no not right now. but wait till the playoffs when he's hitting fadeaway jumpers with 3 defenders around him, and we'll remember why he's a top 10 player all time.

The question is if he is still exciting to watch. Guess what alley oops, flashy dunks, and crossovers get people kids excited, not guile and craftiness.

The only excitement he brings to the kiddie table now is his ability to hit game winning buzzer beaters and such. Kobe aint dunking over no one anymore, which is the only thing that keeps the attention of us 'homerun, slamdunk, touchdown' kids.
Fixed.

But some of the stuff said on here it's like man kids nowadays they don't appreciate & enjoy watching good fundamentals, foot work, mid range shooting game.

couldnt you say the same thing about laker fans? talking about his foot work and mid range shooting? if you really think that watching a game with jumpers all day is exciting then i dont know what to tell you..

Yes he's still a top player in the league, of course he's still exciting to watch...All the elite guys are.

Granted, not  as much as  when  #8 was making a mockery of defenders but he still has a lot of highlights that'll leave u shaking your head.

I guess it depends on what each fan looks for, yes i like to see Blake try & tear down the rim every night but thats not the only thing that gets  me excited.

Riiiiiiiight, cuz only KIDS get excited to see dunks and crossovers. Give me a break.

I'm sorry that as a 26 year old guy, I dont jump out my seat in amazement when Kobe hits a fadeaway jumper. And neither does anyone else on this board regardless of age.

He's not as exciting to watch when you compare him to a guy like D Rose.
I'm sure alot of people will jump out their seats if that fadeway is the game winning shot
