People hating on Kobe Bryant at this point are just total f*cking idiots.
Yes, I know it is too bad he and shaq could not get along. And i also know about the affair in Boulder, and some of his minor personality flaws. But anyone that is still wanting to talk about Colorado, you clearly haven't spent enough time on the internet, and those same personality defects are what makes him, MJ, and very few others in the history of the game great.
Here's what's truth here: there is no way to possibly minimize what Kobe stands for in a pure basketball sense. Even if you buy into the "he's a selfish player" crap, there's one unavoidable problem with that logic....... being selfish alone does not get you on the same level career wise as Michael Jordan.
There have been tons or great scorers in nba history—"just scorers"—take Tracy mcgrady, Allen Iverson, Dominique Wilkins, alex english and the like....... and yet none of them have been capable of what kobe has accomplished: Multiple MVP's, allstar and all-nba selections, 6 finals apperances, and 4 world championships...and a gold medal for good measure.
It's unbelievably difficult to score this much: 9 strait games over 40 points, 3 strait over 50, 81 in a regulation game, avg of 35.7 ppg in a season, 56 in a half, 30 in a quarter(multiple times). He once was leading the mavericks entire team in a game at the end of 3 quarters the score was Kobe 62,Mavs 61!!!!!! those feats are the stuff of myth, just ask MJ himself!
Look people, this shit is not easy. You can't come into it cheap. And if you watched Bryant play for a split-second, I'd like to think you'd grasp at what an advanced basketball presence he is on the court. The silliest part of it all is he gets better every single year, to simply point out footage from past games is almost embarrassing. This guys footwork has been perfected beyond anything we have ever seen before.
He is speed, power, skill, determination, and inteligence all rolled into one incredible ballin' machine.
If you hate him then you're discrediting your own love of the game.
At this point, hating kobe would reflect poorly on you as a thinking human being.
