    I just wanted to say how irritable it is for me to see people continuously discrediting him. He's not even a threat anymore, he's retired and his career is still being discredited. Any other player not named Kobe with his career staf line would at least be top 20-50, 3 titles ago.

    I'd like Lebron to win 3 titles while in LA. Beating the C Bags in the finals for 2 of them. That's all I care about.

    Not really...

    Ingram is solid, does not really appear to be that alpha, take charge player. Probably reminds 24 of Odom. Hart is a well rounded complementary player that can be taken for granted. Randle's gone.

    Ball has the hype...can affect the game without being stats jumping out at the casual viewer which 24 likely sees. Kuzma isn't afraid of the moment. Wins or losses die with him. Plus he has a connection with 24.

    Curious.. Kobe has been in the gym twice daily for 12 days now, beginning at 5am.

    Shedding middle age weight? Or?

    I would still take Kobe over Melo at this point.

    I joked about him returning too, assuming 'LittleBirdie' is joking as well? If not it would be fun to witness.. until of course he can't jog the floor. And if not joking, what gym and where/how did you find out?

    If it weren't for that achilles injury and even worse the long time knee problem.. then I suppose he could do the Jordan old man game back his man down in wing/post isolation and rely on the turn around. He'd get 20 a game with Lebron being the main offensive threat.. and probably raise the shooting percentage quite a bit.

    But the truth is he limps, his fingers are pointing in the wrong directions and he's gained more than a little weight. Let the G.O.A.T. of the West rest, he deserves it. He's killing it in his new career choices, no surprise though.. he's a smart dude.

    24 has been fully immersed in his film-making career. Saw a recent SI Lee Jenkins story about it. I don't think he'd want to look foolish coming back either...a shell of his former self being embarrassed on the floor and be criticized for taking some of James' spotlight.

    Lol at a new poster called “little birdie” dropping something like this for fans to chew on

    Kobe said he had his time, and that it’s others’ time now. He ended with 60 points, and hasn’t practiced since. He struggled badly while he was back with his body breaking down. He squeezed out all he could.

    We should get used to spotting these guys fairly easy.

    It's Kobe. I thought that was obvious.

    I'm referring to the original comment and then mention of a "site".
