The future Hall-of-Famer tore his Achilles tendon late in the 2013 season. Bryant returned in December but lasted just six games before fracturing his right knee, sidelining him for the rest of the season.

Bryant is now plotting another comeback and it should ramp up now that the Lakers have returned to practice. Bryant expects to play in all eight preseason games and is very confident he is healthy.

In fact, Bryant showed off his confidence by wearing a shirt that says “Ringsssss” in honor of Bryant’s five NBA titles.

Bryant showed off the shirt at practice Tuesday.

Bryant averaged 13.1 points, 6.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 42.5% from the field, 18.8% from beyond the arc and 85.7% from the free throw line. He has averaged 25.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 45.4% from the field, 33.5% from three and 83.8% from the charity stripe in his career.
