Jim Hill had a chance to talk to Kobe at the game yesterday

With just two months left until camp, all an upbeat-Kobe is thinking…is getting ready for camp.

“Thank God,” Kobe said about the upcoming season. “We gotta get going so we can put last year behind us and get this thing moving in the right direction.”

Seems even Kobe is talking about he's excited about getting for training camp. Is he telling us something?

Not having a limp is a heck of a lot different than being able to play at full speed in an NBA game.

If I were Kobe I wouldn't rush back.

Yeah, but to go from achillies surgery to walking without a limp and doing stairs in 3 and a half months is really good progress, and great to hear.

From the tone of the interview, it seems Kobe is really looking forward to this upcoming season

Yea for everyone except Rose, not having a limp is the exact same thing as being able to play in game. True

I'm actually with you on this one Imadogg.. People will be right back in D.Rose camp when he gets back on the court. Don't equate Rose for sitting the year out last year for him being a coward. He's young and wanted to make sure he's physically and mentally right before he plays another game. I find nothing wrong with that at all IMO

The league is in a world of hurt when this man comes back. What happened last time when they said Kobe will never do it without Shaq? Just some food for thought. :wink:

I'm one of the biggest Kobe homers there is... And even I have no idea what level this guys gonna be at when he comes back... But I do know wherever he ends up in regards to production, he busted his A** getting there. Respect
