How many more rings can Kobe Bryant get?

**kobefanatic** · 05-15-10, 12:35 AM

i think 5 this year is very possible, but getting another season should depend on how the free agent situation will affect the NBA, it the east somehow gets lebron/wade, wade/amare plus a couple of serviceable player LA will have a really hard time

possible, but not likely he will pass Jordan. Every year gets harder and with injuries and roster turnover it's not a sure thing. If Lakers win the next 3 yrs he could but he would be 35 yrs old with an againg Gasol also. Who knows, it's possible but not very likely. Chances of Lakers winning 4 straight titles would be a long shot and then he would be 35,,More than likey he will be beyond 35 trying to win titles but he won't be the same player then.

i think this lakers roster has it's core already set for the next few years, kobe,gasol,odom,bynum, artest this 5 will likely stick around for the next couple of years, they need some tweaking in their other positions in they want to win more rings, their bench is a big problem farmar and brown just don't cut it, they are too inconsistent, powell and mbenga

, i'd rather have kwame brown coming off the bench for the lakers, he's a good bench player for 15minutes a night, but he sucks big time to become a full time starter

Lebron will have 8 rings by the time he's 35..........

Well according to Tim Donaghy, only the NBA has the correct answer. LOL

See the 4th quarter of the 2000 Western Conference finals game 7 and the entire 2002 Western Conference finals game 6.

That was sarcasm. That would be 8 out of the next 10 yrs.

Lebron and Wade will dominate the next 7 rings. KD will not have his moment until these two place their names in the history books. Like Kobe fan said, depends on free agency next year. I hope Kobe gets 6 to end the Jordan discussion. If Kobe gets 6, you can't say Jordan was better.

you could still say jordan was better, just saying....

**kobefanatic** · 05-15-10, 01:33 AM

people will start to argue about the FINALS MVP

so if kobe really wants to overtake jordan he has to win at least 5 more rings to have at least 5 more finals MVP, although it's really a long shot
