Thoughts?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I like the idea of him demanding near max money with declining skills for the next several years.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol There isn't a German steroid treatment in the world that will be able to stop him from being shat on at age 40...

[BanditHiro]

the rules allow perimeter players to play beyond their years not really a shocker tbh.

[NRHector]

well he's already playing like he's 40 so what's the difference

[ElNono]

He was done 2 seasons ago... good news for the rest of the league?

michael finley v 2.0

more like MJ 2.0

He'll change his mind after another year, he's already getting a minor injury every month. Something is going to give eventually.

[DeadlyDynasty]

His body will break down before then. He's played what--17 seasons now?...and that's not including the 2+ seasons worth of intense playoff games.

Spurs fan told me once Kobe isn't a HOFer...

Maybe, but Bryant is the type to be naive about his physical health.

[whitemamba]

damn 40? thats crazy

[Baseline]

Doesn't surprise me either, considering his staggering level ofselfishness. He's only in it for the all-time scoring title, and he stopped playing meaningful defense at least three years ago.

This also means that Dwight will fly the coop after this year. Why would Dwight want an ungrateful, ball-dominating gunner eating up valuable cap space for four more years?

[irishock]

I wonder if Dwight went to management and asked them to cut/waive/dump Kobe, would they do it?

[noob cake]

Kome just want to financially cripple the Lakers for a few more years.

[Raven]

a couple of years in the lottery and he'll change his mind.

[purplengold]

Kobe gon be on crutches if he tryna play that long

Spurs fan told me once Kobe isn't a HOFer...

Thunder fan once told me that they are a better team with Martin instead of Harden. Only difference is he was not trolling.

[Fireball]

Kobe plays until 40 ... well, thats just great

[GoodOdor]

spurs fan once told me Manu>Dirk. He wasn't trolling either.

[thunderfan]

40? Shit, he won't be able to walk at 40 at this pace. He'll need to get prosthetics or something. Maybe that bladerunner guy can hook him up.

[-21-]

Until he's 40? Yes, please! :hungry:

[-21-]

He probably realized that this team is gonna take a lot of time to gel. :lol

[ambchang]

Enough time for him to coat-tail another championship off of an All-Star big man.

Solid move.

He's not. He's still playing.

[Latarian Milton]

not that laughable imho. dude's like 34 and still a top5 SG in the league. playing til 40 shouldn't be impossible for him if he reduces the number of times where he throws himself at the basket or makes slam dunks when it's not necessary

[Stabula]

Kobe trolling the Lakers

Seems a few heading that way. Playing at 50, maybe that headline would grab me.
