If it's a complete tear, then that's basically the worst case scenario and I think Vitti is being really optimistic with that 6-9 month time table. Maybe he's saying that to keep Kobe's spirit up.
But a complete tear from my understanding is that the person will barely be able to walk at 9 months.

THIS!
[B][U]In 9 months, kobe will LEARN TO WALK[/U][/B] Without crutches & get use to newly formed tendon.
It could even be 12 months.
[B]If kobe rushes himself or doctors rush him for 2014 post season, expect re-injury or partial tear or severe bruising that can hinder the healing process permanently.[/B]
He can rupture it again.
Kobe should just forget about B'ball for 18 months to 2 yrs period from here on out.
& kobe once he comes back after 2 yrs, he should be a bench player contributing 10 ppg & this is the only way he can play NBA at peak level.
Nobody is gonna watch NBA now They just lost 90%+ fans, including oversea fans. :cry:

Lebron just needs to string together a couple more titles in a row to crment his legendary status and be new age Jordan aka face of the nba for next 6 or 7 years..
Got to laugh at the people blaming D'Antoni. If he'd taken Kobe out of games you'd complain. When Kobe makes the decision to stay in games you go on about how much "courage" he's showing and how nobody is "tougher" in the NBA than Kobe.

[QUOTE=chosen_one6]The question isn't whether Kobe will play again or not. It's whether he's going to be able to compete at an all-star level again or not.
My money is on the latter.[/QUOTE]
If he keeps on chucking he can get his points.
Hopefully he'll be back at sometime before christmas.
IF he is somehow able to come back from this being no worse than he was when he went down, this is his ticket to the top 5 on the GOAT list.
At this point, I say:
15% he never plays again
60% he plays and realizes soon enough it's the end and retires in 2014
20% he plays for a few more years but is nowhere near 1st or 2nd team all nba
5% he comes back as good as he was
IF it is the latter, he is going to be a threat to everyone's legacy that played before him. Slim chance, but we're talking about Kobe here.

Would be awesome, but imagine if kobe's first game back was on Christmas Day. Probably the most watched NBA Christmas game ever.
[QUOTE=Nash]Hopefully he'll be back at sometime before christmas.[/QUOTE]
January 2014, Kobe will LEARN TO WALK.
He aint realistically coming back till Christmas 2014 in extreme contact sport sense.
well there goes the asterisk
