He indeed ran Doug out of town...But that 8 shots was not MJ pouting... I was in the Chi too and I got folks that was connected with the Bulls ORG back then...And MJ did not QUIT on his team...I never heard anything about dude pulling a Kobe...That Detroit "Jordan Rules" denfense was enough of a headache for MJ to be pulling that shit...

And really Kobe's stunt was totally different...The Lakers should have beaten Phoenix...They matched up pretty well...Kobe quit on his team in a game 7, man...A GAME SEVEN...That's some OTHER shit...lol

I'm not buying it...

Wilt was doing it just to prove he didn't have to score to have impact on the game...There r stories of dude passing the hell out of the ball just to make teams look silly...

The thing with Kobe is he just doesn't seem to have leadership skills...Add that with dude being a bitch and you have an explosive cocktail...
