You mean the last three games, when he was 22-41 on FGs?

Does this somehow negate the fact that he shot horrifically bad in the games before that? (Houston, Clippers, Portland, Bucks, and now Orlando). I have never seen Kobe have games of 10-30, 14-39, 4-21, 4-19 all with in the same month. But again, it's okay so long as he doesn't do that in the play offs because we seem to be fine right now.

Kobe is fine. He's not going to decline for at least 4-6 years.

Listen I get that you're a Kobe fan and all (I am too) but you just sound like a kid in denial right now. Kobe won't decline for FOUR TO SIX YEARS? Maybe he's not a broken down old fossil but he certainly isn't the Kobe from 2006, that's not even debatable.

why he's not going to be the best laker of all time.

You do realize that Kobe is playing with a splint on a BROKEN FINGER OF HIS SHOOTING HAND, right? Please remember that before he broke his finger, this had been his best FG% year I believe in his career. Am I right anyone? TRodgers? I don't know, I thought he was shooting somewhere around 47%. Maybe I'm wrong. Come to think of it I am wrong. You're right. KOBE sucks. I've just been in denial.

Oh wait, I'm beginning to remember who you are now. You're the guy who said in another post that Lebronze is the best player in the world. Oh, yeah . . . it's coming back now. His team lost that game by the way.
