Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant ranked 6th best NBA player by ESPN

By Mark Medina

September 26, 2012, 3:39 p.m.

The fractured wrist Kobe Bryant played with continued to throb. But that didn't stop him from playing.
Not when he'd compete against the Phoenix Suns, a team he still hates for beating the Lakers in the 2006 and 2007 NBA playoffs. Not when he has the wrist still attached to his body. Not when he has another opportunity to showcase his drive. Not when he still can score at a prolific rate. Not when he could prove an off-shooting night the previous week against Denver would simply become an anomaly.
So after dropping 48 points in a regular-season game last season against the Suns, Bryant sat at the news conference table expressing amusement at the ranking a panel of ESPN writers gave him the previous off-season.
"Not bad for the seventh best player in the league," Bryant said sarcastically with an amused grin.
Well, it looks like Bryant might have fresh motivation entering the 2012-13 campaign for reasons beyond having a chance to win his sixth NBA championship. This time, ESPN ranked him sixth overall after he averaged 27.9 points per game last season, second-best in the NBA behind Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant (28 points per game). He's not even considered the Lakers' best player since center Dwight Howard is guaranteed to rest somewhere in the Top 5.
The mob you hear outside your window might be the stream of Bryant supporters with pitchforks and torches convinced this marks the latest example of the media denigrating his body of work. But when you delve further into the rankings, that's hardly the case. A panel of 104 members of ESPN ranked each NBA player on a 1 to 10 scale in evaluating "the current quality of player." With Bryant resting at an 8.8, it's fair to suggest his evaluation from person to person stayed pretty high.
Some supporters will lament the media exaggerating Bryant's decline. After all, Bryant's compiled five NBA championships, a fifth-place mark on the league's all-time scoring list, the Lakers' all-time leading scorer (29,484 points), four All-Star MVPS, two Finals MVPS and one regular-season MVP. But the current ranking actually reflects well on Bryant's ability to stay among the league's elite despite playing 16 taxing NBA seasons -- that's 1,381 games (including regular season and playoffs) and 59,658 total minutes.
Bryant managed to jump up a spot in the player rankings from last year after having an innovative procedure on both his right knee and left ankle in Germany. Last season, Bryant looked more explosive. He attacked the ball with more aggression. Bryant proved effective enough to increase his usage rate to 35.67%, which nearly mirrored his league-leading 38.74% clip during the 2005-06 season. Bryant strung together six 40-point-plus performances and posted at least 30 points each in 23 other games. And Bryant did this while nursing a torn ligament in his right wrist and recovering from a concussion at various points throughout the season.
Still, Bryant showed some weaknesses.
Bryant's 43% mark from the field represented his lowest shooting percentage since his second NBA season in the 1997-98 campaign. He averaged 3.52 turnovers. Bryant's hero-ball mentality and the Lakers' front-line passiveness both contributed to the team not fully maximizing its offensive talent.
There's a chance for Bryant to climb again in the ranking this season. Bryant told reporters this off-season he lost 16 pounds before the Olympics so he'd stay more mobile. Steve Nash's presence should relieve Bryant's ball handling duties. The Lakers' acquisition of backup shooting guard Jodie Meeks could lower Bryant's minutes. With this less-is-more approach, Bryant could prove more efficient and productive without the heavy baggage.
It remains unclear how that dynamic will play out. But one thing seems certain: Regardless of whether Bryant's current ESPN ranking is fair, it'll surely help fuel his insatiable competitive motor to further his greatness.

Rajon Rondo

Rajon Rondo commits to leading Celtics

Wed, Sep 26, 2012 12:43 PM EDT

The Boston Celtics spent last week in enemy territory, daring to venture into Los Angeles to spend some time together. They scrimmaged at UCLA, ate lunch at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles and hung out at the homes of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. They even played flag football.

