The three coments above are all so cliché and stupid, it's hilarious. If you got nothing to add stay out of this thread. Didn't know about this new policy but it's good to look for the health of the athletes first. Playing through something liek that can lead to bad things. Think he won't play tonight.
From Lakers twitter: No new update on Kobe Bryant's availability from shootaround. Mke Brown: "He's still going through the necessary steps to be cleared."
come the ef on, no way what wade did could cause a concussion on a big boy like bryant. im more inclined to think this is a PR stunt than anything but i cant say for sure... im not his doc and the article's description of those "other symptoms" is nonexistent.
Kobe also have a fractured skull, dislocated elbow joint, stress fracture on his femur and 4 bruised ribs from the incident He will under go MRI tomorrow to see if he damaged any cartilage in his knees..
Say what you want about Wade, but Kobe respects him more than LeBron or Howard. Wade is a competitor, like Kobe.. Not making crappy passes at the end of an exhibition game while being mocked by Kobe. Kobe and Wade get it... Some of these other guys don't.
from andrew "i was suspended the first 4 games of this season for a blatant cheap shot on a guy who weighs 100 pounds less than me and was in the air" bynum.
The nose part does not affect playing though. But having pain in the arm or dislocation does affect playing ball.
I felt like this story was overblown immediately after the incident, but this could get really interesting if Kobe ends up suffering from the lingering effects of the foul.
