I'm a person who doesn't like Kobe and it is not because of the Colorado incident. That has no bearing for me on what kind of player he is. To me he is not a team player. To me he is a ball hog.

phil jackson called him 'un-coachable'.  that means something.  i think he likes to score 50 pts because he thinks it'll win the game.  i think he does choose to be selfish and make all of those shots but i dont think he does it with a mentality of thinking that he doesnt care if he wins\n\n---i am not a kobe supporter---he's not a team player

I used to like the Lakers when Shaq was there because he and Kobe made a dynamic pair.  But since Shaq was traded to the Miami Heat, guess what, I'm a Miami Heat fan.  Since the trade, Kobe has become very arrogant towards everybody especially when he was interviewed regarding the incident with Ball in the Phoenix Suns.  Kobe was calling him a kid and said and I quote, "Maybe he didn't get hugs as a child", unquote.  He must remember, the "kid" is older than he is.  Grow up Kobe!

Hello!? Did someone say Phoenix? Well I hate to say this being a Nash fan, but the Suns have NO answer for Kobe Bryant. This guy showed us that he can pass when the stakes are high and chips are low. He pumped it into Odom and company while grabbing 29 or whatever for himself. This guy scored 81, so the Suns HAVE to guard him tight, or he'll SMOKE them. However, when they guard him with 2 guys he is sooo good at finding the open man. \n\nEither way the Suns are FOOL--fresh out of luck.

Kobe deserves to be the MVP. First, he dunked over Nash. Second, the buzzer beater in Game 4. Finally, he's the leader of his team...

No, ur not the only Kobe fan that can't stand Wade!!!!\nJealousy? what does that have to do with anything, if anyone should be jealous, it should be them wade fans, Kobe has 3 (count them with me 1, 2, 3) rings, wade has only 1 & that's only b'cuz shaq is with the heat, but trust me, the heat isnt going to repeat.\nsomeone said "great player" as is Kobe,  exciting style of play. . so is Kobe, a definite winner,  . . yeah, I watched that game against the Bulls!!!!

The 2006 in my opinion was a very good year for the NBA. The Dunk Contest being brought back to life with Nate Robinson and Iguodoa (not sure on the spelling). The night Kobe scored 81 points. Most people look at that night as selfishness, but when a player is hot, you do not stop passing him the ball. If I was on his team or his coach and he kept making baskets why stop passing him the ball? This isn't Jr High basketball where moms are going to complain to you saying they wanted to see their son shoot the ball. This is the pros and if you want to win you cannot stop a hot shooter. Steve Nash helped the suns once again be the top scoring team in the nation which he has done for the past 3 years. Kobe Bryant scoring over 40 points a game for like 4 games in a row or something like that. And I was anxious to see Detroit get over 70 wins but they didnt make it that far :( . Also seeing the playoffs this year has been good so far. It seems to be alot more physical this year which is bad and good but more teams are more desperate to win which makes watching the playoffs more interesting.

you are exactly right.  too bad 90% of people don't realize this.  let's not even talk about the people that hate kobe bryant by default and can't even name a legit reason as to why they hate him...\n\npeople have to realize...there are lots of ballhogs in the nba.  if you look at the playoffs, lebron, arenas, vince carter all took more shots per game.  carmelo and d-wade weren't far behind either.  in the regular season, lebron and AI were right behind kobe in shot attempts.  but at least lebron had gooden, ilgauskas, murray (who made some big shots)....AI had webber, korver, AI2....kobe has lamar who was really inconsistent.  people need to get off kobe's back!

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.
