Personally I think he's in self-preservation mode, so thats why the tougher shots are decreasing. All those minutes he's played in his career......shoot, pretty sure he just wants to make it through the season without over-exerting himself. He's probably gonna push Dwight to develop and improve his game throughout the season, while he cruises through the season mostly just picking his spots so he's fresh for the playoffs.

Too bad our coach is a moron.

Rumors: Kobe wants to play until 40. http://bit.ly/vIcV9Q

Los Angeles Lakers superstar talked to CNN Turk reporter Barbaros Tapan, you can find his statements about his future plans and his flirt with Turkish team Besiktas last season during the lock-out. “My aim is to play until I’m 40 years old and I believe I can do that. This year, we added very good players to our squad. Steve Nash, Dwight Howard will make us stronger. Right now, things are not going very well but I believe it’ll get better soon.” TrendBasket

I remember 2-3 years ago he started the season on an incredible clinic, shooting fadeaway midrange shots like every opportunity...abusing the Hornets, Blazers, Grizzlies etc. while shooting like 0 threes. And then he went back to shooting tough shots.

I hope he keeps it up this year...older and wiser I guess.

hope kobe gets his foot right and maybe tell mike brown to play meeks. least he can do after making him look like garbage in practice...totally unfair to meeks

Kobe (26.8 pts on 59.7% shooting thru 4 games) is as accurate as he's ever been in his 17-year career ...

According to ESPN Stats & Information, the last time Kobe had four consecutive games shooting over 50 percent came two seasons ago, Jan. 17-25 2011, when he went on this same streak. Four straight games over 50 percent shooting is tied for the 4th-longest such streak of his career. His career-high streak is six games, which he did between Feb. 11-25 in 2004.

the truth is Sessions wasn't that terrible. Mike Brown killed his game. As he is doing with Nash right now.
