Kobe Bryant Bet Kevin Ware On Who Could Make Quickest Injury Return

Ware, speaking in an ESPN Conversation, said the coolest thing he experienced since suffering a broken leg was having Bryant reach out to him. And in their conversations, Ware revealed, the bet was hatched (via ProBasketballTalk).

Here was the deal: whichever player came back first would have the other attend his game.



Well, at this point, we know that Ware won the bet. Although Bryant hates to lose at anything, he made a good gesture that will go a long way with Ware. Both players suffered injuries with the world watching and later endured major scrutiny in their rehab.

But while Ware is on the road back, Bryant, who suffered an Achilles injury last April, still hasn't returned to the Lakers and has no timetable to do so.
