Kobe Bryant only lasted 6 games last season coming off a torn achilles. Why? He suffered a fractured a knee which at the point in the season ended his 2013-2014 NBA season. Everyone is doubting Kobe’s health and durability this season with good reasons as you can see. Kobe is doing all he can to silence his critics. Los Angeles Lakers coach Bryon Scott has announced Kobe will play 8 pre-season games for the Lakers to shake off the rust, get his timing right, and get his legs ready for the Lakers opener on October 28th.

Kobe Bryant is on a mission looking to prove his doubters wrong.
