12. Kobe Bryant

25.8 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 5.1 APG, 1.4 SPG, 20.1 PER

If you’re a regular of the power rankings, you’re thinking, “How did Kobe Bryant jump so many spots from last week?”

Very easily, honestly! Bryant is playing his best basketball of the season over the last few games. In two consecutive games, Bryant dished out 12 assists against the Toronto Raptors and 13 assists against the Pistons. Steve Nash, what?

In the Raptors game, which the Lakers won, Bryant also had 31 points and 11 rebounds to go along with those 12 assists for his first triple-double of the season.

But, he shoots too much, right? Tell them what the haters gon’ do, Taylor?

Shake it off, Kobe!
