My Top 5 Rankings: Shooting Guards Honorable Mention

* Disclaimer * I mean come on you shouldn't be reading this anymore. My opinion.

Honorable Mention:

Kobe Bryant

2013-14 stats: N/A those few games don't count

Come on people, did you really think I would make a top shooting guard list, and NOT mention Kobe Bryant? C'mon man. Kobe has been a figure, a poster boy in this league for a long time with his Jordan-esque career. Kobe is the closest thing to MJ in terms of skill set and career progresss, so you know he should be respected as so. Kobe has adjusted his game as he has gotten older, from athletic finishes to skillful shooting, something that is very useful to extend a career. In these past 2 years Kobe has dealt with major injuries that crippled almost his entire season, and signed a contract with an outrageous salary of 30 million a year for 2 years. By that I mean Kobe is on his way out of the league, but I think if he can stay healthy he can contribute his usually stats to the lowly Lakers. With Kobe's worl ethic and commitment to greatness, I don't think it will be a big problem to comeback from an injury. Honestly the Lakers need Kobe more than ever,  so if he's good, he'll have to carry the teams offense with at least 25 plus points per game if they don't want a losing season.... again.
