We are winding down to the final days of Kobe Bryant's career. Literally, as of Monday, he only has two more games to play in his life as an NBA player. Naturally, the media continues to ask about Kobe and how his final games will play out. Byron Scott, who has had a very interesting year as the Lakers head coach, continues to be a bit puzzling when answering questions.
Byron Scott’s official plan for Kobe Bryant’s final games is ‘Get KB the ball’
Kobe is going for 82. Maybe.
Lakers coach Byron Scott said he has one message for his players during timeouts:

"Get KB the ball."
Byron Scott said Kobe will play more minutes in his career finale than Kobe has played all season.

Kobe’s season-high for minutes: 37.
It’s unclear if Byron is trying to honor Kobe or run him into the ground in his last stand, but either way, Kobe does not seem entirely on board.
Kobe Bryant's message to D'Angelo Russell: "If you want to honor the career I've had, then, you come out and play the game the right way."

As long as we get more vintage Kobe on Monday and Wednesday, all will end well.
