    The man looks to be in great shape again (that's a shocker) and he seems to be having the most fun he has ever had in his career.

    More power to ya Mailman.

    He's gotta return if he wants the scoring title, and you know he does...

    I think that's the biggest reason he's stuck around this long. More than the title hopes even.

    Well if he's healthy enough, not injury-proned, and still has love for the game, then he should give it another shot.

    I don't want him to get the scoring title, and since I don't want the Lakers to win the championship, i guess i don't want him to get that title either.

    I just think the career scoring title is more fitting with someone who actually won a season scoring title, which as VAs Finest noted Malone has not.

    Oh yeah, I think he's definitely in good enough condition to do what he needs to do, and even play another 2 season after this.

    Gotta agree with you there, but he still has love for the game, and this is good news. Because if Kobe does happen to leave, we will still have a solid shot at it.

    As long as he can still be productive, I have no problem seeing him back here next year
