LOS ANGELES — It’s up to Kobe Bryant now.

Bryant has full medical clearance, I was told Sunday by someone in a position to have such knowledge—meaning he can do anything and everything without restriction as the recovery from his ruptured left Achilles tendon nears its conclusion.

Lakers coaches and basketball operations staff are all content to wait for Bryant to decide in his own mind when he’s ready to resume one of the greatest careers in basketball history after one of the worst injuries that can befall any basketball player.

Dec. 6 at Sacramento? Earlier? Later? It’s Bryant’s call, but what is certain is he can now push himself as far as he wants in his first full-speed practices of the season beginning Tuesday. After so many recent days of running but no sprinting or sprinting but no cutting or this but not that, Bryant has been freed even for five-on-five contact scrimmaging whenever he so chooses.

The reason Bryant was able to appear in Lakers team practice Saturday—albeit in a very limited capacity, with players doing less-than-full-speed drills against no defense—was because any and all restrictions on his activity had been lifted.


UPDATE: Kobe took part in full-contact 5-on-5 drills in practice today. He hopes to make his return this month

"The evidence recovered by police included the T-shirt that Bryant wore the night of the incident, which had three small stains of the accuser's blood on it. The smudge was verified to be the accuser's blood by DNA testing and probably was not menstrual blood because the accuser said she had her period two weeks earlier. It was revealed that Bryant leaned the woman over a chair to have sex with her, which allegedly caused the bleeding. This was the sex act in question, as the accuser claims she told Bryant to stop but he would not, and Bryant claims he stopped after asking if he could ejaculate on her face."

Why? He will now get better stats in the Christmas game, because Kobe will switch on him few times.

I'll be equally happy to see him come back and be great and come back and be awful. The NBA Fan in me wants more good players but the Laker hater in me hopes they stay awful.

Lakers haters should want them to be mediocre and barley miss the playoffs. awful this year = a very good thing.

Not sure if we're gonna see the same kind of player game to game, but I have no doubt we will see a decent number of signature Kobe performances. His skill set doesn't just go away because of an injury.

A block in a meaningless game is the only retort? :roll:

Not trying to be a Kobe/Lakers homer, but something I've always noticed is that Kobe plays Lebron really well on defense. Sometimes I watch and it's almost as if Lebron is afraid to go hard at Kobe.

We've seen Kobe's two blocks against Lebron in the ASG, Kobe defending Lebron for the final possession (miss) in the Team USA White/Blue Scrimmage, Kobe's full court press on Lebron, and Kobe/Lebron's numbers against each other on iso's (spoiler: Kobe wins this match up).

Kobe, when he puts his mind to it, is an exceptional defender. He won't back down and doesn't want to be embarrassed when matched up with Lebron, so he goes hard at him and does a good job.

Let's be honest, we may hate Kobe stans but Kobe playing is awesome for the league. Closest player we have to MJ. I hope he stays healthy.

His whole on court persona is just Jordan-esque. No denying that. He may copying MJ, but damn he does a good job of it.
