[Hoot Gibson]

This year was his best statistical year since 2007-2008.
Keep in mind it was a shortened season...
but I honestly think the procedure on his knee has given him at least 2 years and at most 3 years of top-5 scoring production left - and from then on out it will be based on how long he wants to play.

This is an amazing statement. Kobe Bryant hit only 43 percent of his field goal attempts and this was his best year statistically since 2007-2008? I wonder how long the Lakers will allow Kobe to hoist so many shots to keep his scoring average from declining as his skills slip away.
