When does he back out of retirement?

[konex]

While sitting out 3 4th quarters

GOAT:bowdown:

He could play till 40, still dominating the league.. Anyone see that rainbow over giannis today? Lord mamba just shit in his face!!:lol

[yeaaaman]

I honestly want to know what happens if Kobe continues to play relatively well, I'm talking 20ish points 5 and 3 on 45% for the rest of the season and they start winning more games.

Would the competitor he is actually let himself retire if he started to feel/believe he just needed to play himself back into shape and had more to give?

Hope he keeps it up, no legend deserves to go out like that. Even if I think he was a bit of a chucker, he was ****ing amazing to watch

Would be premature right now, right around All Star break sounds reasonable :D

[pastis]

as i said it from the beginning: from what i could see regarding his quickness, his high shooting release, his ability to dribble and to drive to the basket.....he still had it. he just was in a huge shooting slump.

Damn! He tried to play it off like it was nothing, but you can tell how happy he was about it at the very end

:lol

Show them young guns on the Lakers who you really are

"Maybe I spoke too soon...hehehehe" *giddy on the inside

[SpaceJam]

Even though I love to see him playing like this, I hope he does retire at the end of the season WHILST keeping up this level of play

[GrapeApe]

Better than Dwyane Wade's doing, didn't think he had it in him

He's averaging 18/5/4 on the season in 29 mpg :confusedshrug:

It's nice to see Kobe playing well. You know it was eating at him that was struggling so much. He's too hard a worker to not have turned things around at some point. Hopefully he can keep it up.

[Hittin_Shots]

If he can help them win more games than Brooklyn I'd be happy for him

[stalkerforlife]

Kobe shipped Randle to the bench and all is well.

Randle is a lazy black hole that needs to learn by observing the Mamba.

exactly. hes too much of a dumb blackhole sometimes. like westbrook. dude doesn't know how to make essential inside/out passes, one he starts posting, hes going in

This x 100000000

[Collie]

I think he'll end the year with 17/4/3 on 38/30/80 or something like that. Still pretty bad, but not that different from other seasons from all-time greats.

[brooks_thompson]

Awesome to see a guy persevere like this. Hope he keeps it up and stays injury-free.

[AirFederer]

It`s nice to see some vintage Kobe w/o chucking. And that was a sick pass :applause:

[Prime_Shaq]

I hope he keeps this up but doesnt back out from retirement as well

[ShaqTwizzle]

He has put up some very nice stats over the last 2 games.
23 / 5 / 6 on 68%TS... :applause:

Didn't expect it.
Let us see if he can continue this micro streak of good play.

It's just going to be a brief hot streak.

[Elosha]

Statistically speaking, Kobe will have some good streaks this season, but he will likely have more prolonged slumps as well. The Lakers are still losing badly for most of this 5 game streak, so if he sits out of blow out games, that will help him recover. It will still end up being by far his worst season of all time, and he would be a fool to call off retirement. He's not a fool.

Just like they avoided ISH after last year's Finals. Still cant believe this retards had the nerve to show up after all the shit they talked before the GSW series,

[FKAri]

I hope he can continue this level (or something somewhat close to it) the rest of the season. Even the haters will forget his poor start to the season and he can retire gracefully.

[bigkingsfan]

Making that playoff push.

Better than any Lebron's assist this year

[Lebronxrings]

how many wins? This dude is the king of statpadding. :oldlol:

[SpaceJam]

Btw, Russell's Usage in the past 5 games is actually 27.7 which is higher than Kobe's

Lettin the rooks do their thing :bowdown:
