There are several marquee headlines entering the 2014-15 NBA season. One of those headlines surrounds the return of Lakers’ superstar Kobe Bryant to the hardwood.

While his major injuries have and will continue to force the five-time champ to adjust his game, his jumper has looked sharp throughout the 2014 preseason. So, it wasn’t too much of as a surprise that his second basket in regular season play since mid-December of last year came off a beautifully balanced, catch-and-shoot long jumper.
