OT: predict kobe's stats for 14-15

[Thread]

I respect your allegiance Thread. Just pointing out to some that all these attention to a player who played 6 games last season coming from a career ending injury at the tender age of 35, just isn't worth it.

Well, he shielded me at 13 down, 3rd quarter 17 June 2010. I'd given up, pissin' & moanin' to Luva on the PM. HE shielded me when I was down & out. I'm gonna turn my back on him when he's down & down? No in' way. We started together. We'll go on to the end together:::shoulder-to-shoulder.

Tell them how great Kobe is!

God will have a season for the ages. He will average 30 pts on 50 percent shooting, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and a steal. God will get the MVP next year book it.

Kobe: 5

the tired old bag Duncan: 5

You want it to be one way.

But it's the other way.

That team is gonna be gasping for offense. Loads of garbage time in the losses. Kobe will take it to the other team's bench. Gasol leaving means more post plays for him. The Lakers will bring in scrubs who don't mind Kobe ISO-balling for his personal stat goals. FG% was 42% last year and could easily dip below 40% this year.

24ppg
FG% 39

Really hard to predict. Historically, superstar players who can come back after missing significant time to injuries (think a season) or mostly around their late 20's and early 30s, players who experience injuries of that significance in the mid to late 30s would just hang them up.

The closest person I can think of would be Bernard King. The man was a ball hog, couldn't win anything with a dominant big man, and was a scoring champ. The year before his devastating injury, he averaged 32.9 ppg, the year after he returned, he played 6 games and averaged 22.7. The year after that, he averaged 17.2 ppg, and had that average gradually increase to 28.2 ppg before another serious injury.

The difference is, Bernard King had his first injury in his late 20s. He was also right at the peak of his prime.

Kobe on the other hand, suffered the injury at 34, and is about 7 or 8 years removed from his absolute prime. Given that he was averaging 27.8 ppg before he got injured, I'd say he would suffer a 10 point drop in his average, and average around 18 ppg.

In terms of shooting %, King had a 3% drop in his FG%, and never really truly recovered his form, and that could be partly because of the injuries, and partly because of aging. Kobe on the other hand, had seen his FG% dropping steadily since his prime, before a rebound the year he was injured. I'd say he go back to pre-injury shooting at around 43%.

I see a dip in his rebounding, but his assist will likely remain about the same level.

Overall, 18ppg, 43% shooting, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Still pretty darn good for a 36 yo player, just not for a $24M player.

Keep replying with the same parroted junk like I ordered you to.

Do it, respond again like the good dog you are.

[Killakobe81]

Depends on team ...if we suck his scoring goes up FG% goes down ...
IF we are good points go down assists go up FG% improves slightly ...

[RsxPiimp]

Kobe's going to be Kobe. Meaning he'll prove the rest of the world wrong by doing what he does best. Rack that PPG numbers. He'll get 26-28 ppg.

[024]

No big name free agent wants to play with Kobe so the Lakers will have to surround him with scrubs again. And you can bet Kobe will be jacking it like there's no tomorrow. I expect 24 PPG 41% shooting if he stays healthy through the season. He'll get his 20 shots per game no matter what.

Season ending injury by 2nd month of the schedule, too small a sample size to matter
