This has to be the best duo in the league.
Odom struggled in 1st half of last season to understand the offense and the system, but after the all star break, he put all star numbers and was the leading man alongside Kobe in playoffs.
If Odom plays all year like he did at the end of the season, he will be at Las vegas in Februarym wearing the West uniform.
However, Odom is having a tough time because of the lately death of his infant son. Maybe like Kobe in 2004 following the rape accusation in Colorado, playing basketball will be like a therapy for him.
Kobe's knee hurt him all year long last season but though he put the highest scoring average in 19 years.
While he's still recovering from this summer surgical operation, Kobe seems to be ready to have another MVP type season.
I don't expected him to score 35+ a game, specially when I saw he played smarter during the playoffs, delivering more assists while taking 10 less shots per game.
Wait and see. The 1st game of preseason is scheduled tomorrow night, and the opening season is on October 31st...vs Phoenix.
