Kobe Bryant Cleared for All Basketball Activities

The 2013-2014 NBA season has been nothing less than exciting thus far. In the West, new fresh exciting teams competing to be a clear #1. In the East, Roy Hilbert, Paul George and the Indiana Pacers  have made a strong start, making some question if the Miami Heat can continue their dominance.

But there is something missing in the NBA season, that "it person". The NBA without Kobe Brant has felt a little less spectacular, but great news Wednesday came as the Lakers' medical staff cleared Kobe for all basketball related activities. Yes, his return is still not here, but his progress from a torn achilles last spring is very impressive.

The Lakers are not a team that will dominate the NBA scene with a Kobe return, but there is a reason the Lakers still had national games prior to championship team seen in the late 2000s. No way around it, fans wanted to see Kobe Bryant.

I am not the biggest Lakers or Kobe fan, but I do respect his incredible basketball game. He is the one of the most decorated player in the NBA currently (Tim Duncan?), and I hope to see him back on the court making the difficult mid-range jumpers to win the game soon.

Whether you like him or not, the NBA is not the same without the presence of Kobe Bryant on a  hardwood floor wearing #24 with purple and gold. Let's all hope he returns and makes us all say " he had a torn achilles?"

*That Brooklyn dunk, or Josh Smith dunk just ridiculous???*
