How much better would Kobe be right now if he didn't tear his Achilles?

[Springsteen]

Yea, I know. He'd be MUCH better than he is right now. But by how much, do you estimate? He turned it up during that playoffs push at the end of 2013, but he was having some pretty terrible games beforehand.

Wizards Jordan status, maybe.

[West-Side]

Who knows?

The man put up 30/7/7 on 55 FG% & 63 TS% in the final 25 games before tearing his achilles.

Who knows?

The man put up 30/7/7 on 55 FG% & 63 TS% in the final 25 games before tearing his achilles.

Actually he averaged 28.2 / 6.0 / 7.3 on 58%TS over the last 25 games he played in that year.

[STATUTORY]

Kobe would averaged 25/5/5 well into his 40s with fully intact achilles

[WayOfWade]

I bet he'd average a cool 22/5/5 on about 43% shooting, that or 25/5/3 on 39% shooting, depending on whether or not he's willing to adapt

too alpha for that shit. Pass? Rebound that shit.

[kennethgriffin]

he went from a 27/6/6 1st team all nba player to a 16ppg 37% shooting scrub the day he had that injury


i think kobe would have been averaging 24-25ppg the last 3 years with a fully healthy achilles and none of those other injuries that happened due to his compensations to make up for the lost athleticism



the injury robbed him of all time scoring champion
