What The!? Kobe Is Out AGain

Kobe was in Colorado again this summer and had a surgery on his right knee. I wonder where he stayed in Colorado. Maybe his wife, Vanessa, accompanied him this time to prevent any untoward incedent again.

The surgery was said to be a minor one and everybody expects to have Kobe at the top of his game (at the top of the NBA too) this coming season. He has plenty of rest before the season starts.

But, unfortunately, he will not play during the World Championships in Japan this August 19 to September 3. Tough luck for us Kobe fans. I was intrigue how he can play his game against this level of competition, a whole new game, outside the US, different defenders, different defensive and offensive approach to the game and fighting for his country.

For his Japanese and Asians fans, consolation is, he'll be joining the Asian trip. I think, this is a good idea, to keep Kobe busy this summer, rather him, staying in Colorado with nothing to do. That's dangerous my friends.

We'll just have to wait for the Basketball of the Americas in 2007 and the Olympic itself come 2008. This assuming of course that they'll qualify for the 2008 Olympics.
