Realistically, What Does Kobe Have Left in The Tank?

[Foster5k]

What are the chances Kobe actually helps the Lakers make the playoffs?

[ZeN]

Kobe potentially has enough in the tank to be an elite serviceable player.

However, if the Lakers make the playoffs it will be because the young guys helped him as opposed to Kobe helping them.

Barring another injury Kobe isnt done yet, but he is done being the kind of player that singlehandedly pushes a team into the playoffs.

Yeah Kobe cant singlehandley carry team to playoffs by himself like he did in 07 and 06 he isn't great player anymore but he still can be very good. I expect him to have bounce back season this year I think he's motivated to prove critics wrong again.

[bluechox2]

he should trade himself to another team for picks and talent, and resign back next year for a better team

[RoundMoundOfReb]

none.

Koe pays 93 cents per liter

Delly+Harris for Kobe

Lebron can give him a 6th ring

Nice to see so many salty Kobe haters in this thread. If you are hated by many you are doing something right. :pimp:

is this shit even funny to anyone? i just cringe every time one of you retards do this..

[Akrazotile]

Kobe is very little in the tank

[TaLvsCuaL]

Sadly that serious injury ruined the final part of his career, before the injury He has two or three decent seasons :(

I think people are in for surprise this season Kobe looks more agile quicker to me than he has in last few years and has added some much needed upper body muscle he looks bigger.

[Bay Area Baller]

Good question, with the way Kobe was playing last year I think Kobe could definately help them tank. Oh wai t thats not wat you mean?? hehe


Okay real talk. Kobe needs to take less touches/shots on offense. He isn't making the shots he used to will in, with his finesse and athleticism. He just needs to get his roster involved even if it is Nick Young and Bass. This hasn't been Kobe's strategy throughout his career. And last year it led to a slew of bad shots taken. So it begs the question can you teach an old dog new tricks? I can't wait to find out.

jabbar, like Kobe, has sadly become a parody of himself. Every now and then he'll make a hilarious vintage jabbar post, but for the most part everyone just wishes he would hang em up and stop tarnishing his legacy.

If Kobe puts up Duncan numbers while winning, he'll still get sh1tted on. If he puts up 26ppg on 45% and not make the playoffs (in a stacked conference), he'll be sh1tted on.

Kobe gets held to GOAT standards....and it's to his detriment as far as public perception goes.

Yup pretty much he has to play at high level top 5-10 player in league to not get shit on by haters and national media.

And if he doesn't win while being a top 5 player, the hate is considerably worse.

[lil jahlil]

I'm sure he'll muster enough in the tank to jack up 20+ shots per game at the expense of his team.

[Bankaii]

Decent points due to his skill but on absolutely horrible efficiency.
Detriment to his team on defense.
Lakers don't even come close to making the playoffs.

[ShawkFactory]

Should he stay healthy he'll score 40 once or twice.

That's about it

[kennethgriffin]

give kobe kyrie, love, thompson.. he'l get the 2nd seed

[dubeta]

Well he had dwight howard, gasol, nash, artest and he missed the playoffs sooo..... :confusedshrug:

[stalkerforlife]

If Kobe was in a Duncan situation, he'd be vying for the title...but of course, he'd be labeled a sidekick and it wouldn't count.

Exactly

Nash > Kyrie as a pure point guard
Howard >>>> Thompson
Gasol >>>>> Love (Gasol actually has a post game)

kyrie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 40 year old nash

thompson >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> broken back howard

kevin love in the post >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pau gasoft ( 24/15/5 vs 18/9/3 ? )



and we never even saw the end result of the 2013 lakers with kobe anyway

kobe technically never lost with them

they had the 2nd best record after the allstar break. then went to sh*t in the playoffs without kobe
