Kobe Bryant has been showing a lot of fatigue since he went 3rd in the All-Time scorers list. The challenge is over. And from the looks of it, he looks tired. The task is done.
Even though Kobe has the “Never Settle” mindset. It looks like his body doesn’t. The Lakers are seeing this and according to the LA Times, the Lakers are considering resting Kobe Bryant a couple of games.
“There’s probably not much of an option … it might make sense,” he said quietly after making only eight of 30 shots (26.7%). He had 25 points and nine turnovers.
“It’s fatigue and then just general soreness, joint soreness, body soreness,” Bryant said.
If he needs rest, the quickest solution is sitting out Tuesday’s home game against Golden State. After that is the Christmas Day game at Chicago, followed the next day by a game at Dallas.
“I take a lot of pride in trying to play all 82, obviously,” he said. “People come and spend their hard-earned money and come to watch us play, hoping I’m out there. I try to take that into account every single night.“
If your over 35 and you participate in all 82 games. That’s a feat within itself. Unfortunately that’s something that Kobe won’t do. Well he could but he shouldn’t if he wants another couple of years.
