Heh, Kobe will probably win one or two more, but beyond that, who knows. Too many variables in the league even if DH12 comes to LA.
Kobe is a bad mutha er....I wrote an article about this last year...it appears that Kool and Kobe are on the same page....
and I get to continue to live my basketball dream vicariously through Kobe...
Remember my "article" led: "The Pathway to Kobe winning 10 les" which basically consists of Kobe winning 2 more (to put him at 7) before Dwight joins in 2012-2013. He would then run off another 3 with Dwight to close his career the way he started it with Shaq...basically Kobe will win out until he retires...It's a long-shot I will acknowledge I give it a 50/50 chance... I say Kobe gets 8 since he gave 2 away in 04 and 08 but who am I - if Kobe wants to call it then so be it...I'm in his corner....It appears Kobe has felt this way all along since he was a rookie.
Here it is:
As a rookie Kobe brashly declared that the Lakers would win 10 les during his career, he was asked during a Laker championship celebration whether he'd like to amend that prediction...upward. He said he'd let his estimate stand.

this is the conventional wisdom however, the Mamba has spoken...and the wheels of destiny are now rolling...
probably won't get 10, but if he gets his 6th this season i'd say he did good by his saying
better than LBJ's "not 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,etc,etc"
So he only needs 10 more les
lol 10? hes about to retire and hand over the reigns to blake
Kobe said it before I said it....Blake will have to pry it from his cold dead hands...
10 les as the number 2 option
He'll be lucky to make it to six, tbh.
then 7 if he makes 8 then it will be the modern day equivalent of 10....so by my prediction he'd be only 2 off the pace after June...
Could be the 12th option for all it matters.... 10 is 10.
That would make it tenure not reign
The Colorado event was his one failure as a person and a player. It stunted his relentless quest for his goals. I'm sure the silver lining for him rests in the fact that he did it to himself. That failure was his doing, not say Daddy's. It drove him off the straight & narrow of his map and he wandered in the margins for 3 years before rehabilitating himself and finding his way back. When time outside the walls is your single quest everything else dims and moves away.
Kobe has won his last NBA le. Book it.
but he needed that in a way....he was unbalanced...it seems from the beginning of time we've been dealing with this...Adam sold us all up the river for a piece of Eve's ass....But Kobe's Colorado much better than the cathartic moment of getting pops killed over throwing them dice in Vegas...
cough cough....
Now Duncan I agree with...didn't he score like 2 points on Sunday....that old man got some serious issues....
No. The double whammy of it was it took place during his prime's prime. We lost 3-4 years of that prime because he failed himself & us due to that Colorado event. It shook the very foundation of his being, his liberty was at gross risk. Only the strong male influence of his father, and his family unit enabled him to come out the other side somewhat whole. Even then, he'd had the scared out of him and he couldn't function in the regimen he had his entire life up to Colorado. By the time he realized "it was really over" Brown, Smush, Meds, et al were loitering his living legacy.but he needed that in a way....he was unbalanced...it seems from the beginning of time we've been dealing with this...Adam sold us all up the river for a piece of Eve's ass....But Kobe's Colorado much better than the cathartic moment of getting pops killed over throwing them dice in Vegas...

He didn't need Colorado to succeed. Bryant had a 20 year plan from the time he was 15. He just never included Colorado in it.
Yep, and if there wasn't a box score we'd never know it.
5 more les? Father time has something to say about that. He says no ing way.
They were 2 crucial points
All made up by the post jordan knobslobbers. Jordan came along and did not have a superstar big man. It's rare. Had he a Jabbar, Akeem, or Shaq he would have become the 2nd option as well. The big man-small man combo is well do ented throughout history almost always with the big man being the #1 option. Nobody ever dininished Magic's les because he had Kareem. Why is that?
Because it was never an issue. Jordan passed Magic and Laker fans as well as Magic tipped our hats and said well done. Now that Kobe is on the doorstep and in decent position to surpass MJ's le count, we hear the ohhh but Kobe wasn't the #1 option garbage.
I'll guarantee you this... if the Lakers should be so fortunate to win #17 and 18 and Kobe and Mike are hanging... Kobe's gonna say gotcha and MJ is NOT going to be so weakass as to say something along the lines of "but you werent the #1 option for all your les".
That's what all you butthurt haters are for...
Cully I gotta disagree somewhat....Kobe played his best basketball during Colorado...he was coming back from court dropping 40 and 50 on people like it was child's play...yep it was tough but the following years after Colorado and the 04 loss was Dr. Buss experimenting with the likes of Smush Parker, Kwame Brown, and Chucky Atkins....Kobe played his part to a tee...that period after Colorado was all Mitch simply not "Doing It"...
Check this vid out it is pretty compelling from my point of view:
Doesn't matter what he says, his body will give up.
Too bad Shaq left...
