Kobe Bryant in his prime

November 22, 2014 by Archived posts 95 Comments

By Javier Rodriguez |Staff Writer| After 19 seasons of NBA play, recent Achilles and knee injuries, and considering the fact that he is 36 years old, Kobe Bryant is still defying Father Time and hushing critics. Most recently named the 40th best player currently in the NBA by ESPN, Bryant is proving that low rating wrong by leading in NBA scoring as he reaches 32,001 career points, which makes him about 290 points away from Michael Jordan's career points (32,292). Skeptics are quick to doubt Bryant's ability. However, Bryant lets the negative talk fuel his drive and ambition. Maybe he wasn't at his best during Friday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs when the Lakers lost … [Read more...] about Kobe Bryant in his prime
