Bryant talks recovery from achilles injury
Posted by Unknown on Monday, August 05, 2013 with 76 comments
While visiting China, Los Angeles Lakers G Kobe Bryant recently spoke of his recovery from a torn achilles that forced him to miss the 2012-13 NBA playoffs.
"The surgical procedure was different ... and because of that the recovery has been different," Bryant said. "The normal timetable for recovery from an Achilles, we’ve shattered that. Three-and-a-half months [and] I can already walk just fine. I’m lifting weights with the Achilles just fine and that’s different. So we don’t know what that timetable is going to be. It’s kind of new territory for us all."

This guy has the heart of a lion but that sometime can get u in trouble. I think he will come back early only to end his career quick.
ReplyDeleteI think u should shut up... Kobe knows what he is doing n what he is gonna do.. he ain't stupid I watch this guy play ever since he got drafted n traded... this guy haves a heart of a champion wether he comes back healthy or re-injures n retires nobody will be compared to mj like Kobe has... N not even that to me Kobe is better than mj period... die hard laker...
ReplyDeleteKobe over Jordan anyday and everyday! Best player to every play
ReplyDeletePut the drugs down
DeleteYa ok..yur an idiot
DeleteJordan>>>> Kobe <<<<<LeBron
DeleteKobe Bryant=G.O.A.T
ReplyDeleteAnd even if he does come back to soon and ends his career...the way he went out was good enough for me. Hitting 2 clutch 3's and limping to the free throw line to close the game wit tears n his eyes?? That was true greatness and u haters will never see shit like it again
Big deal you don't need your achilles to shoot a free throw dummy
DeleteHow many players u know would've limp out there and shot the free throws bitch?
DeleteOk so lets give him a cookie for shooting a bum ass free throw
DeleteYou have idea how fuckn stupid you sound, do you.. ^^^^
DeleteYeah the greatest of all time with only one mvp....yeah that makes sense. He has a good record, most missed field goals in nba history. Congrats Kobe lol
ReplyDeleteOn kobe n laker fans behalf we would like to thank u fa letting us know u a hater.. so that's da best thing u can think to say lmao.. dnt 4get to say he won 5rings while missing da most field goals in nba history.. it dnt sound bad at all now do it dumass
DeleteJpeezy
And how many ACTIVE players have as many or more rings than Kobe??? ^^^^^ IGNORANT
DeleteHow many of them played with the greatest center in the past 2 decades? None. How many have as many finals mvps? Hmmmm.
Deletelmao kobe is 1st in missed feild goal attempts if you count reg season and play offs. if you just count just reg season he his 3rd jordan is 2nd 1st is elvin harris. and kobe has played longer then booth. kobe has played in 100+ games then booth so no shitt he gna first. carmelo gonna end up with most misses in reg season.
Deletenothing but respect for kobe here hope he comes back n all is well and he can pick up where he left off. im not gonna comment ob the goat talk but like him or not I know a healthy kobe is good for all nba fans
ReplyDeleteHate?? Your the idiots saying he's better than mj. You act like he won those rings by himself. Hell he wasn't even the finals mvp of three of them. The other two he had two seven footers, so stop acting like he won them on his own. He can't even sustain any chemistry with teammates. He's the worst teammate of all time
ReplyDeleteSo I gues jordan his rings on his own so did lebron, tony parker, dirkn est... dum ass stfu u sound dum as hell
DeleteJpeezy
Jordan didn't win by himself but he was the main reason which is why he has 6 finals mvp's with 6 rings, lebron has 2 finals mvp's with 2 rings, kobe has 2 finals mvps with 5 rings and kobe shouldnt even have those 2 finals mvp's I honestly thought gasol should have the first one and artest should have the second one...against boston kobe had the worst field goal percentage in finals history so how can he win mvp.....they just gave him that crap
DeleteJpeezy get kobe dick out ya mouf bruh
Deletehow is he better than mj? They both played the same position and Kobe hasn't exceeded any of mj's milestones. Even though Kobe has played in the nba since he was 18. Mj retired three times and went to college and still has more points, rings, mvps, finals mvps, more everything. So saying he's better than mj makes no sense. Hell even Phil Jackson said mj was better, he should know he coached both
ReplyDeleteIts a nice mixture of dillusion and ignorance.
