Like any other type of sports, injury would always be lingering on the sidelines. Even toughest players in the NBA are not immuned to injuries, MVP or not. The four-time NBA All-Star Game MVP, Kobe Bryant is one of the many players who suffered severe injuries from playing the game. The Los Angeles Lakers' superstar suffered a torn right rotator cuff back in January leading to a nine-month medical recuperation. But as the said medical timeline comes to end, the 'black mamba' was reportedly announced to be medically cleared for all basketball activities, practice games included.
This was not the first time that a severe injury was encountered and surpassed by Kobe Bryant. For it can be remembered that Bryant also injured his Achilles tendon and later on had a therapy for his torn Achilles. And upon being medically cleared back in December 2013, Kobe returned once again to play for the L.A Lakers. Such return of Kobe became a source of inspiration for most people; words of encouragement and congratulations flooded the social media upon the announcement that Kobe Bryant was medically cleared to play once again. And this time around same thing is to be expected as it was announced that after suffering from a torn rotator cuff, Kobe is once again fully cleared to play.
Now that Kobe is fully cleared to play with his L.A Lakers team, tides are expected to change. With Kobe's experience and leadership, L.A fans are expecting a comeback, especially that their team had a hard time last season. But still some are doubtful of what could Kobe contribute with the coming season, for since his Achilles tendon injury, Kobe had not found his consistency in the game. Considering that the latter part of Kobe's career is marked with series on injuries, some fans and critics are thinking that this season would perhaps be the last season of the NBA superstar.
Perhaps it is still too early to consider the upcoming NBA season as Kobe's last season, for he might have some new tricks to show after long months off the court. What is your take about Kobe's comeback to NBA, would this mean his last as well? Share your thoughts and comment below.
