He said he would be back by opening day... I supposed to be impressed that he's back 2 weeks later than he said he would be??

I hate Kobe. Please remember that when you read this. If it were down to a coin toss, I'd bet against you every time. Kobe is a lot of things, but I think his will to win and his narcissism are compatible, unlike with T-Mac. He would know he's a scrub before he allowed anyone else to figure it out. If he's back, he's back.
Hmm may average 20 a game. Video from practice http://www.twcsportsnet.com/videos/2013/11/19/kobe-bryant-scrimmage-footage
he doesn't look like he's elevating at all on his jump shoot, and there's no acceleration in his dribble, at least not compared to previous kobe's. Can't tell at all right now whether it's conditioning or injury related, probably both. I want to see which is which before I pass any real judgment.
