Kobe Bryant is one of the best players in the NBA right now. My question is: at the age of 32 how much longer will Kobe continue to be the #1 player on his team?

How many more years can the Lakers ride on Kobe before they begin looking for a stronger #1 and Kobe moves into a veteran type role?

Will Kobe win another ring as the teams leader, or will he win a ring as the teams #2 or #3 player?

Who cares if he wins another ring as a #2 or #3 option? The point is that he would have won another ring. Why are people so obsessed with someone being a leader or a number 2 option? It's stupid. If Lebron would have won a ring this year, people just would have said, nope doesn't mean as much since Wade was the first option.

He can still do it. But it'd be wise to start looking for someone to take some of the load off of him.

Well, Jordan was still tearing the league up into his mid 30's so if Kobe can keep healthy and not play too many minutes then he could still be a top 10 guy for 3-4 more years.

I would say realistically next season they need to start hunting for a new #1.
