Look no further than his decision to have surgery less than 24 hours after the injury to cement that he's eager to get recovery, rehab and training back on track. He is going for his sixth ring next year.

WHY do they publish shit like this??

Achilles Tendon Classification / Treatment

Initial treatment: short leg splinting in plantar flexion. Surgical and nonsurgical rx give simlar long-term outcomes.
Nonsurgical treatment requires immobilization for 8-12 wks Disadvantages: higher recurrence rate(15.2%), higher percentage of dissatisfied patients, significant loss of power, strength and endurance compared to surgical treatment. Monitoring with Ultrasound or MRI recommended to confirm apposition of the tendon ends. Benefits: lack scar, no wound complications, less expensive. Indicated for lower demand older pt, pts on systemic steroids/methotrexate, IDDM, vascular compromise.

No he isn't. He's 34 freaking years old. He would have been playing basketball in one for or another all these years anyway.

Kobe venting on facebook:

This is such BS! All the training and sacrifice just flew out the window with one step that I've done millions of times! The frustration is unbearable. The anger is rage. Why the hell did this happen ?!? Makes no damn sense. Now I'm supposed to come back from this and be the same player Or better at 35?!? How in the world am I supposed to do that??
I have NO CLUE. Do I have the consistent will to overcome this thing? Maybe I should break out the rocking chair and reminisce on the career that
was. Maybe this is how my book ends.

Maybe Father Time has defeated me...Then again maybe not! It's 3:30am, my foot feels like dead weight, my head is spinning from the pain meds and I'm wide awake. Forgive my Venting but what's the purpose of social media if I won't bring it to you Real No Image?? Feels good to vent, let it out. To feel as if THIS is the WORST thing EVER! Because After ALL the venting, a real perspective sets in. There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.

One day, the beginning of a new career journey will commence. Today is NOT that day.
"If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear". Ive always loved that quote. Thats "mamba mentality" we don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run. We endure and conquer.

I know it's a long post but I'm Facebook Venting LOL. Maybe now I can actually get some sleep and be excited for surgery tomorrow. First step of a new challenge.
Guess I will be Coach Vino the rest of this season. I have faith in my teammates. They will come thru.

Thank you for all your prayers and support. Much Love Always.

Vino aka Kobe

Because a bottle of wine is actually alive—it's constantly evolving, and gaining complexity. That is, until it peaks—like your ’61 (Cheval Blanc)—and begins its steady, (and) inevitable decline.
