Very clear last year that he's slowing down just a little.
I think it's too early for him to retire though.
Just depends on his own personal feelings on whether or not he still wants to dominate like he always have or just be an above average player in about 3 years from now...

points. Enjoy!
Kobe is one of the best shooters out there and still has a nice first step and great fade away...he can get off so many shots most NBA players cannot...and he shoots them at a higher %
but that last play is a reality check for him. He elevated for that shot and in his younger days it may not have gone in, but he wouldn't have gotten blocked. I think all 3 guys could've had a part of that shot....either he lost some vertical with age or everyone else got that much better

I watched that last shot he took against the bulls, you are right he didn't seem to elevate like we've seen him before. I have a feeling a little bit more into the season we will be saying, ''oh yeah, he's still got it!'' It's Kobe Bryant. Even if he's lost his vertical a bit and getting older which is enivitable, he has enough skill to find other ways to score without elevating over everybody to put the ball in the basket.
One thing I love about him, you will never see him not trying his hardest. The guy is a true competitor and his passion for the game resembles Micheal Jordan.
Micheal Jordan...man I miss watching him play. Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem, Penny, Reggie Miller etc. Those were the days.
