Can't wait for the NBA season to get underway, right? Kobe Bryant knows exactly how you feel. Kobe, who played in only six games last year, has spent the last several months rehabbing after breaking a bone in his left knee in December 2013 and he is eagerly anticipating his return to the court. In an interview with Die Welt, Bryant explained just how eager he feels at the moment, saying, "I can’t wait to return to my duties on the court. I feel like a race horse that has been locked in a barn for months. I want to get out."
In addition to discussing his eagerness to play next season, Kobe also touched upon his bout with Father Time. "I know that my career is approaching its end. I know that as an athlete I have to prepare for life after the sport," Bryant admits. "Sure I have fear of life without basketball. This is completely normal. But I’m a person that likes to set new challenges in life."
And given the current Lakers roster, Bryant will have one hell of a challenge waiting for him next season. Amirite, Kobe?
