Actually because Kobe is so competitive I think he has a better chance at recovery than most players.
Plus Kobe will carry less load on the Lakers this coming season making it easier on Kobe's comeback because:
- D'Angello Russell will be handling the ball more
- Julius Randle is playing
- Brandon Bass is added to the team
- Lou Williams is added to the team
- Roy Hibbert is added to the team
- Jordan Clarkson playing well last year
There is a tonne more help this year and it'll make it easier for Kobe.
