Although 2012 Kobe was still a killer. And 2012-13 was one of his better seasons. Being 34 years old still dominating and being the 3rd highest scorer. But yea everything post achilles isn't even Kobe

@@emjay1249 Ngl 2013 had the same look in his eyes like 06 and 07. He was playing pg a lot or else he would have averaged 30+ easy. 3pt shot looked the best since 06 too. Imagine what Kobe could have done in the playoffs. Once Nash stayed healthy I think they could have beaten the Spurs in the first round.

See this? This is what greatness is. Kobe didn’t give AF about who his opponent was. He grined on both sides of the court and fought back for the lead. He had literally no help that season. It was already impressive enough they made the playoffs and in the west too. This is what separates Kobe and Lebron. Kobe never gave up on his team. We miss you king mamba. Us laker fans ain’t doing so good rn. RIP 😔
