Is Kobe Bryant still a top 10 SG in the game today?

[Hit_Em]

Where does the bean rank?

[bluechox2]

hed make a decent 3rd option on a good team and put up min 20ppg/5a with less load on his knees that put him number 5 min

but hes gotta learn not to shot jack from the other stars and take a lesser role

[Cold soul]

If healthy why not.

[PistonsFan#21]

His competition is:

Ellis, Harden, Thompson, Ginobili, Wade, Butler, Wesley Matthews, Bradley Beal, Derozan, Victor Oladipo,, Tyreke Evans, Joe Johnson, Andrew Wigging, Gordon Hayward. im probably missing a few obvious ones

who does he kick off the list?

[FKAri]

In short bursts or in a playoffs environment, easily. Over a season and playing full start minutes? Probably not.

[Nash]

22ppg on 37%

[navy]

No. Maybe if you had a spot game here and there?But over a season? Haha no.

[kennethgriffin]

nope.. kobes career ended with the achilles injury.

he can still be a top 10 point guard though if he wanted to be... his scoring days are over cause of the limited mobility

but as a playmaker he can still average 8 assists per game if thats all he focussed on.

kobes a great playmaker when he trys to be. could play till hes 43-44 years old doing that gimmick

[AirBourne92]

top 3 easily still

put him around a team with good spacing and bean can still use his guild and skills to be highly effective

ask any coach or elite sports level trainer, they will tell you the same

without a decent squad however, you will see the same as this season--kobe getting pushed out to the perimeter more than he likes and shooting and bricking more than he likes

[Poetry]

nope..

its honestly hard to imagine him staying healthy for an entire season at this point so it has to default to no. Its sad mayne

[Harison]

Any guard can average 8apg if all they focused on was playmaking you dipshit. This is the whole problem people have with Kobe in the first place...he goes from one extreme to another and has no balance in his game.

Homeboy should worry more about playing defense than anything else at this point next season. It was laughably pathetic.

My mother has better lift on her jump shots than Kobe did this season...

Even at age 36-37, dude is still better than at least 8 guys on that list. Sure, he was chucking like a madman early this season (old man Kobe actually was leading the league in scoring for a little bit), but when he decided to chill out, old man Kobe was piling up the assists and dropping triple doubles...

Definitely still top 10 and arguably top 5.

[DMAVS41]

Hell yes is somewhat right health wise.

Put that dude as the 6th man on a title contender and he'd be one of the most valuable players in the league given that role.

Would be so fun to watch.

Thats what they said about Iverson.

[sp6r=underrated]

He was a bad player in 2014 and among the worst in the league with how he was playing for large stretches of 2015. So no he is not a top 10 sg in the league

And then you find starting pgs that don't average 8 assists per game. Lol at you calling others dipshit.
