Maybe because if it comes out from the results of the MRI that its bad and Phil sits him to possibly rest for game 6 or 7. To insinuate that a player of his caliber would put on a show over a foot injury is a little bit of hating going on by you and Shel.
Your telling me you two never refused going to the docs cause he may tell you to rest and not play? I know I sure and the hell have.

Like I said, I didn't the night of the injury.
You don't think it means the injury is somewhat minimal since management just was completely ok with him not getting it evaluated?
Well I don't know what kind of say management has in an injury and getting it looked at, but I know if my team is struggling and its playoff time I will do everything in my power to not go to the docs so he can tell me im out for a week or two.
Kobes Dr was on the radio today and said at the worst its a stress fracture.

That's not what I'm saying. I am saying why would management allow him to just decide to not have an evaluation. Answer: Because they don't feel like the injury is significant enough to really warrant one. They probably initially wanted it just as a precaution. THen Kobe says no, and they think no biggie cause it's probably nothing any way.
Then, already limping in shootarounds.
It's not nearly as crazy of a conspiracy theory as you're making it out to be.
You are confusing me. Your saying hes making it out worse than it is yet hes limping in shoot around. The guy it seems is refusing an MRI because maybe he thinks its worse than it is and Phil will sit his ass. Thats what I am getting from it.

Or he's refusing an MRI because it's not as big of a deal as people are making it out to be. And like I said, my evidence of this is management simply allowing him to not be evaluated.

"It doesn't matter, he's going to play anyway," Jackson said.
Further proof.
Of what?? Sorry I have a little buzz going right now.....fucking red wine man.
LOL, all good brotha.
One of your rebuttals was that Kobe didn't want the MRI cause if it revealed anything, he was scared they wouldn't allow him to play.
That part I quoted shows that he's playing no matter what. So that's not a reason to not get one. Which goes back to my original thought that the reason is that management didn't think it was THAT important to really demand it out of him.

Gotcha. Its a moot point anyway, just felt like comin at you and Dave cause I had a nice buzz going. I don't really like the Lakers but they will win by double digits tonight. I am going to keep saying that until they actually do........
I don't know how Noah hasn't been punched in the face at least once in the NBA yet.
He is the epitome of "that guy" on the other team.
Cheap shot to McBob and McBob gets tossed because of the retaliation is only seen. They even go to the video and don't give a tech to Noah for a forearm to the face??!?!?
