re: Kobe vents

Kobe says in the message that it's not the end of the world and that he'll do whatever he can to come back better than ever. Of course he's going to go through a stage of self-pity... That's natural after a traumatic injury. To say that he's a pussy because he feels a little sorry for himself isn't fair. D-Rose, AP, and Rubio didn't make the mistake of venting through social media, but I'm sure that they had similar thoughts right after their injuries.

And it's not an act... Kobe is a warrior. The fact that he shot his free throws and hobbled off under his own power after tearing his achilles is amazing.
