Kobe Bryant Already has an Excuse

Kobe Bryant isn’t the most humble person on the planet. Far from it. And when the Miami Heat landed Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh, many wondered how Kobe would act. Well, his first major move since then was undergoing knee surgery.

Is Kobe Bryant already making an excuse for the 2010-11 NBA season? Probably not … but this knee surgery sure did come out of nowhere. Last year, Kobe whined about his finger injury but there was no known plan to get knee surgery.

For fans of the Los Angeles Lakers, the good news is that Kobe is expected to be totally healthy by training camp. The bad news? Kobe may already be crafting a reason for why the Miami Heat win next season’s championship.

The Wade, LeBron and Bosh trio is already sending shock waves throughout the league. Teams are scrambling to figure out how to match-up with the Heat, while players like Chris Paul are asking for a trade so they have a shot in this new version of the NBA.

    True, he will take on Miami this year but you forget that the Lakers, Boston, to name but a few have more experience and not allow themselves to do.
    I, following the Lakers fan, I am confident that a good season Kobe
    Wait and see

    You obviously do not know the Lakers or Kobe Bryant to be writing this article. He is the best damned warrior in the NBA and he’s not making any excuses. In fact, he is getting healthier because getting a three peat in the face of Miami’s superstar team would improve his legendary image. Lebron James just gave Kobe Bryant the keys to immortality and Kobe is fighting with everything he has for a three peat. The surgery is a warriors preparation for war.

    This article is a joke. Kobe had a broken finger and a knee that needed to be drained in the playoffs. He was hurting. He never has made excuses, instead he’s won constantly. Lebron on the other hand has had to make excuses for coming up short.

    And to say the surgery came out of no where is simply wrong, this is his 3rd knee surgery since 2003. Kobe has playing in over 1200 NBA games in his career and is over 30 not to mention he plays harder then anyone in the league! Of course he’s going to need to go under the knife!

    This is such a dumb article, from clearly an anti-kobe reporter. First and foremost during the playoff kobe had to have his knee drained just so he could play. Now because he had
    a knee operation you think that’s an excuse. Kobe is a fiest competitor and will only see the new maimi heat team as a challenge
    for him to test himself against. And who says that the heats are going to make it all the way to the finals? Its so obvious that you most really love lebron jame for you to even think about
    writing this article. Terrible my friend, terrible.
