If it aint broke, dont fix it? (Meaning the championship run) He is playing well with it injured, so I say just let it be...

Nah, it's best to keep it safe. He almost got injured in game 5. He needs to get it fixed. He still got many years left.

I hope he does.

I say, go for the fix. Even if it puts him 6months out, it's definitely worth it. He got many years left, and the urgency isn't there anymore. He doesn't need another MvP. Just more and more rings.

Hoping he fixes it as well. The Olympics was his excuse last year, now should be the perfect time to get it fixed.

He should do it, even if that means no Kobe in December

It's up to him. He's doing well with it injured and I think it'll be much better if he gets it fixed.

NO, THE RING HAS HEALED THE FINGER!!!

I'm tired of hearing about this finger...

it's a non-factor. He's become an even better shooter the last couple years, so it's just not an issue. His turnovers haven't increased, so it's not affecting his ballhandling.

If it doesn't concern him enough to get surgery on it, then it's probably not that big of an issue.

After all, it's just a pinkie.

I'm not sure, miles. It might hurt him in the future and make him struggle. Also, basketball is a very physical game and there is quite a good possibility that he might hurt again his pinkie. You don't control those things inside your body, but it might cause him some pain in the future if he doesn't get the surgery.

I say, better heal the pinkie.

I bet you a lakers championship that he doesn't
