RUDEBOY_ParticipantSome Lakers fans are blaming coach D’Antonio for Kobe’s injury..Saying D’Antonio has been riding him to get into into the playoffs and more importantly save his job…D’Antonio has been playing him over 40 plus minutes in the last couple of games…But Kobe took to Facebook last night and said he have used that move over a million times,but this time it just popped….He questions how can he come back as the same player at age 35?

The Lakers have some serious questions to answer this summer……….

Tongue-Out-Like-23ParticipantTo be honest, if there’s any player that can come back from this, it’s Kobe Bryant.
Terrell Suggs, at the age of 29-30, came back from this injury 100% in 6 months. If Kobe can have similar success, we could see him at full-strength come December or even November.
Question is, if Kobe does indeed take 8-12 months, does Dwight resign? I think if Dwight doesn’t resign, we are going to see a complete overhaul of this roster. We could see Nash retiring and Gasol traded and of course, the last thing Laker fans want to think about, Kobe amnestied. He’s due 30mil next season plus 50mil in cap hit. Meaning the Lakers would be spending close to, or over, 80mil to have him on the roster next season.

drk3351ParticipantThe thing is, even if Kobe can play sometime next year. The Lakers still won’t be very good. Nash is just too old, Gasol is getting older, Howard may not even resign, they have no draft picks this year, and they don’t have money to get any more good players. They have no depth when one of these injury prone players do get injured, and we don’t even know who’ll their coach will be next season. All that plus this team this year who had Kobe the whole season still only is 8 seed at best. The present and near future looks bleak in LA.

Ghost01ParticipantYeah, and so has every major basketball media member.
It’s pretty obvious when you play Kobe 45 minutes a game in an 8 game span, and he gets hurt, that he was playing too much. Fluke injury or not, this was going to happen sooner or later.

BenchWarmerParticipantI think heavy minutes played some part but Tim Grover said that heavy minutes didnt have an effect. Said you can get an injury like this stepping off a curb. Id take his word over mine.

PurpleMonkeyDishwasherParticipantKobe puts way more hours in the gym than he does on the court… might that be just as much to blame as minutes played.
He’s an extremely competitive person always pushing his limits and tendons, ligaments and joints weren’t made to last forever.
