@MV

Those people you mentioned were all supremely talented and would have succeeded in any environment given the playing time.

Dang, it's his shooting arm. Anyone has video of how he got it injured? It's not good but at least it's better than tearing anything in the lower body. Might have avoided it if he had played less or came off the bench. Good for the tank tho.

Thanks for the honesty.

Actually that's inaccurate.
He could have partially torn it years ago and it completely tore at that game. It could have happened at any time. It could have happened in the first minute of the first game of the year.
It has nothing to do with how many minutes he played this year, and whether he came off the bench or not.
If you're trying to make a point that Kobe should have played less minutes this year, using his injury is not the best way to prove that point.

Kobe should be forced into a full body MRI and have anything even remotely problematic fixed while he's out... He played with a rotator cuff injury... He's not the best judge of his own health. ;-)

I hear you, but if he does a full body MRI (or any of us for that matter), he'll find things that he never wanted to know about.

Those things can find the slightest abnormalities. A hypochondriacs wet dream.

You think that's bad, stay the hell away from genetic screenings.
