Matters on who the team is and who Kobe was covering on the defensive end. If your leading against a team like phoenix or Dallas who can score in runs you need him in there for a scoring option. If Kobe is guarding a man like Gilbert Arenas, Wade, or T-mac he may have to stay in because of his lock down D. But yes I would always keep Kobe in because he is a crowd fave and fans come to see Kobe. Kobe also is tied in second with 7 points per game in the fourth with LeBron and wade is in first with like 7.4....

indoors the Immortal words of Aerosmith: "Dream On"! The Celtics are going to win Sunday and the subsequent time the Lakers come to Boston, they are in a position to stare on the Celtics' 17 international Championship Banner! Scoring 50 components in each and each pllayoff interest does not make Kobe the ultimate of all time. Wilt Chamberlain generic extra efficient than 50 components a interest for an entire season in 1961-1962 and wager what? The Boston Celtics beat Chamberlain's Philadelphia Warriors team. Mike Jordan submit sixty 3 components in a playoff interest against the Celtics. wager what? The Celtics gained that playoff series.

You leave him in until you're sure you got the win in the pocket. Teams ever come back from bigger deficits than that. When you have a team that defends and attacks like the rest of the Lakers, you can't risk taking Kobe out too early.

Going into the 4th, yes you leave him in... 12 minutes is alot of time for a come back... If Ohio State can get the comebacks they have been having lately, then an NBA team can do it also....Id leave him in until about 5 left if I was still up by 18

Of course. The Lakers can certainly blow a 18 point lead without Kobe in there.

It depends how much time is left in the 4th quarter because if it is the beginning of the 4th quarter then I would leave him since the rest of his team is young and have not matured yet.

Yes, 12 minutes, hell yea. The 76ers(granted they suck) went in to the fourth(today) with like a 25pt lead over the Bobcats, won by 9.

Kobe could score 30pts sitting next to Phil.
