Just 8 months after suffering the most devastating injury of his career, Kobe Bryant has officially announced the date for his much anticipated return.

Bryant announced the news by sharing a two-minute 'Seasons of Legend' video on his personal Facebook account, in which his home jersey floats in the midst of changing season and elements. When the jersey is ripped down the middle (presumably representing his torn Achilles), it is repaired by a beam of light. The date of December 8 flashes on the screen prior to the clip's end. Not exactly MJ's 'I'm Back' memo, but it'll do.

So mark your calendars for this Sunday, when we'll see who can put up the most bricks between a completely healthy Rudy Gay and a rusty Kobe. My money is still on Rudy.