DeleteGreatest scorer of all time. Perfected every shot in the book out there. Respect.
ReplyDeletemj n kobe both have killer instinct when lebron is a flopper. Mj n kobe r art of basketball hangtime fadeway jumpshots crossovers circus shots also 3 pt records while Lebron is just run n gun and animal dunks.Like Dallas coach said in2011 we dont need animal dunks n alley opps we r playing whole team n Dirk co star.For now Dallas is only team that beat da heat not 1 not 2 but 3 times in a row from 1-2 to 4-2.
ReplyDeleteTop five of all time most def, but g.o.a.t i don't know about that. Got respect for the dude though. Yall be killing me with how much shit y'all be talking about lbj lol
ReplyDeleteMarcus, baby that's our man!!! Hes going to kick everyone ass lmbo. Tell em preach, lakers all day
ReplyDeleteLove Justin <3
Ooohhhhh shit preach. Yo boyfriend is bak. I fukn knew it. I knew it was real. U a true fag. No disrespect justin. He knos yo real name too. Hahaha
DeleteKobe Bryant has nothing to prove to anyone who's even the most remote basketball fan. Guy is a monster and its crazy how often he's skipped by Lebron with comparisons to Jordan. He's the closest thing to Jordan the league will ever see and thats not taking anything away from Lebron. Hopefully Kobe comes back healthy it would be great for the game. PS I agree, taking those freethrows like that was pretty historic.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Show me a more consisten player in the past 10 night after night on both sides of the ball. Shit, I'm a die hard Celtics fan and still a fan of Kobe. If I were building a team, Kobe would be the nucleous...
DeleteExactly! I'm a Celtics fan who also lives in Sacramento so seeing what he did to the kings and my Celtics was painful lol, but there was no one else dominating the game like him. Jordan/Kobe greatest 2 guards to river play and both will be in top 5 greatest all time (not gonna put in order).
DeleteSorry but Kobe is an overrated defender
DeleteMagic best player in the 80s
ReplyDeleteMj best player in the 90s
Kobe best player in the 00s
Lebron best player in the 10s
We can argue about whos the best all time but kobe was the best player last decade
I feel it.
DeleteKobe was only the best for half of the 2000's the other half lebron(from 2007 to present) was clearly better but kobe had the better team around him which made kobe look better than he really was
Delete^^^great point lebron killed kobe everytime they went head to head
DeleteN 2011 finals LBJ looked like a role player . Can't see how anybody can say he was the best player b4 then
DeleteOne playoff series doesnt defined your entire career
Delete*define
DeleteHey man shut the fuck up. Fuck you, and these ugly ass kids
ReplyDeleteTruth is man.. I cant get kobe off my mind. Ive been wanting his dick since I was a boy when he came into the league. I just wonder how big his dick is =)
ReplyDeleteLmfao I knew preach was a fag
DeleteFuck Kobe ball hogging ass. The game will be better when his old ass is gone.
ReplyDelete^^It don't get no faker than this nigga. I hate niggas like u. 1st u give Kobe props then u notice all the love he get then its fuck Kobe? Lame as hell. That's exactly why I continue to shit on yo favorite player. Why can't they all b great? Why can't they all b good for the game? Ya boy got back to back champs, and mvp's and y'all LBJ lovers still take the time to hate....just shows how great Kobe is . U know damn well as long as he is n NBA people will always question LBJ's heart and how great he really is
DeleteLebron showed great heart in that eastern conference finals game 6 against the celtics where he dropped 45, 15, and 5... just shut up you sound retarded
DeleteHe showed heart in that game 6 against boston and in indiana where he dropped 40-18-9 in game 4 or 5 preach quit hatin geez smh
DeleteI gave that fuck boy love in the first comment then look what the bitch ass Kobe fan come right back @ me wit. Fuck Kobe never liked him he fucking the game up teaching the kids to ball hog & throw yo team mates under the bus. Get yo old ass on u won't win another ship unless he rides another greats coat tail.
ReplyDeleteLike LBJ??
