Kobe Bryant injury were among the reasons why Los Angeles Lakers' 2014-15 NBA season was a mess. The Black Mamba suffered a rotator cuff tear on January and never returned to the game since then.
The Lakers massively disappointed this season and one hope fans are holding into is to see the future Hall of Fame member back in action again next season.
It has been four months since the Kobe Bryant injury. How far is he from recovering? Good news Lakers fans, KB24 will return sooner than expected.
The Black Mamba appeared as a guest analyst for Sina's pre-game and post-game coverage for Game 3 of the 2015 NBA Finals and there, he revealed he is about to start shooting by next month.
"It's going very well," Bryant said as transcribed by Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News. "The strength in my shoulder is getting better and better by the day. Hopefully, I'll be shooting the ball in a month and month and a half. Then I'll feel like a fish being put back in water."
Kobe Bryant injury erased the remaining good thing in the Los Angeles Lakers season. Good thing rookie Jordan Clarkson provided some glimpse of hope. When Kobe returns, alongside Julius Randle and their no. 2 2015 pick, can fans hope of a better performance next season? Hard to say.
Meanwhile, right now Kobe is getting contended to analyzing the NBA finals between Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors. Kobe Bryant is impressed with what Lebron James is doing for the Cavs.
However, he thinks the NBA trophy is for the Warriors to take but the San Francisco team must do a better work executing their plan.
"Golden State should win, but they can't play tentatively," Bryant said. "They can't play scared. You gotta play, you gotta step up and meet the challenge. And right now, Cleveland and LeBron [James], it seems like they want it a lot more. It seems like the game and this championship means a lot more to them. So if you're Golden State, you really have to look in the mirror and ask yourself if you step up to this challenge. "
