"Kobe Bryant continues to evolve, looking at infinite ways to maintain dominance despite the overwhelming obstacles thrown his way.

Father time. The heavy basketball mileage. The injuries.

Yup, he's handled it all with a mixed exercise. Sometimes his competitiveness and intense work ethic have helped him overcome those injuries and squeeze out more production. Sometimes his refusal to sit out of games exacerbates his uneven play and hurts his health. Sometimes both scenarios have played out with the same injury."