DeleteI like how you give shit to lbj for playing with dwade despite the fact lbj is the undisputed mvp of the team. While you seem to put it under the rug that shaq was the clear mvp for 3 of kobes rings.
DeleteLbj plays with great players, but kobe got carried by greater players.
^^^agreed
DeleteSo who carried kobe fa da last two rings he got dumass???? Nobody ever said kobe can do it by himself. . Hell Jordoan couldn't even do that.. LeBron choose to go team up wit wade n bosh like a pussy just to get some rings.. that nigga will never get respect from me.. yea kobe had shaq fa 3 of his rings but they didn't kall each otha n say lets team up n get some rings like lbj pussy ass did..
ReplyDeleteJpeezy
He had 2 7 footers, lamar odom, and phil to carry him
DeleteJpeezy u and preach is dumb as fuk and blinded by kobes balls forreal. Everybody is givin him his props. All we sayin is that kobe had GREAT players jus like lb did but yall always so quick to throw salt in lb game. And if u think for one second that kobe didnt have any pull or say so on gasol comin or howard or world peace or anybodybelse that came in and contributed to to a ring u stupid as hellm kobe rin l.a and watever he say go and shaq his dam self will tell u that. So kobe knew he needed help nd aint shit wrong wit that but dnt act lije yo favorite player is god like he dnt need help u pussy ass niggga
DeleteAnd since we gon play "if this person wasnt there u wouldnt have a ring". Kobe wouodnt have two of those rings wothout the twin towers bynum nd gasol. I dnt care wat yall say witout them it wouldnt have been a back to back and if you a true nba fan nd not bias u would admit that. And i can bet my life on it kobe put that together..
Delete^^^ everything you said was very true but when we speak the truth we get called haters and that we're bias... kobe is a spoiled brat he's a great player but he's not what his fans make him out to be
DeleteRegadless of people loving/hating kobe, a true basketball fan will miss him when he retires.
ReplyDeleteLets quit comparing him to mj and lebron and watch him play his heart out til his last game.
And basketball is a team sport, you need a great team to win the whole thing.
This Jpeezy cat sounds a lot like preach when he comments
ReplyDeleteIf you base greatness off rings then go ahead and rank Kobe bc he'll never see another one. Next season will just prove he's a warrior fighting on his last leg(achillies).
ReplyDeleteAnd y'all leave out the fact that Kobe avg 28,7,7 thru his playoff runs with Shaq. Hell 2 of those finals MVP could've very well been Kobe's but u feed the bigs cause that's how the game is suppose to b played. Just like I can say LBJ last finals MVP was more of a team effort considering the fact that LBJ looked average as hell games 1-5.
ReplyDeleteBottomline they both great, they both have flaws only difference here is on this pussy ass app...u bitch ass LBJ fans can't except truth. Yep Kobe can b a ball hog and bad teammate AT TIMES but if that's all hes ever been then there's no way possible he gets 5 rings and how Shaq gets 3 finals MVPs playing wit a ball hog is confusing to me
And I say G.O.A.T cause to me the best ball player is the guy that's gonna bust anybody ass n the gym and n my eyes Kobe is that guy. Now watch these LBJ fans say ball is a team sport...wit that weak shit. I'm not talkin about the best team.
DeleteYo terry, I know ya bitch ass sitting around googling and memorizing stats lb stats. Wat was LBJ stats during this last playoff run?
So what's your point? Lebron averages 28-7-7 for his career lol...dude you doin some mad reaching right now talking about those finals mvp's couldve been kobes but you gotta feed the bigs you just basically admitted the kobe wouldnt have won without shaq lol
DeleteAnd yeah lebron first finals mvp was more of a team effort because battier and miller was hitttin treys but who was setting them up and getting the assists I wonder? Lebron fuckin James
And how he look average I'm games 1-5 this year? He dropped 33 in game 4! Preach your debate skills are trash you make no valid points and you state no facts you just a kobe nuthugger have a seat bruh lol
Who the hell is terry? You got issues homie
DeleteThanks for making my points terry/ anonymous. LBJ fans can't except truth. Wanna take credit away from Kobe for who he played with like LBJ won shit without wade and bosh?? Smh Fuckin rediculous. Half of y'all LBJ fans can't even admit Kobe is a great player which shows where y'all bball I.q. is....directly up LBJ's asshole! And BTW u wanna give him credit for that game 5 where he scored 12 points against spurs garbage players n garbage time?? Pure dick ridin at its highest level. D wade won that game and anybody who wasn't blinded by LBJ dick hairs would tell u that. Chalmers won another, and ray Allen won game 6.
