I hate the Lakers, and by association Kobe too, and I am bummed Kobe got injured like this 

and honestly, the general reception is sadness and support for Kobe.... I haven't seen anyone 'celebrate' his injury

Gotta to GIVE PROPS to you when I see this type of reaction.

I could NEVER RESPECT anyone or any type of class less fan who cheers when an athlete is down like when Michael Irvin got injured at Philly and Eagle fans were cheering his injury while dude was being carted off the field.

I don't really see anything outlandish on the homepage

So hard to watch SportsCenter right now. Just wishing for a BREAKING NEWS: MRI Negative. Kobe out Day-to-Day.

Truly at a loss for words ...... As a basketball enthusiast first and foremost for over 25 years, this is painful to observe and soak in having been from the same generation as KB!

 you can't ever take their comment section seriously. Its full of trolls, internet tough guys, and cynics. Following the Kings to Seattle sage, I've learned to avoid the comment section there

Say they do amnesty Kobe. What would they do? Give him a contract with less money? Let him walk to a different team?

Does any Laker fan in here want Dantoni to be the coach next year?

Id rather jump off a cliff then see him come back

I'm not gonna get all emotional over this because **** happens. What bothers me is the amount of hate Kobe gets. You don't have to like the team or him but damn people really do just hate Kobe. Being happy at another man's injury is pathetic. If this happened to Lebron, I gurantee the reception would be much different. 

You're joking right? Unless you mean by different reception he would've gotten MORE hate. Stop acting like bron ain't one of the the most hated, if not, most hated, player right now

I thought if you amnesty someone, you still have to pay their salary?

I sure don't...

I saw this on twitter, Interesting, but I understand that injuries are different for each individual.

per @philcollin1 . David Beckham, at age 34 like Kobe, had torn achilles March 14, 2010 & returned Sept. 12 2010 (month ahead of schedule).

Gary Vitti wanted Kobe out of the game too

You pay their salary but it no longer counts against your cap. And any team cant magically just pick up the amnestied player, it turns into something like a bit of a silent auction and certain teams have a bit more of a priority or something like that. Its more complicated then what some people think it is, as if its an instant forgiveness or contract renegotiation. Theres absolutely no way they'd amnesty him.

 

[geoff2005]

i think it will depend how bad the tear is and how he gets treated

Oh okay, yeah that's what I figured.

One last thing: assuming Kobe is out for entire '13-'14 season, insurance normally covers 80% of injured player's salary. Kobe due $30.4M.
