Kobe Bryant....Is the End Near?

[Wile E. Coyote]

If somebody told you 28 PPG is the end of any career, what would you have thought their prime would be?

I'm not ready to proclaim his slump over after he feasted on two of the worst defensive teams in the NBA. The bottom line is, he's still having arguably the worst shooting season of his career, and he's still primarily a jump shooter at this stage of his career, which isn't exactly a formula for playoff success.

Because his skill level is so high he's always going to be able to put up great games, probably until he's 50 if he played that long. But do I think he's going to suddenly switch into a new gear after being force-fed minutes by our coach during an accelerated season? Let's just say I'm doubtful.

game winners make the pain go away, I just wish he was capped at 28-30 minutes before the playoffs

With Mike Brown as the head coach sadly it's not going to happen. He doesn't trust his bench thus leading to a worn out starting unit.

Kobe is in the death throes of his playing days!
