I don't get this outpouring of sympathy for Kobe on twitter and all over the internet.
"OMG Kobe, you work so hard, I feel so terrible for you!"
He got hurt, athletes get hurt every day. He's not going to die. He already has a bunch of titles. Why am I supposed to feel bad? After that farce of a game in Golden State, we should all feel bad for Utah. Those guys work hard too, you know.
I think the fact that Kobe has so many titles, is the King of LA Sports, is older, was playing with a team somehow unable to gel, a coach who does not seem in charge...and yet here Kobe preached unity and intensity all season, even calling out Howard to play through the pain for THIS season..even inspired Meta to hyper rehab from injury just to get back in playing with his LEADER.
KOBE preached it, Kobe went down playing it.
