Comments on: No Surgery For Kobe http://www.forumblueandgold.com/2008/09/09/no-surgery-for-kobe/ A Lakers Blog. Thoughts, reflections, and the odd rant on the Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA (even the Clippers). Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:41:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Than http://www.forumblueandgold.com/2008/09/09/no-surgery-for-kobe/comment-page-2/#comment-580393 Than Mon, 15 Sep 2008 07:24:38 +0000 http://www.forumblueandgold.com/?p=1328#comment-580393 I think kobe is thinking about the team more than anything. I don't want to be a jinx, but 82 games is a long season and anything can happen. If he opts for sugery now and waits 12 weeks, what's to guarantee any member of the team will be healthy the whole season. I guess I'm analogizing his thinking to a car. If your car took a hit, but it could still take you to any place you wanted to go. Would you fix it ? Or would you wait? Fixing it would leave you without a car and maybe even worst, lose a Championship!! If it was my decision, I would hold off on the sugery, because the current Lakers team does not come around every season. I think kobe is thinking about the team more than anything.

So he can spend the rest of the regular season recovering from the surgery? @ 67 Why on earth would he do that? So he can spend the rest of the regular season recovering from the surgery?

What it basically comes down to is whether you trust Kobe to make the right decision based on the facts he has been given and the situation he has gone through with actually living with it. I, for one, trust Kobe to have decided for the best for him and for the team.

All I've been hearing is he looks good every time he works out, played well in summer league, and yet, no team has signed him yet. Wasn't he a camp invite last year or the year before? He could be the back-up/bruiser type big we need. He's at least worth a look (apparently 3 teams and 2 overseas teams are currently weighing whether to sign him).

Kobe would make digs subtley if that was his intent, because he is taking the high road in the "feud." Shaq and Kobe add to it. Not us. Not ESPN. ESPN just magnifies it. Kobe is too media savvy to not know how a comment like that, in quotations, would be perceived. Especially following the Shaq rap. He knew. Don't agree with me. You don't have to. It's there to see. Plain as day. 58 & 59,
