One of the reasons that Kobe can attack freely and much easier now is that Dwight is finally setting screens and off screens that open up the lane.

Bout time . The benefit is very clear!

Kobe is using Dwight as the decoy and wall from one side to the other while getting to the basket and will often run his defenders into where Dwight is standing(whether he's setting a screen or not) and using it to get to the rim. He used Shaq the same way

And thank god Dwight is, I remember that first game he n nash started clicking with the P&R and Dwight immediately said afterwards that he was committed to it, couple weeks later and it definitely looks like he's telling the truth! Also the fact that he can set good solid screens AND still beat his man when rolling to the rim is testament to his increasing health (that and the fact that he's out jumping people when going for rebounds again... Seeing him soar is a sight to see, can't wait til he's 100% back!!)

Kobe is the Western Conference player of the week again. Had 33.0 pts, 8.8 assts, 5.8 rbds per game.

Incoming another Player of the Month. No doubt.

Kobe is 3 on the MVP chart to me right now.

I would love to say he can win it but the media is so in love with LeBron at this point (it's somewhat justified with his incredible season).

I think he's a serious candidate at this point if the Lakers continue to win games. He's balling out of his mind right now.

Random question but does anyone know where to find the full version of Kobes Sunday conversation with Wilbon?

wrong! the reason is like I begged for him to do weeks ago = stop primarily only attacking offensively from post position & or by a back down move. I said get back to facing up his opponent & attack str8 off the dribble. Once he finally listened the #s have been cr8z.

Damn ill say this and might be the first to say it. Kobe Bryant is having a crazy year IN AGES and hes going MONSTER in the playoffs.

weeks ago, dwight was unable to set solid screens and they hardly ever ran kobe/dwight P&Rs

 

u guys are both right in some aspect

It kind of worries me how Kobe has repeatedly mentioned how tired he is. I really hope he doesn't end up retiring after his contract's up.

Kobes' career is the definition of "you don't know what you have 'til it's gone". The haters and naysayers will realize sooner or later, and Kobe will have the last laugh.
