Is Kobe what useless black man....?

Kobe is a worthless wanna be all-star, shoulda been convicted rapist, who won't amount to squat in the playoffs. Without Phil Jackson holding his hand, he would be back where he was last year leading the team to only it's second failure to reach the playoffs in 30 years. The only reason the Lakers are back in the playoffs this year is because they re-signed Phil Jackson, and he knows how to utilize what Kobe and the gang have.

That's like comparing a chainsaw and an Afghan rug. You can't compare them. Shaq and Kobe both play basketball. A chainsaw and an Afghan rug are things that could be in your house. Otherwise, there is nothing in common. Shaq and Kobe are completely different players. If you asked which player I would rather have on my team, that would be Shaq, especially since they really need a true center. Kobe is just a punk. Talented punk, but he's still just a punk.

Listen yo, I am a die hard Celtics fan, so I know all about the Lakers. I think Kobe is the best player in the league. He works hard as hell, and those who dis him or hate him (although how can you hate someone you don't know) don't know that, and are jealous of his abilities. That whole publicity stunt that whacko girl pulled in Colorado was BS. His wife is gorgeous why the heck would he cheat on her for a ugly biatch? Listen, my personal favorite player is Paul Pierce, but everybody deep down knows Kobe is the best, better than Lebron, better than Nash and Dirk and Timmy D.

Have you seen Kobe?? His wife is beautiful, but if the daughter inherited Kobe's looks, then she has to be ugly. He looks like an african american Ichabod Crane!!

Pure skill does not exist in a vacuum. Michael Jordan was a team player, an important intangible not covered by statistics. Kobe might have some moves, but he is abrasive and tactless.

First of all, if I was the Lakers, I would keep him just because of that move he put on Shaq in January! But he was just a rookie, and what he needs is more minutes cause even Kobe didn't play that much his rookie year, but he got better. Besides, no one is as sorry as Kwame Brown!

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!

OK bro I'm a answer your question because I know what you mean. Firstly I think a lot of people comment on the NBA and don't know much about it. They know stars and commercials and what others say and they might watch some games but they don't know in depth stat analysis. For example most of these people making these comments are making them as if they only started watching Jordan when he returned from retirment the fist time when he couldn't really average over 33 anymore because he slowed down physically. Secondly they don't like Kobe because he's a good looking black dude married to a white girl or almost white girl that's way hotter than any girl that ever liked them. So many whites would like to beleive that he's a rapist because it reafirms there superiority complex that a good looking black man would want to rape an average white chick just cause she's white which a lot of people know is complete BS. Because I'm sure some playboy bunnies have tried to throw panties at him. Kobe is not a perfect player but neither was Jordan, and I don't think anyone can say that they have seen a player never make mistakes on the court. Jordan's shot to win his 6th championship was an offensive foul. Yes Jordan was my favorite, and Kobe is the best right now and he is very unfairly judged by people who act like it doesn't hurt the man. How can you run around calling someone a rapist if he might not have done it? You know what that must be like for him? Kobe is the best hands down and these people are ruining his career, and I hope some fairness prevails in the end. The only thing that Kobe needs to improve is instilling confidence in his team mates, but irregardless he is the best in the NBA. His dunks look better than Lebron's. He shoots better and has a nicer handle. How exactly people are hating on this is beyond me. I've seen Kobe do stuff that Lebron will never do and people can scream Kobe's a rapist and Lebron is MJ till they are blue in the face but it won't alter the truth. That being that Kobe is the best since Jordan and even if he fails from here on out it's because he is being mentally abused in this country right now. Just say he didn't rape that girl. O.K. because of what he really didn't do he deserved to be robbed of the MVP award and his commercial pressence? And Shaq never got along with Penny Hardaway either that's why he went to the Lakers! And last year Kobe scored less and they won less. Bro they are retarded don't even bother with them. They said Jordan was a ball hog back in 1988 and he would never win a championship! And Kobe's bad for cheating on his wife like oh say America's favorite white actor Brad Pitt! The kid above me is right in what he's saying about Wilt and Russell. But I think where Kobe and Jordan get the edge is in entertainment factor. After all the NBA is entertainment and they make more spectacular plays.

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 ONE!!! I THINK YOUR A STUPID PERSON IF YOU WILL THINK THAT KOBE BRYANT ALREADY SURPASSES WHAT JORDAN HAS MADE. KOBE COULDN'T EVEN BRING LAKERS INTO THE FINALS ALONE! WHEN SHAQ LEFT LAKERS, SINCE THEN, IT WAS A HORRIBLE SEASON FOR THE LAKERS. AND FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE ALONE, JORDAN IS STILL BETTER THAN ANYONE IN THE NBA TODAY! EVEN JAMES, IVERSON, WADE, ANTHONY, CARTER ETC. CAN MATCH THE LEGACY THAT JORDAN MADE!

yes they will suck. Kobe is a moron. He's talented for sure, but to think he can carry teams to the trophy is absurd. Shaq made him, and he should be thankful.\n\nShaq made Penny, Dennis Scott, Nick Anderson, Kobe AND DWade. Kobe will soon follow the faded stars that came before him. Hopefully DWade's studied the past.

Last time i checked LeBron didnt win first team all defense? LeBron is a great player dont get me wrong but he doesnt have that killer instict. Kobe is  . . .  a monster! Ask Brad Miller, Reggie Miller, Raja Bell and Ray Allen. Your telling me LeBron is better than Kobe offensively? What a joke! ! ! Everytime Kobe has the ball you know he's going to shot! Its not that he's a ball hog but becuase he has to! What is he going to pass it to Smush on the wing. Or alley-op it to Chris Mihm? Think about it!
