not sure exactly what "full activity" means, but it can't be too far off from "game ready"

PG seems like he could be even better than Kobe... IMO.

there needs to be a strict minute restriction on him this year that is enforced, the more draconian the better, I say.

I seriously hope Mike doesnt run him to the ground again. We really need Nick Young.

Kobe quotes time

@mcten: Kobe on his rehab: "I'm progressing faster than everybody expected so I'm very happy with it." He is targeting mid August for full activity

@mcten: Kobe on participating in drills with campers: "I'm limited. I'm not going to be able to do too much w/o the Lakers having a heart attack"

@mcten: Kobe: "I could shoot right now (on the court), but we just don't trust that the tendon is holding yet. Typically it's 4 months, minimum"

@mcten: Kobe on Dwight: "I'm happy for him. It's important for free agents to make decisions that they feel is best for them."

@mcten: Kobe on the meeting with Dwight: "Everybody was dead-a** serious. It was pretty funny to me."

@mcten: Kobe on unfollowing Dwight on Twitter: "Listen man, it's just me. That's just how I am."

@mcten: KB on unfollowing DH: "I have a hard time following people that want to beat us ... Not to say we're not friends or I don't respect him"

@mcten: Kobe when asked why DH left: "Once a guys decides to go someplace else, I'm going to waste my time trying to figure out why that happened?"

@mcten: Typical sarcastic Kobe walking into his presser: "Sorry to pull you all way from @RyanKelly34" (The rook met w/ reporters earlier on Weds)

Dr. Robert Klapper ‏@DrRobertKlapper 8 Jul
The new advance for sewing the Achilles involves a special way to LOCK the sutures together as you weave the 2 ends together.Will not retear

Dr. Robert Klapper ‏@DrRobertKlapper 8 Jul
The Kevlar like sutures we use to sew the Achilles together is NOT as strong as the Scar the body makes. KOBE will not tear it again!

Dr. Robert Klapper ‏@DrRobertKlapper 8 Jul
When you tear your Achilles you cannot stand. KOBE shot 2 free throws. He is recovering in record time! We will see something special!

Dr. Robert Klapper ‏@DrRobertKlapper 8 Jul
KOBE was right! Having his surgery immediately after tearing his Achilles does speed up his recovery. Less muscle atrophy to rehab

Dr. Robert Klapper ‏@DrRobertKlapper 21h
The Scar that forms around the Achilles repair is 360 degrees around the tendon. The body remodels and smooths this down over time=painful

Dr. Robert Klapper ‏@DrRobertKlapper 20h
Sutures in skin for Achilles we remove after healing. Sutures below skin body will absorb. Stitches in the tendon for repair stay forever

Dr. Robert Klapper ‏@DrRobertKlapper 20h
@trips82288 not a partial tear but a complete/full tear. How KOBE could walk unassisted and shoot 2 free throws is a mystery. MAMBA MYSTERY

In short kobe defied anatomy and physics off pride when he walked out and took free throws, and likewise he did what no one else would got surgery that quick after a tear. That crazy old bastard
