Oh hey guys, long time no Kobe thread, amirite? I really want to point out the brilliance of Kobe's 2013 season, because I don't think casual observers realize how elite his play was at 34 years old. Get it together, casual observers. First, let's look at the stats:

PPG - 27.3
RPG - 5.6
APG - 6.0
BPG - 0.3
SPG - 1.4
PER - 23
FG% - 46.3%
3pt% - 32.4%
FT% - 83.9%
TS% - 57%

He also started 78/78 games (popped his achilles in game 78) and played 39mpg.

I'm not going to breakdown how well these stats stack up to his previous years, but suffice it to say that those numbers are extremely competitive with the top 10 seasons in his career. Personally, I think 2012-13 was one of the five best seasons he had given his age. I've often wondered if Kobe was on some special sauce, because his play and athleticism in his 17th year is just insane.

Now, let's roll the tape!

Kobe is an over-rated POS, has no leadership, and will not win a championship ever again

what was the lakers record, and whats so impressive about those numbers? Steve nash put up better percentages across the board except ppg at that same age im sure

ETA just checked, go look at nash's 2008 season and lol at you thinking those kobe numbers are impressive for a 34 year old

The only thing impressive about that season is the wear he put on his body, which failed under the pressure.

Kobe is the ultimate MSB example of a guy whose career was SLIGHTLY overrated so long that it became criminally underrated when it was all said and done.
