Actually Kobe has sat himself when his knee wasnt up to speed, granted it was a couple of games but it just gos to show how negligent this training staff was. Everyone told Tmac to play through it but a younger Kobe (who rehabs 10x harder) see it justifiable to sit out a few gamesThats the real difference, Tmac should have never been on the court. Granted Kobe has a higher threshold for pain and Im sure you will perceive that as toughness on his part but it really has as much to do with genetics as anything else, I cant fault Tmac for something beyond his control
Enough of the T-Mac hate already. It's boring. Oh and his knee injury is a 'bit' harder to recover from than Kobe's. See Chris Webber pre and post injury.
This thread doesn't belong in the GARM. Both of these guys play for different teams, plus Kobe was always better than T-mac. Oh there was a time when T-mac was better than Kobe. Spoiler that time was never. stay clutch my friends
