3. Kobe isn't from "the hood", speaks Italian/Spanish, there's nothing visibly ghetto about his life, no outward "struggle", etc. :snoop:


I don't why people always bring up this point because racism in Italy is by all accounts worse than the United States. There's no international study on racism I've ever seen which ranks Italy close to or near the United State's tolerance.

He's always been a polarizing athlete. Some hate him, some love him.

I do wonder if he would be less popular had he not played for the Lakers though...then again he'd probably wouldnt be as hated if he didnt.

Interestingly enough, I came across your username on a woman-oriented gossip board not too long ago. I was looking for football news and stepped into celebrity worship instead. Do you post on such a board?

ONTD? Yeah I post there, probably like one of 5 straight dude there. Been going there for a few years, surprisingly an okay one stop place to get all pop culture news

LMAO, I really thought that the Katrina thing and all the support Kobe was giving it would have earn him some bonus points but I guess not. Kobe's disconnect from the black culture has been because he always came off like a spoiled brat even way back when who was 'forcing' it.

As dumb as it sounds I always believed Kobe never having a GOAT shoe hurt his status, like Grant Hill for example. He basically grew up like Kobe in a well-to-do environment where he most likely was the only black in his school for his formative years yet G Hill was more embraced even though Grant was a cornball (but not a cornball brotha, big difference) and soft but he had those Filas working in his favor. It really was the shoes.
