Yahoo! Sports - NBA: "Commentators will be beside themselves once again over how Bryant somehow managed to endure another terrible day in court only to come through on the court he knows best. They'll marvel at his focus, his determination, his greatness. It happened after Bryant scored 42 points to lead the Lakers over San Antonio to even their playoff series, barely six hours after pleading not guilty to sexual assault charges. Shaquille O'Neal was so impressed he called Bryant ``the greatest player ever,'' something he undoubtedly regretted right after he said it.
The next day, someone actually asked NBA commissioner David Stern if Bryant's actions were heroic. Thankfully, Stern remembered that the men and women Bryant's age who are doing heroic things are in Iraq and Afghanistan. They're people like Pat Tillman, who give their lives for a monthly salary that wouldn't pay for an hour of jet fuel for Bryant's private jet because they have a job to do and a country they believe in.