 
Rajon Rondo helped guide the Celtics to the East finals where they lost to the Heat. (Getty Images)The event planner for the week of bonding was point guard Rajon Rondo. After an offseason in which his maturity was questioned and his relationship with former teammate Ray Allen was scrutinized, Rondo wants to show he can lead the Celtics. One of the first steps was welcoming a couple of new teammates – Jason Terry and Courtney Lee – to Boston's L.A. retreat.
"I wanted J.T. to play with Kevin. I wanted Courtney to see how Paul likes to play. I wanted Paul and Jeff Green to go at each other," Rondo told Yahoo! Sports. "I wanted to play with those guys. It was getting guys away from our actual training facility to get a new view.
[Related: Ainge twice calls Rondo the Celtics' best player]
"I wanted the guys to have fun. When you're with me I want you to say, 'Man, I had a good time with Rondo.' And I think that's what they did." Allen might not share the same warm feelings for the time he spent with Rondo. After five seasons in Boston, Allen signed with the Miami Heat in July, and his strained relationship with Rondo was dissected. Rondo admitted the two didn't always get along, but he also said he respected Allen as a player.
"People act like because me and Ray didn't get along or they think me and Ray didn't get along that I'm a bad person or he's a bad person," Rondo said. "No. It's just life. If you look at your job, everyone doesn't always get along with every co-worker they work with. It's just part of life. People are blowing the Ray thing out of proportion. We had some words, but other than that it was no big deal.
"There were so many rumors like I was looking Ray off. Why would I look Ray off? That doesn't make sense. He's the best shooter, so why would I look him off? People can see it how they want to. They can talk to Ray. But from my standpoint, he made his decision. I don't know why he made the decision, but he made the decision. I don't think it had anything to do with me."
The Celtics are expected to enter training camp with nine newcomers, including five rookies and Green, who missed all of last season after having heart surgery. With all the new players, Rondo thought it would help the jelling process on and off the court to have a players-only minicamp outside of Boston for five days. After considering Las Vegas, Rondo settled on Los Angeles where Pierce and Garnett live in the offseason. The only Celtic that didn't attend was center Darko Milicic, who signed with Boston just last week.
[Also: Chris Paul is convinced the Clippers have the secret to beating the Lakers]
The Celtics leave later this week for Europe, where they will have training camp and play preseason games in Turkey and Italy.
"It's too early to say what we gained [while in Los Angeles]," Rondo said. "It was about building relationships before we get to Turkey."
Rondo averaged 11.9 points and 11.7 assists last season. (Getty Images)The UCLA workouts were especially valuable for Rondo to help him get to know Lee and Terry. In addition to Allen, guards Mickael Pietrus, Keyon Dooling and Marquis Daniels are gone from last season. Celtics coach Doc Rivers has previously said guard Avery Bradley could be back from shoulder surgery in late December.
Rondo said he has already grown to like Lee's athleticism and Terry's high basketball IQ.
"The game is about tempo," Rondo said. "We don't want to make it more complicated. It's just basketball. I am just trying to get the timing with J.T. and Courtney. That is why I wanted to get to work early, so I can know where I want them to be when I drive baseline or drive to the middle and where they like the ball."
[Also: Dorell Wright thinks new teammate Andrew Bynum is better than Dwight Howard]
To add some fun, Rondo also put together a flag football game at UCLA that included referees. Rondo said the only Celtics that didn't play were Pierce and 7-foot, 255-pound rookie Fab Melo "because he might hurt somebody." Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Smith, a close friend of Rondo's, also played.
"My team won," Rondo said. "We dominated. I had seven touchdowns and zero interceptions. I had a nice kickoff return back. We had fun. K.G. was the quarterback of the other team, but they had to sub him out because he wasn't getting any touchdowns."
Rondo has developed into one of the NBA's top point guards and helped the Celtics win the 2008 championship. His only goal now is to deliver another title. While he calls the defending champion Heat "the team to beat," he thinks the remodeled Celtics have enough talent to dethrone them.
"We won a championship and that's great, but I don't want to settle," Rondo said. "I have a lot of NBA time left on my clock and I got the talent around me. Everyone can't say they can compete for a championship each year. With the talent around me now with the Celtics, it's time to obtain that goal.
"There are only five teams right now that can say they can compete for a title realistically. And we're one of them."
Rondo, 26, now has six seasons of experience, enough to give him confidence he can lead the Celtics – even with a couple of strong-willed veterans (Pierce and Garnett) on the roster.
"I've kind of taken that leadership and veteran role because I am a point guard and I have been in Doc's system," Rondo said. "Other than [Pierce], I have been here the longest. I know exactly what Doc wants, especially for me and this team. I'm trying to lead the team the best that I can."
