I never said he was a quitter. He was one of the greatest to ever play. Top ten if not five for sure. But when you play a game that is mainly controlled by the wealthiest of the wealthy you do as you are told.

Go back to any series Kobe played in - especially games 3 and 4 depending on if it were a playoff game or Final and watch. It’s all right there. And then the blatant one, I forgot what year but he mysteriously comes down with “food poisoning” or some sort of lame excuse in the middle of the series. It happened.

Then you have the Colorado sexual assault case. Happened just after the 2003 season had ended. In hindsight it feels like it could have easily been a setup. A way of publicly embarrassing him to stay in line.

And then maybe, just maybe his helicopter crash was intentional. Q mentions: 7/10 plane crashes are targeted kills. Perhaps Kobe was close to going Kanye and “they” needed to silence him.
