Kobe Bryant Diagnosed With Torn Rotator Cuff

It just seems like father time has finally caught up to Kobe Bryant. From a torn Achilles in the 2011-2012 NBA season right before the NBA playoffs, to a knee fracture that limited him to just 6 games all of last year, and now a torn rotator cuff according to the Lakers.
