When Kobe Bryant hobbled off the court with a ruptured Achilles on April 12, it marked the end of the Kobe era in Los Angeles Lakers history.


That's not to say that Bryant won't come back (he will), or even that he won't excel after having surgery to repair his Achilles tendon. But his uncertain status means that, for the first time since the Lakers traded Shaquille O'Neal to the Miami Heat in summer 2004, Bryant won't be the focal point of everything the team does.

Lakers must focus on what's next

I'll believe it when I see it. 

I didn't think he could score 81 points in a single game but he did that.  I didn't think Kobe could play at an All-NBA level in his 17th year but he did that.  I didn't think he would be dunking on guys left and right at age 34 but he did that.  Father Time is undefeated but I gave up trying to predict what Kobe Bryant can't do.  If Kobe Brynt was ready for opening day next season and won the 2014 NBA MVP I would be happy but not surprised.  He is a robot.

im a hardcore laker fan but i would be surprised if he came back to where he was before injury , but then again you never know, tiger woods is a prime example that talent can never be underestimated real talk!!

You just can't count someone like Kobe Bryant out. He has the Jordan mindset. I think it'd be awesome to see him come back and do well.. and I am not even a huge Kobe fan.
