-OK now i am sick of all the Kobe Haters. Now the guy get far too much criticism! Same as when MJ was playing- every one always wants to knock down the "tall poppy". Why?? why not just accept the greatness and enjoy!!! in 20 years time you'll all be saying to your grandkids "yeah i saw kobe bryant play - he was AWESOME," everyone who hates him, should shut up, stop, enjoy what he is doing!!! i mean cmon guys he scored 81 POINTS!!!!!! AND YOU ALL SAYING HE SUX???? Lets all stop the Kobe hating and enjoy the show!!
I don't know what he has to do to get any kind of respect...It's almost as if the Kobe Haters are JEALOUS..
The thing that I am really sick of is Kobe fans randomly including Kobe in discussions that he has nothing to do with (not many people here on this board, but I've seen it a few times). They also take offense to anything remotely resembling a negative remark about Kobe.If you ask me... Kobe haters don't actually hate Kobe himself... rather they hate the way some of his fans ride his dick all day (not all fans, but everybody knows there are a sh*t load of them out there).

Because Lakers fans are funny. I don't hate him, I don't really hate any player. The only way I'd hate someone is if they stepped on Amare's knee while he's on the floor this year. I enjoy watching Kobe play, but I'm not a fan or a hater.

But after a while, people think that his time being an icon is up, and that when the hating starts. Let me say this: Kobe going to be an NBA icon for the rest of life, so get used to it!</span>
Damn I hate Kobe Bryant, lol.Although I do respect his game and how good of a player he is. He single-handeldly brought the Lakers to the playoffs and almost beat the Suns!Respect.
I don't hate Kobe but a lot of his fans do bug me. They are always on his dick and some of his fans are the most biased ones I've ever seen. I dislike Kobe as a person but I highly respect what Kobe has done in this league and his skills.
lmao You guys act like kobe's a wicked person or something. He's cruel on the basketball court but that's part of what makes him so great. Kobe's tough personality on the court is not a bad thing. Off the court Kobe has done wonders for the community of Los Angeles and Phily. You guys think that some fans are on his dick yea maybe but guys like Dwyane Wade and LeBron have a sh*t load more bandwagon fans on there dick than kobe does. Kobe has alot more haters than he does fans.

Say anything remotely resembling a negative remark about Kobe and his fans get all upset and can't come to realize that not everybody likes his personality. Jesus... it's not like you like every NBA players personality either.

What more can a man do to get peace?You can hate on kobe's personality but when people say some stupid sh*t about he's selfish and is holding back odom this is when we get angry.edit: I think people think it's cool to hate kobe. Like it's a trend. They give the same stupid excuses.
wtf? he don't pass.Things I hate about kobe:too arrogantrapetoo many kobe lovers, do you see me making a thread called "who else is sick of all the kobe lovers?" no. get over it.can't work with anyonedemands the ball too muchrefuses to let a REAL team be built around himHAS to be the star of the showmainly his arrogance, and that annoying smirk he wearsEDIT: oh and he likes donovan mcnabb, who gets more on my nerves each season -.-don't bring up the 81 point crap. it's irrelevant. Wilt coulda had 150 against the frickin raptors. Hell, I could get 30 on em.

Why don't you hate them?2- Legit excuse3- False, he worked with phil brilliantly this year. Odom and him became a duo, you could see the bond. For example, when miller hit kobe odom did sh*t. Raja does the same and odom goes after him. Anyone can see odom and kobe were becoming a formidble duo.4- Last season was kobe's first season where he didn't have to iniate everything. Every other year, he'sbe doing the passing job. This season, phil and him came to the decsion that he would have to score alot to keep us in the run then when they become comfortable, sit back. He did this. And next season, kobe won't touch 35ppg.5- I don't know how you got this idea. Kobe cried when the spurs beat us, he wants to win. Kobe wanted artest. Why? because he wants to win and artest would be a good teamate.6- He was not the star of the show untill 2003, i think someone as talented and who works on his game every day deserves to be a star of a team. Kobe's much more than a 2nd option.edit: Your not a real suns fan because you obviously didn't watch the playoffs. Kobe controlled that first series better than nash.And i do realise i made alot of spelling mistakes but i'm not fixing them up.edit: Answer this question, do you think jordan would willing sacrifce his game for 5 seasons for shaq? The answe is no.

My god..He's an amazing player don't get me wrong, but I just hate his attitude. He's right next to TO in my book.

We win. 2001, kobe's a big ball hog early on. Gets injured, returns and buys into team concept. 15-1 happens. 2002, kobe still buys into team concept and sits back whilst shaq destroys arron williams and todd mcolluagh. 3 peat.Why did it change? Well yeh, kobe became more selfish but do we remember shaq saying " i got injured on company time, will get surgery on company time". Phil tells kobe to take the lead, kobe starts trying to do everything and we lose. Shaq comes back and his team. Again in 04, phil tells kobe to take over because shaq is overweight and unfit. Then the infighting begins and there's the dynasty gone. So please, don't tell me kobe was the only selfish guy. I have never seen a more selfish act than Shaq saying "i'm getting surgery in company time". Who on earth does that as the leader of the team?You know what i'm sick and tired of? People still buying into that sh*t that kobe was the only selfish one. I see the guy who gets fat and lazy and then has surgery on company time as selfish. I see kobe as being selfish also but atleast he didn't pull of sh*t like that.
