    My team will always be the Bulls - but I'd love to see Kobe have a good pain free year.

    edit - I think that if he's injury free, he'll climb those ranks quickly. At least I hope so.

      The Bulls will be one of the top five teams this year I think. If they have no major injuries. 4 players among top 100 at espn.

        I always have high hopes, but it will depend on if Derrick Rose can overcome his injuries mentally and physically. He looks good so far.

          He does look good so far. His shot will come later, but he still looks quick and strong.

          By the way, Klay Thompson is going to have a killer year. He'll be ranked much higher than 38 next year IMO.

    In my older age, I'm becoming more of a player fan than a team fan. I like watching some of the older players do well. My oldest son is 20 now, and we've been watching NBA games together since he was a pre-teen. So watching an older player like Kobe is nostalgic for us. We were elated to see Tim Duncan and the Spurs win last season.

    But we both agree that we'd like to see Kobe have a good come-back season before he retires.

    Very funny Tim.

    I'm sure Kobe will be among the top 10-15 players in the game by seasons end - as long as he doesn't get hurt.
