Cole "took one for the team" last year by playing hobbled in the playoffs. He's entitled to his opinions and to express them, just like anyone else. But I find it disingenuous for people to say he's not team-first. Many of the people making these claims are likely the same ones lauding him for his toughness in the playoffs and hoping and wishing he'd make it back. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and to express them freely.
