Kobe Bryant Predictably And Correctly Called ESPN’S National Basketball Association Rank ‘Silly Stuff’

Last year, the Lakers’ fanbase made a pretty big stink when Bryant was ranked the #40th best player in the league despite coming off of a severe achilles injury. Sports, Los Angeles Lakers filming protect and professional athelete Kobe Bryant doesn’t wish to be when compared with Michael Jordan.

Bryant said, “Please don’t ask me about silly stuff like that”.

Such was visible and resident star Kobe Bryant took the lead in emphasizing that if they are to improve this season, it all starts by playing good defense.

Although Bryant was thought to have a chance to at least match Malone and potentially make a run at Kareem’s point total, it no longer seems possible even if Kobe were to extend his career another two years. “I don’t need to defend that”. Fans are simply unaware of the fact that he’s not still the same player.

According to Baxter Holmes, the Lakers star was ranked 7, 6, and 4, respectively in the first 3 editions of #NBArank. This season’s panel didn’t go so far as to call Bryant names, but the profile was not positive.

“This ranking puts him much higher than advanced stats suggest”.

Why? Well, for one, much of these young turks could end up walking if the Lakers continue to lean on Bryant and deprive them of their chance to take the cudgels of being the team’s new franchise player. If he manages to stay healthy this season, not only will he prove all the doubters wrong, but he will make a significant impact to the Lakers who have a very bright future and can find themselves squeezing their way into the playoffs with the eighth seed in the Western Conference. “Our voters chose to give him the benefit of the doubt and move him up to 93rd”. And in the 41 games Bryant has played over the past two seasons, he has averaged 21.1 points per game while shooting less than 38 percent from the field.

“He’s been active defensively, using his lane to try to disturb ballhandlers”, Bryant said.
