Today Kobe will undergo surgery on his shoulder in New York. I’m glad that he said to go on with the surgery instead of maybe having it get worse. Too bad he won’t be able to play in the USA qualification. I think a player like Jason Kidd should replace him because he has played very well this season and would help the USA team if they didn’t have Kobe. I hope Kobe will be ready for the 03-04 season after his surgery. I’m sure he’ll come out as strong as can be.

HAVE A GOOD SURGERY, KOBE! GET BACK SOON! THE LAKERS NEED YOU THIS SEASON!
