Lakerfan81 Said this,

Everyone’s body is different. How a virus affects you will greatly depend on your immune system. Their is a wide variance in MHC molecules in humans. When you are infected by a virus, like the flu, antigens (proteins expressed by the virus) are picked up by antigen presenting cells and broken up into pieces. These pieces are then loaded into MHC molecules. If the MHC molecules expressed by you cells can bind the particular antigen really well then you will get rid of the virus quickly and it won’t affect you much. If your particular MHC molecules don’t bind that antigen very well then you will be more affected by the virus. That is why when two people get the flu one might be sick for a week and the other for only a day or two. This is very benificial for a species from an evolutionary standpoint because it decreases the likelihood that the entire species will die from a particular virus such as Ebola. Sorry for the brief immunology lecture.

This does not take anything away from Kobe, obviously playing sick is hard no matter how sick you are. But it is difficult too say that Bynum could have done the same thing.

MY comment,
It is nice to have knowledgeable people who speak from knowing facts rather than their own ideas that just pop in their head.

REALLY?????????????

You know why they call it professional basketball players? BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROFESSIONALS!!!!!!!!!!

Be a man! Suck it up and play.

Can’t stand Bynum. You either have heart or you don’t. It’s that simple.

Kobe loves Bynum. They are real close now. How can you rebel against your leader kobe and not like bynum.

By the way, you probably never had the stomach flu. To get some knowledge why don’t you read lakerfan81’s comment.

I totaly agree with you Phantom, that’s what separate’s the great from the good.KOBE HAS ALOT OF HEART!!!

I totally agree on the court Kobe has alot of heart, but this is about a medical condition and I think Lakerfan81 said it right. No one knows how a virus affects different people.

Let’s just hope he’s gona play tonight because Mihm is not going to cut it against Denver…
