What does Kobe have to lose coming back too early and getting injured again? Nothing. He's paid, he has rings, and will play max 2 more years. Rose? He's young and wants to play as long as Kobe has, he wants to play 10-15 more years, not come back early, damage it even more and end his career after 5 years (We're talking about Rose not rushing back last year.) Different players, different styles, different injuries, different stage in their career. Pretty stupid post actually.
