nah. that's really not the problem that people have with kobe. its a lot of his antics, arrogance and the way he carries himself that turns people off. it just doesn't help that hes from the burbs.
case in point, how come grant hill doesn't get the kobe hate?
I see a lot of people name-droppin carlton banks in here so i'll say this: kobe is reminiscent of carlton from the earlier seasons. the spoiled, pompous, arrogant rich kid. as opposed to the fun-loving, goofy carlton of the later seasons.
and just curious, but what did kobe say about the trayvon incident?
