Think given the circumstances, I'd of had him around 15. Maybe even higher.
But 25 is a joke lol.

I would take Kobe over the majority of the guys on that list.

smh does his injury play into this at all? because he should still be top 15, maybe top 10

That's what I thought initially, but they've yet to rank Derrick Rose.
 
Maybe they won't rank him at all, I don't know.

The rankings are based on what they believe players will be this year, factoring in injuries, decline and natural growth

Kobe is significantly better than 21-24. Jesus Christ.

ESPN are a bunch of awesome, infuriating trolls.

 

[Knock'Em]

This list is pointless. Kobe is number one!

 

[jonathanlambert33]

No he isn't lol

He's coming off a brutal injury, he'll earn his rightful place sooner than later.
