In today's age of players sitting out games for no apparent reason, you got to respect this man's will. Was never a Laker fan, or a fan of Kobe's personally but always respected his mentality. The last of the mohicans

Is it not on the coach to manage minutes? Is it not in the best interest of the GM and ownership to protect their assets?Every Kobe misstep is somebody else's fault.
He made his choice and he went out the way he wanted to go out.
If you let a player make these decisions then something is wrong.

Is it not on the player to protect themselves and manage their own career and body? He's a grown ass man and he made grown ass man decisions.

That 2nd half of 2013 was a different animal
. He fell down everytime and got up and went to work, that Warriors game I knew injury was coming, he got injured like 4 times before that Achilles injury. Everyone was pretty much screaming to take him out the game and then it happened..I didn't want to believe it

Everyone knew at the time that he was pushing way too hard. At the beginning of the season, I expected him to be able to play 32-33mpg and work primarily out of the wing and post due to Nash coming in.
Of course everything fell to shyt and Kobe ends up playing 39mpg while playmaking and scoring duties in a far bigger role than he had since the mid 2000s. Only problem was that he was in a mid 30s body instead of his mid 20s. Dude went all out and I don't think anyone would hold it against him. He was basically a supernova at that point.
The veto did this. It did everything.
