KOBE OUT FOR THE SEASON?

Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant has a torn rotator cuff an may miss the rest of the season.  He injured his right shoulder Wednesday night in a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.  The injury mat sideline guard for the rest of the season.  The Lakers are in San Antonio to play the Spurs but Kobe won't be.  He flew back to Los Angeles to see team doctors.  Sources tell ESPN that if he needs surgery he will miss the remainder of the season.  The source also feels that most people in the Laker front office believe he is going to need surgery.

Well as a Phoenix Suns fan I say this.  Kobe is playing possum!  His team is terrible and he has no incentive to play.  Their draft pick from last year, number 7 overall, Julius Randle broke his leg very earlier in the season and that killed any hope the Lakers had to return to dominance.  With Kobe on the team they would probably have won 5-10 more games than without him.  So if he doesn't play they will likely pick very high in this year's NBA draft.  Kobe was ailing from the shoulder anyways and figured let me take the year off and get ready for next season.
