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.

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!

I like Shaq although I was not a Lakers fan.\nHe seems like he has a great personality and sense of humour as well as being a great player.\n\nI always say Wilt Chamberlain was the greatest player ever but I didn't really like him very much.\nHe was not a people person and I know someone who met him while he was all alone before a boxing match during the Olympics(after he was retired) and was totally dissolutioned by the way Wilt ignored him.\nHe lost a big fan that day but I'm sure he didn't care.\n\nSome of my favorite players of all time would be Jerry West,Larry Bird,Michael Jordan and Oscar Robertson.\n\nRobertson and the entire Cincinatti Royals autographed a basketball book for me that was written by Robertson.\n\nThis was after a game against Wilt and the 76er's in Syracuse NY.\nHe was very nice and that is important IMO when you are young and get to meet a star player like he was.\n\nYou always remember the nice guys and the other ones for that matter.\n\nI also met Lou Dunbar of the Globetrotters in the Philly airport 5 years ago and he was a great guy to talk to.

Yes, he is one of the top players in the league. Forget about his personal issues, no matter, what, he has been one of the top shooting guards in the NBA for the last 5 years, and that 81 point game proved it. Only Wilt Chamberlain has ever gotten more points in a game, and as a center who was like 6 inches taller than everyone else, he probably had a really easy time of it. As a shooting guard, it's tougher for Kobe to drive in, and get easy hoops. He mostly has to take jump shots, and being able to get 81 points in one game as a shooting guard, in my opinion, is worthy of an MVP. and TMAC, just cause your team isn't in the playoffs doesn't mean that you're don't deserve an MVP. A team could go 35-47, but if one player on their team was amazing, and kept the team in it throughout the season, he should deserve an MVP.

Kobe Bryant hands down. Say hes a ball hog. But he has amazing stats 3 rings. 81 points. Leading Scorer. He would pass the ball if he had another star. He proved that in the allstar game.

What kind of question is that?First of all,Kobe is the unstoppable one.Second of all,Shaq couldn't have won those three rings without Kobe.See Shaq can't win a ring in Miami?He needs Kobe.What I'm saying is Kobe is so good the big man named Shaq needs him.Third of all,Kobe is my favorite player and when your team is down Kobe will have the courage to take over.

He seems distant; he seems like he has a god-like persona, he ratted out Shaq (paying off women millions to shut up)--that's breaking a unwritten rule; he whines when he doesn't get the call; he 'freezes' out teammates on offense, he looks like akiss a$$$---he cheats on a hott wife, then buys her a 3 million dollar ring, when he decideds to 'share the ball,' he does it to make a point and will go a whole quarter or half without making a shot attempt, he brokered the deal to go to the lakers in the binning--what a PrimaDonna.  Having said all of this, I want Kobe for the Warriors. He is an awesome talent and I don't hate the kid one bit.

Lots of Kobe haters in this question.. Well here i am, a laker fan for life.. And although Kobe is not the best Laker of them all.. He is our warrior now.. and we will defend him..\n\nFirst off, f*ck nasty neezy and his low analytical skillz,he just a retard fan who didnt get a kobe autograph so he just sourgraping! haha! And Kobe is no ballhog no more,did u watch the first round?where were you guys?were u watching beverly hills 90210 on old vhs tapes?! Kobe is a ballhog?Have u morons been watching too much football?\n\nAnyways,The lakers will win a championship if the management will get someone to compliment Kobes game, like a KG,or someone who can step up when Kobes being double teamed.. Not necessarily a star but not like Odom who cant even scare a cute little chihuahua..Brown?drop him, a harmless tree could do better defense..\n\nLakers will get another Champioship with Kobe leading the way.. \nNo doubt about it, even if nasty neezy begs Kobe and licks his balls clean..

MJ is loved by all except Mark Jackson and a few other players he embarrassed into retirement. Kobe is hated for being a ball hog, uncoachable, and other off court activities but is still the best in the game today!!!!!

I have to agree with you all the way. Lebron isnt even close to kobe. Kobe might end up getting 5 rings. Lebron might end up with 0 or 1. Kobe is the most talented. He has better passes but the only problem is that he has no1 to pass too. Also when you're that good you want to shoot a lot. He wins games single handedly for his team. WHen Kobes career is over he should be considered the best that ever played th game. Kobe MVP this seasonand I'm all the way for lakers, even though i live in MI i hate pistons and lakers are ma n*****

I think so too but Kobe is the best name in Japan, that's my opinion.

on the cover? I say its kobe's turn. Great season this year, they always pick the most exciting player on the cover, and kobe is the one.

OK come on man it's Kobe, he is gonna be the NBA 2007 MVP that is if Steve Nash doesn't take it back to back awards.  Every game Kobe always plays well someway, somehow, and he might even astonish you.
