If it’s one thing you can’t deny about Kobe Bryant its that he’s one of if not THE hardest worker in the league. He suffered a torn Achilles during the latter end of last season and it’s unclear when he’ll return to the court. One thing that is for certain is that he’s working his hardest to get back as soon as possible. Read more after the jump.
The timetable for Kobe Bryant’s return from an Achilles’ tear is unclear, but he’s already begun to increase his activity. “I’m starting to move a little bit more,” said Bryant earlier in the week. “I’m trying to pick up my pace a lot more.” In addition to healing, Bryant said he needs to get into shape. On Friday, he gave a status update via Twitter: “Dropped 5lbs in a day #getinshape #nutrition.” During his time off while recuperating from April surgery, Bryant said he did not keep his usual diet. “Six months of eating whatever the hell I wanted to eat and not running and stuff like that caught up to me a little bit,” he said on Wednesday. “I can do it in about three weeks of rigorous conditioning. I have the green light now to do that.”
