Iverson wouldn't have quit. Lebron actively took the double team with him as far away from the basket to cause problems for the wizards when they doubled him up high. I would say the wizards D is 20 times less craptacular than the suns D too - Kobe could have at least gotten some assists on the suns. Also the suns are notorious for letting teams get back into the game even when they're up by 20. 3 shots? 1 point on a defensive 3 second free throw? I'm not buying the "MVP" decided to follow the game plan like coach said routine. Dude mailed it in. In the regular season, he scored 81 on the crap defense of the raptors cuz his teammates weren't any good. In game 7, he scored 1 in the 2nd half against the crap defense of the suns cuz those same teamamtes should have been carrying the load? You can’t quit in a game 7 just cuz you’re down.

I want more journalistic gems like, "What do you want - a cookie?" So when do we get to hear Kobe answer questions about how he feels about the Clippers outlasting the Lakers in the playoffs?

The Lakers are about 4 years and 4 starters away from being a contender. And if anybody thinks Phil has either the patience or the ability to rebuild the Lakers, they’re sadly mistaken.

Heck even when the Lakers won, he was criticized (i.e. why didnt he do this all year long). But thats the image hit Kobe as taken over the years. So whatever he gets, it is a result of his own doings from the past (and i'm not talking about rape allegations). Having said that, I agree, he wasn't trying to sabotage his team. And I take him at his word, that he felt like if they were gonna get back into the game and win, it was going to have to be a team effort. That's how they won the games earlier in the series and that's how they were gonna have to win that game. It totally makes sense. He has nothing to gain by proving a point.
