After the longest off-season of his career, Kobe Bryant has finally put on the purple and gold and taken the court with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Being limited to only six games last season due to injuries, Bryant says he's prepared hard and smart for his 19th NBA season.
The Lakers shooting guard walked confidently on his left leg, and is already running and jumping better than new coach Byron Scott imagined he would be on a surgically repaired Achilles tendon and the once-broken bone near his knee.
Scott isn't shy in saying he expects Bryant to be able to play all 82 games while averaging more than 20 points.
The Lakers' hopes are hinging on Bryant's health.
