Realistic predictions for Kobe in the 2014-2015 season?

[Cocaine80s]

20/5/5 on 44% shooting

He'll manage to put these numbers up just before the all star season until he breaks down for good. :lol

I can see Kobe being

20 4 6.5 46fg%

[Levity]

this should be a fun thread!

[SupermanOnSteroids]

24/4/4

[iDunk]

22 PPG
4 RPG
6.5 APG
1 SPG

43 FG%
33 3P%

in 31 MPG

[BigBoss]

I see him playing 30-33 mpg.

21, 6, 5

47% shooting

[riseagainst]

i'll just go out and say it. 28-5-5 46%.

:bowdown:

this thread is gonna be bumped alot when the season starts.

:oldlol:

[MannyO]

28.6 ppg
5 rpg
5 apg

48.9% shooting

[lakerspng]

25p/5r/7a on 47/42/88

if he's 100% like he said, and can stay that way for the majority of the season, he's going to have an impact.

[AirFederer]

28,1,1 on 34/17/90

[Smook A.]

23/5/4 on 43%

I see him struggling a bit when the season starts but after a month or two he'll get into his groove.

[BlkMambaGOAT]

RS:25/6/6 on 46% shooting.

PO: 36/7/7 on 48% shooting.

Result: Sixth ring. Book it.:rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

[Black and White]

21/5/8,

I see him focusing on team ball, also they will manage his minutes more carefully, so don't expect anything crazy.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Depends on the coach and the team around him

[qrich]

24.7/5.6/4.8 on 43.6/34.2/84.9

[RoundMoundOfReb]

23/5/4 on 45%

[Phenith]

29 ppg - 41%/31%/77%
4 rpg - .5 orpg
4.5 apg
.9 spg
3.9 topg

This is of course assuming they go into next season without aquiring any new help. If they get someone else good for him to share with his ppg and tos would drop a bit and his %s and apg would jump a little.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

Similar to any of his three peat seasons.
25-5-5-45%

[Droid101]

I see his assists per 36 going up along with his shooting percentages. Scoring down slightly. That is assuming we pick someone who plays this year with 7 and actually sign someone.

[Mure]

13/4/2 on 34%.

[Nikola_]

23-5-5 43-32-81

[red1]

23/5/4 on 45%
something similar to this

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

23/5/4 45/32/81 shooting in 33 mins, mediocre D
All NBA 2nd or 3rd
miss playoffs

[zoom17]

40/8/9:rockon:

[lakerspng]

I love how so many haters have him putting up a career low in assists, when obviously he'll be spending more effort in the facilitating role than he has in the past. His rebounds and scoring will be down, but his assists will be 6+, that's pretty easy to call.

[turnaroundJ]

Assuming full health and not much scoring help

27 4 5 on 44%

No way that he won't score at a high level given that the ankle is good to go

[dubeta]

Under 60 games and under 45% shooting

[JT123]

25p/5r/7a on 47/42/88

:biggums: Has Kobe EVER shot that well from 3? :roll:
He's only shot 47% once in his 18 year career, so I don't know how he is going to do it at age 36 coming off a serious injury. :confusedshrug:

[coin24]

26/5/7

And depends on supporting cast and coach but most probably MVP and finals MVP. Lock for most handsome of course:pimp:

I have a feeling he's going to take a lot fewer 3's, especially the wild contested ones he's forced in the past which killed his %. I think he'll only take them when he finds himself open, 3's as a matter of opportunity.

[GODbe]

27-5-10

Before he got hurt he was becoming Passbe, I expect a Magic-like season by him mixed with epic high scoring games.:rockon:

[onhcetum]

him getting injured in 2013 and 2014 saved his legacy. it would have been 2004-2007 all over again. aka can't do it without a stacked team

people are acting like LA gave away shaq for FREE... they got brian grant, odom, and caron butler...

Brian Grant was shit.
Butler was young (and shit).
Odom was shit until 2007.

Anything else?

24/5/6 on 45% shooting.

[Combat Wombat]

21/5/8,

This.

Although I can see him averaging more points than that. When it comes to Kobe, expect the unexpected.

He put up 27 6 6 before going down and looked to be getting more comfortable before the knee injury (put up 22 7 5 against Memphis, I think).

[Milbuck]

until he breaks down for good. :lol
:biggums: The **** are you laughing about?

[outbreak]

depends on if they pick up other players

if they don't pick up another star i think he will score around 22pts on around 40% and they will miss the play offs. If they get a proper star and he scores around 15 a game maybe they will make the play offs.

[Jameerthefear]

14/5/5 on 38% with poor defense

[Combat Wombat]

14/5/5 on 38% with poor defense

We're talking Kobe for 2014-2015, not Oladipo's prime.

[zoom17]

nothing to special he may not even play full 82 games.

[Jameerthefear]

We're talking Kobe for 2014-2015, not Oladipo's prime.
Dipo put that up in his rookie year bud :oldlol: and with elite defense.

[outbreak]

We're talking Kobe for 2014-2015, not Oladipo's prime.

you realise oladipo averaged pretty much that in his rookie season but on higher shooting %....

come to think of it he had better averages in every category than kobe's rookie year didn't he? He won't be anywhere near as good as kobe but your post seems rather silly.

[Combat Wombat]

I know he did but, like your butt buddy, I'm just trolling here.

[Jameerthefear]

I wasn't trolling. That's what I think Kobe numbers will be. That is about what he averaged this year. He's a year older now AND off another pretty serious injury. If you think he's going to be doing what most here anticipate you are in for a rough surprise.

[9erempiree]

I predict ratings are going to go back up again and the league will be very exciting. As you can see, ISH has kind of been boring without Bryant. You can tell by the haters not being able to make threads about him.

Everyone who is trashing Kobe now will be participating in a lot of threads about him in the upcoming season. I expect 10 plus pages and 200 plus responses to Kobe threads.

He is must-see TV.

you miss the fact that 90% of the people you call "haters" are simply posting in kobe threads created by his stans that make ludicrous claims like the shit you just said in your last post.

Of course he's not going to be putting up 25-30 ppg but you're underestimating him big time. It can't be denied that he was starting to be comfortable on his foot before the knee fracture. Not to mention he could have returned after the knee injury but sat out. It will be nearly be 1.5 years since he tore his AC tendon and the fact that he did no muscle/ligament damage to the knee is pretty encouraging.

Not to mention that it's known that he would rather retire than stick around averaging 15-18 ppg.

I guessing he'll average around 22 points on 45% 5 rebounds 6-7 assist. Although i'll be the first to say you were right if your prediction comes true.

That's not realistic. At all. He put up 13.8/6/4 and 6 turnovers per game this year. It didn't look like he was speeding up much either. When Rose was playing like shit people were saying it would take him 30-40+ games to get back into his rhythm. It's the exact thing for Kobe, and when you consider he's older, slower, and less athletic it makes your prediction seem hilarious.

He put those numbers up over 6 games, you idiot, after coming back from a potential career-ending injury and was also out of shape. If he can put up 14/6/4 under those conditions, what do you think he can put up after an extra 4-6 months of rehab/work on his Achilles as well as being in shape for the season? Are you honestly that thick to believe that he'll put up the statistics you suggested if he is fully healed and and physically fit?

I know you're used to underachieving due to being a Magic fan and a pathetic excuse of a human being, but medically, Kobe will be 100% at the start of the season unless something happens during training camp. He may be less athletic but for the past 4-5 years, his game has not been based on athleticism. You should know that after he raped you pathetic franchise in the 2009 NBA Finals.
