Kobe Bryant Won’t Allow Tests on Injured Ankle

So much for getting that MRI on his bum ankle/foot, as Kobe refused to get any tests done, going against the wishes of his employer. From ESPN: “Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has a sprained left ankle and is officially listed as day to day, a team spokesman told reporters on Monday. ‘He says he’ll play,’ Lakers coach Phil Jackson said of Bryant’s status for Tuesday’s pivotal Game 5 with the Lakers’ first-round series tied 2-2 … Bryant spent Monday undergoing extensive treatment on the ankle, according to Jackson, including icing, electrostimulation and massage. Bryant declined to undergo any further examination of the injury through X-rays or an MRI, going against the wishes of the Lakers front office. ‘Right now, he’s not,’ Jackson said. ‘We’re trying to convince him that it might be a good idea.’ When asked what the Lakers’ medical staff thought of Bryant’s injury, Jackson said, ‘He won’t let them deal with it.’”

    Paul pierce wheelchair was already topped by Kobe acting like someone hit him with a metal baseball bat when he slid on the plastic part of a chair. I thought dude had a spinal cord injury or something. Kobe is just trying to outdo himself. What a warrior.

    Play on HOBE, your light is slowly dimming so you feel as though you must do this. If your on the court your on the court no excuses!!! This situation right here will never be like the MJ’s flu game,it is more like ZEKE or The Chief Parish. These two were seriously limping on one leg and played like a TRUE WARRIOR! KOBE says he had played with so many injuries, name 3 not including his butter finger? Maybe it aint all that serious, why would you even denied a simple test that’ll cost you nothing! Damn I hope CP3 goes for the other ankle. I’m tired of this dude being so over confident.

  • flipnoyce

    Cosign James @2:45, Dude act as though he was hit by that chair, he barely nip the corner on slow motion. Dude needs to take some serious acting lessons from Jack Nicholson. Hobe should of had his head wrap up to make it even believable, LMAO!

    ^what’s wrong with over confidence in competitive sports?… bottom line.. i think Zee! said it best.. he’s at the tail end of his career.. if this could possibly be your last time.. would you let an injury get in your way?

  • robb

    I don’t approve this, but I’m just a fan. He’s the one who’s risking his health, his team and his chances of winning a sixth. He’ll do things his way like he always has.
