Re: Kobe's Knee 'Coming Along Extremely Well.' Boston Globe - Kobe Bryant is continuing to rehab his surgically repaired right knee. ``The knee is coming along extremely well," said Bryant. ``We're doing a lot of strengthening exercises now. I'm not on my feet yet, as far as running and doing squats. But I'm strengthening the quad and things of that nature. ``I can actually stand up and bend my knee. I've got normal range. I can walk normally and go up steps, things of that nature."
