Kobe will go on playing
14:51 1 March, 2012Three days after Kobe Bryant broke his nose and got a concussion in the All-Star game, he strapped on a mask and went back to work.
Bryant had headaches and nausea shortly after getting hurt Sunday in his 14th All-Star game, in which Bryant became the leading scorer in All-Star history. His concussion was diagnosed Tuesday, and Bryant complained of neck soreness Williams likened to whiplash.
Bryant received clearance to play for the Lakers on Wednesday night, not missing a game after a nasty injury resulting from a hard foul from Dwyane Wade.
None of it could sideline Bryant, who leads the NBA in scoring with 28.4 points per game. He is the fifth-leading scorer in NBA history with 28,834 points.
"Kobe is Kobe," Lakers coach Mike Brown said. "I don't think he ever wants to sit out. If he had two broken legs, (he would say), `Tape this one, and staple this one, and let's go."
