Kobe Bryant is willing to allow his game to evolve as he enters the final phase of his career coming back from a torn Achilles.

“There’s different ways I can go,” Bryant said. “Obviously, the easier of the two would be if I could have the same type of explosiveness that I had last year. It makes my game very easy. But if it’s not there, I’m ready to adapt.”

Bryant signed a two-year, $48.5 million extension with the Los Angeles Lakers this week.

He should have said that last year. Maybe they would still have a chance of a stacked team. Now no one wants to go their until he is gone

Yea he was so terrible last year... 27, 6, and 6 on 46% shooting, who would want to play with such a trash player?

Dont bother :lol:

. I don't get where this perception that Kobe was garbage last season is coming from. His defense has slipped with age but he has adjusted his game more than any superstar ever. Offense was still all-NBA last year. He single handedly saved the teams season when lottery looked inevitable and he guaranteed playoffs.

I am white-mamba. And I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide.

I'm far from a Kobe fan but Bryant played awesome last season, it was one of his most efficient seasons ever. The Laker's problem was that Howard, Gasol and Nash all took huge dips in production last season and all 3 are having similar struggles this season as well.
