I was looking Kobe stats, and in 02-03 season he gave 30 points, 6,9 rebounds and 5,9 assists, playing with ONeal (28-11-3) This season he is giving 28,3 points, 5,4 rebounds and 5,5 assists, followed by Odom's 18-9-5 My point is that I also think Kobe is playing a better basketball than last year, but he had better numbers in other seasons. His improvement cant be seen in numbers, because, if we look it in that way, 02-03 season was his best. I remember you that english is not my language, so sorry for the mistakes. I also hope you get my point.
