Can you really ask for more to get the season started?

You have Kobe Bryant in his long anticipated return to full health. People would tune in just for this overarching plot line.

How will Bryant look at his self-proclaimed 100 percent?

Throw in the fact that Kobe takes on James Harden, a guy that many people think has claimed the top spot at Bryant’s position, and there could be some serious fireworks in store.

Other storylines include Byron Scott‘s debut as head coach, the first complete showcase of an extremely renovated Los Angeles Lakers roster, Jeremy Lin taking on the team he was traded from after two seasons, and Steve Nash‘s return to health (maybe?).

Oh yeah, and Kobe gets his first shot at Dwight Howard since Howard left the Lakers a year ago.

Buckle up for this one.