DeleteO and 28,7,7 is wat LBJ avg for his career.? If that makes him the best well I guess u can say Kobe was the best win he was winning titles with Shaq then. Cause its a lot easier to do that shit n the reg. Season than n the playoffs. LBJ has showed u that wit his disappearing, hot potato playing ass . And I'm still waiting on them stats terry
Nobody said lb won it by hisself dumbass learn how to read first bitch. Thats wat we tryna get yo homo ass to underatand. Nobody has done it by them selves nd never will so stop tryna make it seem like kobe is god to the nba or somethin. Weve admitted kobe is great nd one of the greatest to ever play but yo punk pussy ass the one thats never admitted lb is too. Nd he aint even 30 yet. Yo ass the one that cnt except truth about kobe. Nd lb carried the heat on his bak through the whole playoffs nd soon as he has 2 off games hes not clutch nd dissappearing now? Dwade more disappearing then him if thats the case. He didnt scire over 20 pts before that breakout game since first round against the bucks. But wat happened in games 7? Lb took the fuk over nd shut everybody loud mouth hatin ass up WEN IT COUNTED nd held BOTH of his trophies up nd tld preach/marcus hatin ass he aint got no worries.
DeleteNd yo ass be the main one googling stats. U be sayin stats from 20 yrs ago. Aint no way u be knowin them off the top of to head wit yo fake skip bayless wanna be ass
DeletePreach bruh seriously who the fuck is terry is that your boyfriend or something you trippin on something serious homie lol
DeleteBlinded by LBJ dick hairs!? Wtf!? You gotta be a fag saying shit like that...no grown man I know sits and talks about a nigga dick hairs smh
DeleteLmfao omg peach you are hilarious!!!! I really must intimidate you lmao...this dude is arguing with an anonymous dude thinking its me and you still callin me terry like that my name lmao....say anonymous dude ignore that dumbass nigga he thinks my name is terry so he calls me that thinking its gonna bother me that nigga lame lmao this is my laugh for today wow
DeleteLol I was wondering who the hell he was talking about...
DeleteI never said kobe didnt need help, I said lbj ran to wade n bosh like a pussy.. thats basically like mj, bird, n Barkley getting 2getha... or like kobe running to dirk and melo smh.. I just dnt respect dude..
ReplyDeleteJpeezy
Jpeezy
Dude your stupid the only difference between kobe and lebron is kobe had his help come to him because hes in a big market in LA and Lebron was in a small market in Cleveland where nobody wanted to go so lebron left to get help instead having help come to him like kobe did
DeleteThey both got help but every great team has needed help regardless who its come from. But Kobe never teamed up and made a "decision" a team was built around him that arguably had maybe 1 other star (Pau Gasol). The fact remains Lebron left and joined 2 stars. Which is working out great for him as he's getting rings, but in terms of respect the nodd definitely goes to Kobe in my opinion. But regardless there both 2 of the greatest to ever play, just enjoy the game and all its stars.
DeleteThat's my point kobe never had to leave because all his help came to him....no one would come to Cleveland
DeleteYea I know Cleveland isn't the a LA market, but even if it was that was just Kobes time and Lebron would have needed a Dwayne wade to try and come close to challenging that. I'd even go on a stretch and say if you added a solid pg a big and some bench guys Kobe could still get number 6(If healthy of course).
DeleteBut wade hasn't even been healthy for a whole playoff series yet...thats why I can't give him that much credit... he deserves a little credit but not much because most of the time its lebron carrying wade
DeleteThat's true, but I don't believe kobes been fully healthy for years now maybe more so than wade. But Wade definitely doesnt get as much credit as he should for the games he does show up and the little things. Its not like Wade hasn't came through when Lebron didn't, I can think of multiple times over the last couple years and during that Mavs series in 11. I've seen Wade carry that team more than I've ever seen Gasol carry the Lakers.
