It was the first time Kobe had been seen actually putting in work on the floor since suffering the season-ending knee injury back in December of last year. Kobe was clearly rusty in the beginning, but started to get into a groove with more fans he faced.
In the video above, Kobe talks about continuing to strive for a championship. Kobe signed a $48.5 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers last November keeping the future Hall of Famer in purple and gold for at least two more seasons.
