Welcome Back Kobe Bryant! Kobe returns to the court after an eight month recovery from his devastating Achilles tendon injury. Nike released a very inspirational commercial revealing the trials and tribulations of Kobe Bryant’s NBA career. The video features a clip of Kobe being injured during the Golden State Warriors game this past April. The narration of video is spoken by LA rapper Ice Cube, saying:

If he never got up, he’d still be called a hero. And if he hadn’t stepped back on to the court, he’d still be a Hall of Famer. And if he didn’t hit those free throws, he would still go down in basketball history. And if he never came back to the game, he’d be a living legend. But he wouldn’t be Kobe Bryant.

Let’s hope he gets his next championship ring soon.
