Kobe is in love with his own fame.

Look.  I'm going to tell you this, and please don't feel like you need to respond, or defend Kobe, since you are obviously a fan.\n\nAnd what I have to say is this.  Kobe Bryant is one of the three most talented players in the league.  However, he is the the most selfish player than has played, since Wilt Chamberlain circa 1961, and that's covering tons of players.\n\nThat 81 point game was the most sickening display in basketball's most recent history.  It was like watching a gangbang, that lasted on guy too many.  Yes......it was that disgusting.  They stood around and he continuously shot the ball...regardless of where he was on the court, and if there was an open man.  \n\nWatch the game again and look at Phil Jackson during this exhibition.  He looked like he wanted to vomit......the entire time.\n\nKobe is not an MVP.  He has MVP talent all the way around, but don't gush all over this guy.  I do like that he is becoming a leader, but he still is not well liked by a lot of people in his locker room.  Unfortunately, he HAS to score....so it's a license to score, similar to Dominique and Jordan of the 80s.....but at least they tried to involve over people i.e. Pippen, Grant, Doc Rivers, Kevin Willis....\n\nWhat will happen is a talent like Chris Bosh comes to LA?  My money says Kobe attempts to eat him alive, and Bosh's career will go down the tubes because if it.  Kobe's middle name should be lymphoma, because he is definitely a cancer on the team.

Well even if it is only an elbow it's still assault. That's just the type of person Kobe is, mentally unstable

No, Kobe is trying to make a legend of his own.

Kobe can be a ballhog, as can nearly everyone admit, but he does make most shots. If anyone had the talent he had, they would do the same. Kobe is playing great, but I don't really "like him". I respect him.\n\nAI actually passes more often, and he is a true fighter. He gives it his all every single game.

definalty, who wouldnt want to be on the court when kobe can drop 60+ on any given night. You would definalty get some open looks, he doesnt always shoot. Kobe will make u better, look at smush parker, he was nothing, now he something.

Basketball is a team sport, not a lone ranger sport.  Steve Nash is the leader of his team, and his success is clearly apparent through the improvements his players have experienced this season.  Kobe has to consciously try to be a team player, but he is a "me first" player and always will be.  I have said enough on this subject and will let game 7 speak for itself.  \n\nAll you Kobe lover boys should keep your mouth shut when the Suns hand you the pink slip on Saturday.

I dont think Kobe is a whinner. The real whinners are the whole Spurs Team from the coach down to its players. That's in the West. In the East its the Detroit Pistons from their coach down to his players as well. And to think of it, this teams has no great talents.

Look. . . LeBron will never compare to Kobe. Yes, LeBron is the biggest name in the NBA but that doesnt mean shit! I remember a couple of years ago when the Lakers lost to the Spurs in the playoffs and Kobe cried at the end of the game. He loves it. Its his life. LeBron lost and shruged it off! ! ! I dont get it? People say , "Well, LeBron isnt on a  good team" What the hell are you talking about?!?!?! Who is Larry Hughes? Who is Zydrunas Ilgauskas? Both these guys are former all stars playing with on of the better players in the league. So ur telling me Kobe can dominate the game running with Lamar Odom and Kwame Brown? Kobe is better hands down!

I hate Artest. That guy has no skill, and shows off about his so called "skill". That guy is way too overrated. But I also hate Kobe and Dirk. Dirk has a anger problem and acts like a kid.

No. Kobe is better. No matter how selfsh he is, he's still the best. And who can blame him, I mean he's on the Lakers. Their 2nd best player is Lamar Odom and after that there's no one.

No, because he's going to realize that, while scoring all those points may be great, if he wants to win another ring, the Lakers need more quality players around him.  The dumbest thing Kobe ever did was running Shaq and Phil Jackson out of town.  Phil's back, but even he couldn't lead them past the first round.

Got to be T-Mac. Why? I don't like Kobe at all. To me he is to selfish during the games.

Kobe is not an MVP, end of story. He captured lots of attention for his stellar play, but no one will win when they have a ball hog on their team. Yes he did drop 81, but look where his team is now!! 7th spot of the playoffs! Wow! Great job! With out a doubt he is going to score 40 points a game in the series against Phoenix, but he will not win. An MVP is someone who makes players around him better, and helps his team reach new heights.

First of all I can't stand Kobe! but I will agree with a couple of people that he's better than Mcgrady or Nash. The people that like Kobe all of the sudden don't know alot about the game plain and simple, Kobe is a fad he's cool for now because of the outburst in points in a few years when he's won nothing those will be the same people who will turn into the haters. When Kobe matures and realizies what it will take to win without Shaq and his stats will drop off and people won't like him as much people are fickled.\n\nOiVey: scoring a few points in a basketball game is a individual achievment, going into space is an accomplishment for all mankind that changed history....it has nothing to do with sports your a fool for making that comparision.
