Okay...I respect Kobe's game and I have been/will be a Laker fan for life...but c'mon. Some of you need to open your eyes and quit riding on Kobe's d**k. THREE LEGENDS in the game of basketball- Phil Jackson, Shaquillie O'Neal, and Karl Malone- all have beefs with the guy, not to mention Ray Allen. Doesn't that mean anything AT ALL to you? Why do you all insist on labelling Kobe the "good guy" in all this? Why is it always Allen/Shaq/Malone at fault?? Some of you may say "the media overexaggerates it all." They probably do, but EVERYONE in the NBA has to deal with the media. Kobe must've done SOMETHING to get in the spotlight. Kobe's not the hero/victim some of you make him out to be. He's the most SELFISH player in the NBA. I have never seen anyone HOG the ball as much as he does, at the end of games. This is just so he can get on Sportscenter or whatever...did you see that shot he took yesterday against the Suns??? What the hell was that?? He only did that so if he made it, it would look more spectacular. PLEASE. Open your eyes and judge Kobe logically.
I don't think even most Kobe fans think he's totally innocent in this. He has a large ego, just like Shaq and Phil, and that'll rub people the wrong way. And if you watched some of Jordan's games before he started winning the championships, he was a ball hog down the stretch too. Lots of peopel called him selfish, just like they do with Kobe.
There's already a thread just for Kobe in the forums. Plus, please don't use your second sentence ever again in these forums. It's disrespectful and uncalled for. THREAD CLOSED.
