has kobe bryant won his last ring?

I would say yes not because Kobe couldn't but because Mike Brown is his new head coach... I mean really Mike Brown is checking Ron Artest ??? Not likely

I don't think he would risk his legacy by pulling a lebron

Well you have OKC & MEM (if they resign gasol) improving, and both teams give them problems (OKC nearly dragging them to 7 last year & MEM with marc & z-bo to battle gasol & bynum, and then 2 of the best kobe defenders in the league with allen & battier), then DAL will still be there. I think kobe has seen his last finals appearance.

Is it possible that he won't? Yes.. Is it a 100% guarantee that he doesn't? No..


For a man who is washed up and over with... He still averaged 25.3 ppg on a limited time basis.. That's 5th in the league.. Kobe is there to score.. He played 5 minutes less than KD averaged 2 less a game.. And was shooting how he normally does percentage wise..

His player efficiency went up to near 2007 & 2008 levels..

He is losing a step no doubt in terms of living around the rim (which is a giant step) & against the top handful of players in the league on defense.. But he is still able to put up similar numbers to his past 2 championship years, with less minutes..

Extra month to "rest" from game situations, and 20 or so less games will be good for him coming into next year.. Not to mention he has a better ability to train and condition for the upcoming season this year, that he did not have last year because he doesn't have knee surgery to keep him shelved doing virtually nothing for a month in the offseason, and at his level of mileage, you need every advantage you can get in off season training and conditioning, you can't just bounce back from an 82 game season, and knee surgery like you can when you are 5 years younger... 

We don't know what the off season has in store at all, we didn't see the Big 3 coming last year.. But I don't think you can really count him out especially someone who according to most NBA players has an unmatched work ethic, lost in embarrassing fashion in a huge year, and can see the end of the road coming up..

Regardless of what is going on the Lakers were still 2nd seed in the West, and the 4th best record in the league.. They have huge problems in terms of finding a steady Point Guard, gritty and more productive bench players, and defending the pick and roll... Lakers are Hollywood and that has been there mentality for decades.. And especially the team the past 3 years.. Except for this year they could take plays off, take games off, hell even take stretches of a few weeks off, and still come out on top.. They did it this year and were embarrassed...

If they come out like they did this year, they won't win... But I wouldn't say it is a foregone conclusion that they won't win.. We don't know how they react to the beatdown from the Mavs, because they haven't even played a game yet..

Win a ring without Phil, and it will happen before he retires.

lol @ the haters in here acting like Kobe was putting up Tim Duncan type scoring numbers this season or something

Don't be surprised when he's still elite next season.
