Didn't MJ average 28.7 ppg at 34(started season about 3 months before turning 35), Bernard King also averaged 28 ppg(he was 1 month away from 34 when starting the season).
Bryant averaged 27.3 points per game last season, the highest scoring average by any player in NBA history who started the season at least 34 years old. -- ESPN Stats & Information
Kirby fans will be mad about this one, or maybe it's just ESPN setting up a storyline for Kirby, once he returns and averages 25 ppg on 43% shooting, it will be a ing miracle.
25
FYI, when D.Rose tore his ACL in 2012, his ranking actually improved, went from 8th in the NBA to 5th best(ahead of Kirby and Wade)
ESPN just whoring for views and setting up a storyline for Kirby, nice one.
I think that is fair ... not even Kobe knows how he will be after the Achilles ...
Lol get the out of here. Top 25? What a joke lol
more fuel for kobe's fire ...but can he do anything about it?
LOL dude in his 17th or 18th year (or whatever) and a ESPN top 25 garners a LOL?
Who cares?!
Who cares, they also projected the Knicks to win 37 games this year
Tim and Tony will get a higher ranking than Kobe.
And they should. if they cant rank higher than kobe coming off a career threatening injury ... heck, Pau should be ranked higher too ...
Dirk should be ranked higher than steak boy.
This is why Killa is the man. Dude gets it. Who cares about this stuff?
seems a bit high. dirk is still capable of carrying a team
Was Dirk behind Bryant?! Didn't even look trusting you guys on this ...
I would place dirk over Kobe for this season too ...
There are few individuals I hate more than Kobe Bean but this is wrong. Even if it's based on injuries, it hasn't stopped ESPN from propping up Rose or Bynum in the past.

Dirk #26.
Dirk was probably in the top 25 range last season despite coming off of knee surgery. He should be top 10 this season with a full training camp.
Kobe is doomed he will have a ty season....book it
who the did these rankings? Kobe at 25? Dirk at 26? morons
A bit high but understandable. At age 35 in his 17th or 18th season and with the most minutes logged among active players, you honestly can't expect a lot especially if he's recovering from what many people believe as a career ending injury.
Kobe's ceiling is probably 22 ppg 3 apg, 3 rpg this season. Anything more and it means Kobe will tremendously hurt what little chance of the Lakers making the playoffs, because it means he's forcing his way to get his numbers all at the expense of team chemistry.
Dwight is ranked higher than Achilles

I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. He shouldn't be that low imo
