“We don’t know what the future holds and I don’t know what Kobe plans on doing after this season, so what I try to do is just enjoy the time that he’s here”, Scott said.

Lakers: Bryant was held below 30 points for the second time in his last nine trips to MSG….
“I’m really relying on him to kind of tell me how he feels body-wise and energy-wise”, Scott said. “If I have a bad shooting night, it’s, ‘He’s in the grave”.
“You hear about the guy being down, struggling with his shot and going through all of those other things”, Wade said.
“It’s soreness and something that I can knock out with a little rest, a little treatment”, Bryant said Tuesday. “It’s not like an injury-injury”.
A performance that didn’t go unnoticed by Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra liked “I like the identity this basketball team is starting to embrace”. Similar to what the former Chicago Bull and Washington Wizard Michael Jordan, this last season could be an official send-off for the former Most Valuable Player and 5-time National Basketball Association champion.
“As of right now, yeah”, Scott answered. “We’re just going to play it by ear and the games that he’s ready to play, he’s going to play”.
Bryant spent much of Sunday’s game against the NY Knicks trying to turn back the hands of time, or joking around with friends Sasha Vujacic and Carmelo Anthony.
Knicks: Lopez played a few possessions with only one sneaker after it fell off while he was playing defense and play didn’t stop to give him a chance to get it back…. Bryant said Tuesday that his back had been bothering him since training camp.
“I don’t remember ever talking about it in training camp”, Scott said. The Lakers split a pair of games last season with the Magic as each squad won on their home court. That from a player who teamed with LeBron James for four-straight Finals appearances and a pair of rings.

NY | It’s off to Florida now for Kobe Bryant, for two more games that will potentially be his last in those cities. Kobe is averaging only 16.5 points per game, which, over a complete season, would be his lowest scoring average since the 1997-1998 season, and he is shooting an unthinkable 21% from three-point range.
