Fantasy Analysis

One reason Bryant has been so receptive to Jackson's balanced-scoring formula this season could be that the 13-year veteran no longer is missing a scoring title or an MVP trophy from his voluminous resume. "Kobe does have agendas at times that will come out," Jackson said. "A couple of years ago when things didn't go well, he went on that tear. So he could get into that. It's a long season, but I hope he stays focused on what the overall plan is." Kobe is averaging a 25-5-5 line over his last five games and his production seems to be just where it should be.
