Basketball icon?Kobe Bryant?was a force to be reckoned with. The Lakers legend never shied away from delivering top-notch performances that too on a regular basis. In the span of his 20-year-long vocation, the basketball superstar earned a hoard full of accolades, including five NBA championships. Nonetheless, the Black Mamba never let the injuries hinder his path and kept going regardless of the severity of those lesions. With his unquantifiable passion, Bryant made a haven in the hearts of millions. And, among his fandom, the one who took the front seat is none other than?Arnold Schwarzenegger?s older son, Patrick Schwarzenegger.

Back in 2015, Mamba suffered a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder during the playoffs between?Los Angeles Lakers?and?New Orleans Pelicans. Following this, many would have called it the quits, but not Kobe Bryant. The legend played with the injury for an extended period prior to opting for season-ending surgery. Now, as the eight-year-old video from the 2015 season playoffs resurfaced, Patrick Schwarzenegger took a moment to applaud Bryant?s incredible feat.

Patrick Schwarzenegger acclaimed Kobe Bryant?s commendable undertaking despite injury

Recently, the Midnight Sun star took to his Twitter handle to re-share the video posted by Mamba?s fan page. In the video, Bryant can be seen playing in the NBA playoffs with his left hand, after removing the surgical plaster from his right shoulder. Captioning the tweet, the fan account wrote, ?Kobe Bryant tore his rotator cuff in his right shoulder. And came back in the Lakers game to shoot left-handed?.

On this, the Moxie actor tweeted, ?Dude was so different?. Interestingly, Bryant briefly returned to the game and played essentially with his left arm after the injury (he was a right-handed shooter). More so, right before suffering from torn rotator, Mamba just recovered from two major leg injuries before the commencement of the 2015 NBA season. However, the lacerations didn?t affect his game, and he stunned the spectators with his outstanding performance.

Though the 2015 season wasn?t the best playoff spree?for Los Angeles Lakers, Bryant?s unfeigned dedication proved otherwise. Shortly after enduring the injury, Mamba made a 14-foot jumper with his left hand and left many awe-stuck. To date, his dedication to the sport is praised by many, and Patrick Schwarzenegger is no exception. Arguably, Bryant?s drive to do the unthinkable was what made him the best in the business, don?t you agree?
