Not covering Kobe. Just because Kobe quit doesn't mean MJ didn't. He did.

It's important. But it wouldn't be any less important had he quit in a game 5.
Now, I have little patience for cats that try to >downplay Kobe's talent...He's arguably the best player of his >generation (Duncan battles him on that front)...So I don't >want to be a delusional asshole...Kobe has shown himself to be >a MONSTER on the court...The most feared player of his era... > >But even with all that, I'm no Bryant fan...As a Lakers fan, I >respect your support of Kobe...That's the way it's supposed to >be...
I'm not supporting Kobe's quitting in game 7. I'm giving it proper perspective. Just as you say it was a game 7, it should also be noted that the team had quit before he did. He walked on the court trying to win up until the beginning of the 3rd.

I don't disagree with this.
