2012-13 was Kobe's last great season as in Year 17 he put up averages of

Despite it being Year 17, that season Kobe was 2nd in minutes played per game at 38.6 (Only Luol Deng played more at 38.7) due to the fact that after a slow start to the season, Kobe had to play big minutes to drag the Lakers into the Playoffs
Between December 7th and December 26th, Kobe went on a 10 game 30 Point streak
Kobe averages during that stretch
34.4 PPG 5.4 RPG 5.0 APG

In general in the 1st Half of the season, Kobe's great play did not translate to many wins
After 42 Games the Lakers were 17-25 and looked like missing the Playoffs despite Kobe averaging 29.2 Points on 46.5 FG% 35.2 3p% 83.8 FT% shooting splits

Kobe made a guarantee that the Lakers would make the Playoffs and completely lived up to it as the Lakers finished as the 7th seed with a 45-37 record
Leading up to the Achilles injury, Kobe went absolutely insane
In the final 3 games of his season this is what Kobe averaged

Also worth mentioning that the Portland game was 2nd night of a back to back after the Lakers played the Hornets the night before in a game in which Kobe scored 23 points in the 4th
In his 17th year, Kobe played a full 48 minutes on a 2nd of a back to back on the road

In the game that Kobe tore his achilles in, he was as per usual dragging the Lakers back into the game
Before Kobe tore his achilles, he hit these back to back clutch 3s against the Warriors to tie the game with 3;40 remaining

And although Dwight only missed 6 games, that season he was playing hurt the entire way which definitely hurt the Lakers and made the job harder for Kobe
Nash and Gasol missing over 30 games didn't make it easy either. There was no stability within the squad
The Lakers were barely able to put out the Nash Kobe MWP Pau and Dwight lineup that season and when they did towards the end of the season, injuries derailed them again
