AN UPDATE ON KOBE BRYANT's TORN ACHILLES TENDON

From the minute Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles tendon in mid-April, the details of his recovery have been deemed newsworthy, from the course of his rehabilitation to his adjusted plans for the future. For the most part, we've had to trust Bryant's tales of recovery at his word, because fans typically don't get to watch players train for days on
end (and, if they did, they would probably get bored quickly). In this case, it helps that Kobe has proven his willingness and ability to battle through injuries at any cost. Luckily, we now have an image of Kobe's progress, albeit one that doesn't tell us exactly how close he is to returning to in-game action. On Monday, Bryant posted a video of himself running on an anti-gravity to his
Instagram account. Given the machine and length of the video, it's tough to know exactly how much weight Kobe is putting on his legs, how quickly he can accelerate, and what sort of strain this activity puts on his body.However, it's definitely progress. The problem is that we can't actually project anything from this video — as ever, Kobe will be ready when he's ready. A clip like this one
doesn't contain much information, but it should give basketball fans a bit of an emotional lift. At least we know the man can move again.

A ONE HOUR CNN DOCUMENTARY ON PRINCE WILLIAM'S PASSION: New Hope,New father to air Sept 15

The second in line to the British throne has described his joy at introducing his son to the world on the steps of a London hospital last month — and about his nerves over fitting the car seat securely into the Land Rover before
driving off. As for the nearly 1-month-old baby, William referred to him as "a little bit of a rascal" who he said reminded him of his younger brother, Prince Harry. Striking a slightly exasperated tone familiar to many new fathers, he said he wished Prince George would settle down a little. "At the moment, the only legacy I want to pass on to him is to sleep more and maybe not have to change his nappy so many times." The interview is part of a one-hour CNN documentary, "Prince William's Passion: New Hope, New Father," due to air on Sept. 15
