Kobe is seriously a freak of nature. Even as he gets up there in age, he is still one of the top 5 players in the NBA and his play speaks for itself. One of his biggest career accomplishments however could be coming back from the torn Achilles he suffered back in April. That type of injury has ended many basketball careers, besides the fact that it usually takes players close to a full year to return. But according to Lakers Vice President Jim Buss, Kobe is actually on track to play during the preseason!! That would mean he would return in only about 6 months total time! But that is why Kobe is Kobe. With his competitive nature and his heart, you can always count on him to show up! Even though I hate the Lakers, I love watching legends perform, so I hope his game will not be affected. Hit the jump to hear the interview with the VP.
