and assists, where did you get 30 PPG and 6-7APG? He averaged 17 and 2, roughly half of what you are dreaming up in your head. Name a guy averaging 17 and 2 who is an elite player in the NBA right now.
What the hell are you on about lol
He averaged 27 and 6 assists that year
Edit I think you might be thinking of his last season in the NBA and not the season we’re talking about? Or you’re just trolling
You're a moron
True. He got swept vs the mavs and okc before that
27/6/6 on great efficiency okk
Kobe + Load Management could have been a great duo.

To be fair, the same probably applies to Wade as well.
