Kobe Bryant has never been in better shape, and he's never played a better stretch of basketball than he has during the Los Angeles Lakers' current five-game winning streak.
Let's review the facts: Kobe, who's still only 28, is the planet's most physically talented player.
He scored a mind-numbing 268 points (53.7 points a game) during a stretch when his team, a youthful outfit plagued by injuries all season, won those contests by an average margin of 4.4 points.
