Probably about 4 or 5 years.
How much longer will Kobe be a top 5 player??

Yes. He is. I don't care about your opinion on this one, because if you don't think so, you're just straight up wrong.
C - Bynum 20
PF - Gasol 27
SF - Odom 28
SG - Bryant 29
PG - Farmar 21
C - Mihm 28
PF - Turiaf 25
SF - Ariza 22
SG - Vujacic 24
PG - Fisher 33
PF - Radmonovic 27
SF - Walton 28
That is what the roster should look like next year and beyond. Damn perfect.
I expect Farmar to take over the starting role eventually, maybe late next season, and have Fish play fewer minutes and all that stuff. A little B Shaw in hisgame eventually.
Kobe shouldn't need to go balls out for 80 games a season anymore, though he should play in more playoff games each year then he has the last 3. So intheory, he should save a little wear and tear on himself while the rest of the team does more heavy lifting then Laker fans are used to. Since Kobe is adriven man, and wants to not only try to get more rings, but also his individual goals, he should play high level for at least 5 years, with maybe 2 or 3 lowerlevel years to get his credentials up.
They need to start locking a few guys up to make sure this roster reaches it's full potential of growth and development. The only thing that could derailall this is either injury, or players getting lazy after the contracts though. So hopefully, we can sign everyone, but still keep them hungry and improving.
Do it Mitch.

I'll give him 5-6 more years. It's hard to believe he's still just 29 cuz he'd been in the NBA since I was in grade school...

That lineup is looking really nice.
As for the question, I see Kobe playing well for another 5-6 years. As mentioned earlier in the thread, it would be hard to imagine Kobe not dominating theleague anymore because he has the desire and the motivation to always be the best. However, that day is going to come, and when he retires, along with thoseother players, it is going to be a very sad day.
