^also take off Chucky Atkins, Shaq (well....maybe), and Ray Allen (two are actually friends). They aren't really Kobe-Haters. Barkley is the only person i'm sure doesn't like Kobe.
Vince Carter respescts game. Just because they blew his comment about the 81 point game out of porportion doesnt make him a kobe hater.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheHitman:</div><div class="quote_post">Shaq had problems with his all-star teammates.. penny hardaway, didnt get along with him.. didnt get along with Kobe either. And just let time fly, he wont get along with Wade</div> He got along fine with Gary Payton and Karl Malone and now Jason Williams, Antoine Walker, Alonzo Mourning, and Dwayne Wade. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">take shaq off the list. put in vince carter and former nba player charles barkley</div> Also add on former NBA player Chris Childs, Kobe got into a fight with Reggie Miller too. I'm sure Mike Miller and doesn't like him and probably no one on the Kings either other than Ron Artest.
Everyone should read this article- http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=Ag30...=yhoo&type=lgns I thought it was kind of interesting.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting phunDamentalz:</div><div class="quote_post">Known Kobe-Haters in the league: Ray Allen Raja Bell Shaq Chucky Atkins Most of these guys seem pretty cool, so maybe Kobe is the problem.</div> Ray Allen - They are actually friends. They have a very competitive relationship and respect each others game. There were rumors of Kobe pushing for a trade to aquire Ray Allen. Raja Bell - Who is this kid? Does he know Kobe? He wasn't hugged enough as a child...plus he's the best flopper in the league. Shaq - Shaq used to hate him, but haven't you got the news? They've made up. Shaq respects Kobe's game, that's enough. Chucky Atkins - The NBA's posterboy for a journeyman? Does he have any say in how he feels about Kobe? I think not. Ask Kobe, Caron, Arenas, Odom, Jamison, and other Laker and Wizard players how they feel about Atkins. Ask the fans how they feel about him. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Brian:</div><div class="quote_post">take shaq off the list. put in vince carter and former nba player charles barkley</div> Vince Carter - There's probably some animosity there, but Vince respects Kobe's game. Vince respects anybody who's got game. Charles Barkley - Barkley trash talks everybody. What else is new? He respects Kobe's game, that's all Kobe needs...is respect. Why don't you ask Odom, Caron (said playing with Kobe was hard, but they had a great friendship...Kobe's matured since then), P. Jackson, LeBron, Arenas and 99.9% of the league what they think of Kobe?

But like you said, if he did that, Lakers would lose without a question. Thats why this series has been very exciting to watch. Oh and did anyone see when Kobe got his 2nd technical foul? He was complaining about Kwame Brown getting fouled. If you watch the clip, the defenders don't push nor jump. Kwame simply flayed his arms ad legs and hit the deck, causing an illusion. I'm gettin tired of plays like this from the lakers. [quote name='TheBlackMambaRaja Bell - Who is this kid? Does he know Kobe?

And why are you saying how all these players feel about Kobe Bryant, you act like you personally know them..
Come on Kobe bryant will be hated but there is alot of people hated by other nba players. I cant stand one thing tho and that is that everyone is saying that raja bell has kept kobe in check bs. kobe can score whenever but thats not the game plan. so stop saying kobe is in check from raja.

Raja really started the whole thing. I didn’t buy the invisible elbow thing. Then he called Kobe pompous and arrogant. Kobe responded with “I don’t know this kid.” I thought it was pretty funny, but kind of immature on both of their parts. My money is on Raja Bell to beat down Kobe. After seeing my boy Chris Childs give Kobe the business, I am thoroughly convinced Kobe can't fight.

That's one way to make yourself famous. By messing with the best. But all this was an old trick in the book from the Zen Master and Kobe Bryant. They got into the unexperienced flopper's head. And the result, a suspension in the most crucial game of the playoffs.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheBlackMamba:</div><div class="quote_post">As a Kobe fan, I'm convinced he can't fight. But, didn't Childs back away after clockin him?</div> Whatever happened to Childs?
What I found hilarious is Kobe calling Bell a "kid". "Who is this kid"-Kobe Bryant. Bell is two years older than KB8. But experience wise, you could say Kobe is far more experienced year wise. But on a more serious note...Raja Bell is nothing more than a punk. Kobe knew how to handle that situation and not overreact and get suspended also. I honostly think Bell was sent out there to get Kobe suspended so that the Suns could get a chance to win. But Kobe's to experience to stoop to Bell's level. Ever since that game Bell's been in my top 10 most hated NBA players list.
Anyone find the trash talking between Kobe and Raja hilarious? Neither of these two are very good at it.
Honestly, I lostmad respect for Kobe and his toughness. Raja Bell said some serious street fighting words to Kobe. and Kobe acted like a nerd about it...making funny faces, acting silly. When a man challenges you or says he wants to beat you anywhere...the hell with a pentagon Raja said, you accept. If not, you lose. Kobe said a pentagon or octagon or whatever. I can't honestly imagine anyone more cornier than Kobe in the NBA. I loved how Raja deaded that comment with Anyway, let me post something serious...I'll stop being silly with my Kobe hating. Raja clearly stated he got hit in the face multiple times. Thats not even basketball, because you don't play with no one face like that. I don't care where it is, especially with grown men. I don't know what Kobe is thinking when he's messing with Raja's face. You see why Kobe didn't retaliate when Raja Bell chokeslammed him, he expected to get sonned. Kobe lost when he said "does he know me" Kobe wanted to make it non basketball and try to be tough on the court, but when Raja got street, Kobe just took the L. Raja Bell made a good point, I notice how Kobe got up in Nash's and others faces with zero respect at all. Raja Bell just took a hit for his team. Raja Bell does deserve to be suspended, but Kobe lost man...big L.
