Kobe Bryant was back on the floor after resting his shoulder, but he decided to play left handed for some of the game.


Kobe Bryant is one of the best to ever play the game of basketball. His latest challenge is to play the game left handed. On Wednesday, Kobe decided to take a jumper left handed and he had the results that we would expect.

Check it out:

To add difficulty to the shot, he was fading away to his right and drilled it with his left hand. It almost seems like he was playing a game of horse out there when he nailed that jumper. His shoulder bothering him pretty bad if he has to take the jumper with his left hand.

The New Orleans Pelicans ended up getting the victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night with a 96-80 victory. Kobe Bryant finished the game with 14 points on 6-of-14 shooting. He had taken the last 2 games off as part of Byron Scott’s plan to get him some rest and he has been limited in his minutes.

“I feel fine. We make a lot of it, but the reality is I’m doing some pretty phenomenal things in 30 minutes,” Bryant said. “My body is not that (messed) up.” (ESPN)

We will see what Kobe has up his sleeve in the next game.
