First of all, Kobe Bryant is the best player since Michael Jordan, and even in their primes, if they played one on one...I would lean towards Kobe...he plays a totally different game than anyone else...he takes it to the rim when he has to, he dishes it out when he needs to, he goes up for the rebounds, and most importantly of all...he puts the team on his shoulders and and carries them to victory...\n\nPeople will tend to say that without shaq Kobe wouldn't have gotten those rings...that may be true but without Shaq, the Heat wouldn't be the number two team in the Eastern Conference...he's a one in a 100 years player, there won't be another like him anytime soon (shaq that is...) Kobe can't do it all, all the time though...he's proved he can win games squarely by himself...ala 81 point games and numerous 60 point outings as well...one more player would make the Lakers a true title contender as well...The thing about Jordan was that he made the players on his team better...well if you look at the players around Kobe, he makes them better as well, Lamar Odom is good but he's not almost triple double average good...Kwame Brown never really produced until he got to LA, now he's almost averaging a double double, smush parker is an up and coming point guard...wonder why?  They need a true big man to push them over the top...\n\nI'm glad you asked this question because I feel the exact same way, but I've gotten used to all the Kobe haters.  He's a one in a life time player and everyone knows that, it's just that he got a bad rap after the whole rape incident and it was proclaimed that he ran phil jackson out of town, but miracuously he is back coaching them...it was "supposedly" his doing was the reason Shaq wanted a trade...people just don't understand, Jordan came around and was a one in life time player that never made mistakes...except reportedly using drugs...but everyone looked past that because he was a nice guy...that's not the case with Kobe, he's not a jordan esque player, but he's just as good....\n\nOh by the way, just tell whoever comes at you with this arguement...ask them who else averages 35.0 points a game...see what they say about that...

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.

Well, I dislike everything about Kobe inside out, from his ugly face down to his selfish, arrogant attitude...\n\nWhat's not to dislike about him?

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!!

I hate him but i have to admit he was the best basketball player ever.\n\nThis is from a hardcore New York Knicks fan that had to suffer in the Jordan years. What am i saying I'm still suffering but that's another story.

I definitely think Steve Nash deserved it this year. It was stupid that the LA fans was chanting MVP for Kobe Bryant. He's not the greatest player in the league, because Steve Nash is one of the few guards that truly make everyone around him better (the other guys are probably Kidd and James). But Nash also has the record and determination as well as the lack of height and atheleticism to show for it.

People say he's selfish because he is the leagues best scorer and every time you turn around he's hitting for 38,40,45,50.  If you look at it like this, Kobe gets criticized for his scoring, but when he does try to pass (like he did in game 7 against Phoenix) ever one says he chocked, or that he needed to step up.  But when he went for 50 and they lost game 6, everyone said he should have "passed more".  He leads his team by scoring and taking the big shots, as opposed to the way LeBron does it (by passing and setting his teammates up).  It seems to me Kobe will get slammed no matter what he does, people will always hate him because he is the best in the league.  Jordan went through this his whole career, its nothing new, and it will never change.  People will always find fault with Kobe's game.  For example, if he averaged 28 points and 7 assist next year I bet everyone would say that he has fallen off as a shooter, or that's he's not a great scorer anymore.  Its a catch 22 if you ask me.
