Re: Will kobe play until he is 40
Grant Hill gives a lot of older players hope ..I dont see why Kobe cant be a high level role player like him when hes 38-40.

Too bad Kobe has far surpassed the minutes Grant has played.
Kobe's career reg season minutes:37366
Grant hill's?30552
Kobe's playoff minutes?7811
Grant hill's?1212

Then again, if they keep getting talent, who knows.
It all depends on how Kobe adjusts his body in terms of his off-season and really what team he has around him.
Alot in Lakerland are hoping Bynum does pan out and he can be one of the main focal points on the interior. Hopefully he stays healthy.
You're right it could be a tall order but if anybody can work enough and adjust It's Kobe. As I said it depends on his motivation and how many rings he does win in the next 2-4 years too.

Wishful thinking, people have said the same crap fro the past two years.
Kobe isn't going to decline for a good while yet.

Re: Will kobe play until he is 40
I'm laughing at the fact of Kobe playing 25+ years in the league at age 40. That is truly some crazy shit. I've only really heard of one other guard that could probably do something like that. It would definitely be something to see.

Indeed it would, If Kobe stays injury free it's possible.

I'm well aware of how many minutes he has played but I also know what kind of worker Kobe is in terms of working out and staying injury free. He was at 29, 7 and 6 last year..there is no reason why he won't keep up those numbers for a good amount of years yet.
But at the end of the day we can't predict the future so who knows.

He's following Jordan's footsteps so he'll play til he's 40.
Only difference is he won't have two retirements in between.
