I still don't buy that he 'quit' on that Suns series. His teammates just weren't making the shots. Their fault period. They stank it up.

Kobe never quit. He would've quit if he didn't show up. He still was a professional about it, showed up, did his thing and kept on trying to win despite his unhappiness.

tmac showed up also

T-mac is incredibly talented but he just doesn't have the heart or mindset, plain and simple.

remember the first game of last season? Kobe wanted to get traded but still played all out against the rockets. The emotions he showed during and after that game were still high.

Jeff Van Gundy reiterated yesterday on ESPN News that he believes the Rockets will make it to the Western Conference Finals. :unsure:

He surely did.

Maybe when he gets time off from all the coaching - oh wait... :rolleyes:

Van Gundy's fun as a sideshow, but his opinion borders on Waltonism.

Kobe didn't quit... He was dropping 50 and still losing, it's obviously not working... So he passed the ball, that's nice except...

Odom - 5/14
Kwame - 2/10
Smush - 4/13

Result is 1 AST... Phoenix shot 61% FG...

wow.. i dont care what you guys say about t-mac he is great and if you call him a quitter then you guys are also calling kobe a quitter because i remember him wanting to get traded..

what ????? ,mr man of glass said that whe he was with orlando he deliberately choked games away just to get traded as he did the same crap with the raptors ..... well it seems hes doing the same crap in houston ... hes been with 3 teams in his nba career, guess what, he quit on all 3 of them

This is not the first time that McGrady has revealed himself, having bailed out on the Raptors as an up-and-coming phenom and quit - flat-out admitting publicly that he didn't try - on the Magic to get himself traded out of Orlando.
