magicbalala245 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) Kobe Bryant is still just 30 years old, but that doesn't mean his odometer isn't flipping digits like an '86 Volvo station wagon owned by a couple of liberal arts professors at a small Maine college. It's easy to forget how long Kobe's been around and how many games he's played ... so allow me to remind you. 948 in the regular season, good for ninth among active players. (Assuming good health, by mid-season 24 will break into the top 100 in pro hoops history.) Looking just at minutes logged, Kobe is seventh among current players at 34,531. This doesn't include his 175 postseason games and their additional 6,888 minutes on of burn. This is not to suggest that Kobe is ripe for decline the dude keeps himself in terrifyingly good condition but the Grim Reaper (roundball version) eventually comes for all who play, even the best in the game. Kobe will be good for a while, likely very good, but won't be Kobe forever.

Force Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I thought this was something about Odom..lol. Yeah, pretty crazy that Kobe's already a what? 13 year veteran in this league yet only being 30 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Goods Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Kobe is such a well conditioned athlete, he still has many years in front of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
