    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">He ruled out playing Sunday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers but said he'll be in the lineup for the final two exhibition games: Thursday against the Clippers and Friday against Sacramento. Bryant will get his first opportunity to practice with veterans Shaquille O'Neal, Karl Malone and Gary Payton on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.


    "It'll be good for everybody to get out there and get two games under our belt, get some type of rhythm and understanding of how to play the game," Bryant said.</div>

    Awesome!! Unfortunately, he most likely won't be getting to many minutes. I remember PJ saying last week that he'll give Kobe around 7-15 mins. Nothing major but it'll be fun to watch.

    i think he will have a better season than people think, i think he will come out with a lot of emotion and frustration built up and let it all go on the court, like everyone has been saying it is his only sanctuary...and i hope that he starts to gel with his teammates instead of being the loner of the group
