Bryant didn’t play in Oklahoma City on Saturday, two days after dunking for the first time this season against Houston. At his pace, he could finish this season with the lowest field goal percentage for a player in a season in National Basketball Association history. He also discussed other topics, such as how the Lakers should handle moving on without him next season and dismissing the possibility of a post NBA-career.

Despite Bryant’s latest feat, the Lakers’ offense is still iffy.

“I spent literally an entire summer showing (them) my pump fake”, Bryant said, “and how to draw fouls and then they both fell for it”.

Bryant has no illusions about what he’s dealing with at this stage.

In addition to Bryant, Lou Williams (17 points, 6-of-11) and Jordan Clarkson (16 points, eight rebounds) helped keep the scoreboard running for L.A. But when someone of his age is the centerpiece of a team, they are not going to win many games. “Nothing new”, teammate Julius Randle said with a casual shrug.

The Lakers are still too raw. Bryant again begins the possession focused on Barton off the ball, but the younger guard is still able to leverage his superior speed to leave Kobe chasing him.

After struggling with his shooting accuracy for most of the season, Bryant offered some of his own special effects.

As impressive as that may sound, it is incredibly sad.

Kobe Bryant started last game at the Denver Nuggets, after a sore shoulder benched him at OKC. Marc Gasol (19) led five Grizzlies players with double figures of points scored, with Mike Conley adding 18 points and six assists. But when Bryant kept missing shots and his team kept trailing, it is surprising that at some point, he did not decide to stop taking shots. That surge turned an early 15-point deficit into a three-point lead, but it proved to be fool’s gold for the Lakers.

Jumping the Lakers bi-weekly winning schedule, Bryant only needed a week to get LA its next victory.

Small forward Kevin Durant is adjusting well to the offensive tactics of first-year coach Billy Donovan and has scored 20 or more points in each of the past 14 games.

When Bryant has missed games, the Lakers have somehow looked worse.

“Listen, you have to be realistic about what we’re facing and where we are right now as a team and as an organization”, Bryant said after the Lakers’ record dropped to 5-24.

The reality is that Bryant can not win 40 games by himself when he’s “almost 40”, as he referred to himself on Wednesday night.
