The world is unfair.

It's funny how during the game time thread, haters were insisting Kobe was faking it. :facepalm

This is the same injury Rose is coming off?
So sad. Be well soon, Mamba.
F*** you D'antoni

Los Angeles Lakers @Lakers 19m
Vitti says its a 6-9 month timetable for @kobebryant
[QUOTE=NoGunzJustSkillz]This is the same injury Rose is coming off?[/QUOTE]
nope. rose suffered a common injury that usually takes 2-3 months for a full recovery.
29 athletes in the 4 major US sports have suffered a COMPLETELY+RUPTURED torn achilles tendon, 27 never played again, and 2 have been nothing similar to what they originally were, Ken Griffey in the late 80s and Bill Samson for the Bucks in the late 90s
lol at kobe coming back anytime before 10 months. :roll:
[QUOTE=Rysio]so mamba will be back for season opener? :bowdown:[/QUOTE]
I think the most real scenario is december.
The only question is....will he be on the all-star ballot :coleman:
What the hell happened to at least a year? With that timeframe, he'll be back at least before all-star break, possibly before the season. I guess that ends the amnesty talk.

what will you say when kobe comes back before rose

Domnique Wilkins wasn't a full tear?
When is Dantoni getting fired?
Well that sucks

wow f[COLOR="Black"]uc[/COLOR]k this, he was NOWHERE near done career wise, but yet this may be the one that does him in :( :(
I'm counting on Mamba coming back next, hopefully stronger than ever, but at 35 it feels like ship most likely has sailed :cry:
But we should NEVER count Kobe out, and should always remember one thing

[QUOTE=NoGunzJustSkillz]Domnique Wilkins wasn't a full tear?[/QUOTE]
nope. common misconception. Nique has a partially torn achilles tendon

Reminds of me of the Bad Luck Brian Meme:
April 11: before the GS game :“‘There’s no secret,’ Bryant said. ‘There’s no magic formula. I watch what I eat and I train my ass off. I’m in the type of condition right now that, a lot of my predecessors at this age probably couldn’t do it.’
April 12: Tears Achilles.
Looking at this from a postive side, if that is even possible, but 6 months means he can be back to start next season.

Rose hasn't been out 12 months.

Yeah guys come back from torn acls in 2 months all the time.

Kobe Bryant @kobebryant 6m
MRI time! [url]http://instagram.com/p/YDobvERNi4/[/url]
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.

gosh.
the full retards on this forum
In 9 months, Kobe will learn to [SIZE="4"][B]WALK[/B][/SIZE] again. There is no tendon there. its gone. its COMPLETE tear.
He'll be lucky if he makes it to next year post-season!
complete tear of achilles is WORSE injury than ACL tear.

No
Don't build up that expectation - 35 year old don't do that shit.It will be better for him to completely use maximize his recovery period.
I was never a fan of Kobe but this is sad, never liked the dude but I didn't want him to go out this way ...

After Dominique ruptured his Achilles, he averaged 29 ppg, 24 ppg and 26 ppg the next 3 seasons. Difference is 'Nique injured himself in his 10th season, Kobe in his 17th.
**** him and his fans.

Nique was 31 when he had PARTIAL rupture i believe.
Kobe is pushing 35 yrs here with COMPLETE TOTAL TENDON GONE.
Kobe is finished. He is a 10 ppg player off the bench after 18 months of full rehab.
His explosiveness which he had minimum to begin with at age 34 will be reduced even further.
