How a 37 year old 6-6 205lb shooting guard should retire:

29 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds
Coming off of a season of:
16.1ppg (44.9fg%, 85.5ft%), 4rpg, 4apg, 1.1 steals
Kobe's gotta fight to get back on track with his field goal percentage but he can still retire at the end of the season gracefully like that with his current statlines as long as he starts taking smarter shots.

Yeah, because he's going to stop taking stupid shots in his 20th season. He has and will always be a chucker prone to taking bad shots...he just doesn't have the skill anymore to get the good shots he took along with them. I watched him try and put a move on Iggy and all iggy did was just slide a little bit to the left and that was that. He can't even get himself a good shot anymore, so this is what he is left with.

He said if he knew they were going to get Larry Bird he would have stayed around for two more years.
Wow.

Wow, dude was 37 (actually 38) and he was still the most mobile player in the court. You idiots can claim whatever shit you want about eras, all I see is that compared to this complete stiff version of Kobe, Hondo looks like f&cking Jackie Chan. It's day and night.

Hondo was only in his 16th NBA season...Kobe is in his 20th. Also Kobe has way more injuries througout his career and that achilles injury 2 years ago would have been a career ending injury for most athletes his age.

Kobe, though, never accepted this. He wants no second roles, still wants to play it prima donna, thus exposing himself to more failures and more injuries. If he continues like this, it's a matter of time before he gets injured again. Yes, a healthy Kobe would definitely fare better than now, but a Havlicek with Kobe's egoism would also easily inflate his stats like he never did (but screw up his %'s, defense, etc).

Im not talking about their effectiveness on the court or who the better player was at the same age...i was just replying to your comment about Kobe being stiff physically and Havliceck looking way more mobile.
