Milwaukee Bucks forward Jared Dudley advises Kobe Bryant to slow down

Kobe Bryant should start "toning it down" as he enters the twilight of his career, says Jared Dudley.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Jared Dudley has revealed that many players believe Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant is too selfish.

The 36-year-old has had an injury-plagued last two seasons, and Dudley insists that he is trying to make up for lost time.

He told ESPN: "If you saw [Michael] Jordan when he played with the [Washington] Wizards, he started toning it down a little bit. He knew he didn't have it. Kobe is the opposite. He wants to show everyone so much.

"I remember seeing Kobe, I think it was 70 games in [last season] and he had outshot the whole Lakers team by like 100 shots. C'mon now. We love you, Kobe, but c'mon. It's, like, it's now time to start giving up. Most guys don't want to play with Kobe."

Bryant is a five-time NBA champion.
