The only way it's possible is that he's on a team that has 2-3 superstars to share the ball with and he can't be the primary scorer either, that's the only way.

You say it is not possible, how would you know? That's what I call hating, you've already declared that it's not possible, as it clearly is...I'll bet you ANYTHING Kobe's percentage is higher next year, and even higher the year after that...PeACe

So you think Kobe will be the first player in the history of the game to have higher FG percentage as he ages and still remain the team's primary scoring option? It's not hating man, this is commons sense when it comes to basketball. Like teeray said, he's not gonna drive to the basket as often, I stated that earlier as well. Players lose foot speed as they age, not one single player will ever continue to have the same speed he had in his 20s. It's not just Kobe we're talking about but eveyr single basketball player.

I bet Kobe won't be jackin' up as many three's with the shot clock winding' down, or fadeaway turnarounds when he's 30...I think he will get wiser and have a better shot selection as he matures...John Stockton did it, many players have, why can't Kobe? I think you're just hating by simply writing Kobe off like that...I think you're still butt-hurt over the Shaq trade... :-*

So what if he loses foot-speed? I see Kobe taking a lot more set shots, maybe playing the small forward position a lot more in his 30's...It's all a matter of opinion, and yours is just more anti-Kobe than pro. Kobe CAN get better with age. Jordan did it, Kobe can do it too...PeACe
