...but not yet. he's only turning 36. with the way the league is today. guys can play till their 40's. since lebron joined the nba we've seen allot softer rules that has extended careers of many guys.
- ray allen
- steve nash
- tim duncan
just to name a few.
obviously one day there will come a time that kobe won't have anything left to give. but i doubt with these rules at only 36 even with slower legs will he be unable to score 24-25ppg on a good percentage for a guy who takes a ton of threes ( 44-45% )
i think personally that kobe does want the all time scoring record. i just think he's too smart to go out and say it publicly. i think hes signing these little 2-3 year deals to toy with people and trick his wife. we all know she wants him to retire since she said shes only putting up with more seasons if he wins more rings.
but he's honestly not going to retire at 35k. he'l be 37 years old. and by then the lakers will have atleast added one more star for the future. he will want to test his legs to see if he can make a run at it one or 2 more times
and with another 2 year extension he will be 39 years old when he hangs it up. all time scoring champ and still leaving time on the table.
theres absolutely no reason why a 39 year old kobe bryant cant average 20 points. i just dont see how he cant do it even as 2nd option.
kobe will be the all time scoring leader. mark my words. and he will be finished when he says hes finished or he tears another achilles in half.
he will get the last laugh. this leagues too ***** officiated and protecting its wing players to stop it from happening. why do you people think theres such an overwheling surge of point guards and bigs are dying off. it isnt because theres a lack of big people on earth. its because the game changed.
deal with it.
