The Mamba’s nearing 100% health after 16 month layoff
For nearly two years, Kobe Braynt has been recovering from a torn Achilles tendon suffered in April of 2013. While the team has struggled to surround their star with proper role players, they did manage to go out and grab both Carlos Boozer and Jeremy Lin, as well as drafting standout Kentucky freshman Julius Randle.
Before Los Angeles takes court this tomorrow for their first pre-season game of the year against the Denver Nuggets, Kobe opens up how he’s been preparing over recent months to return back to elite form – and gaining much needed to last the duration of the season.
After re-energizing his legs and gaining confidence in his body again, the Mamba loves coming back under-the-radar to prove any doubters and most of all his competitive opposition whether he’s still able to average big points; but most of all, be a contributing teammate to a young squad.
Still at the top of highest paid players list for the upcoming season neck and neck with Amar’e Stoudemire and Joe Johnson, Kobe’s just ready to get back on the court this week.
