Kobe is strange because he gets hate and criticism from both nikkas and whites. His biggest supporters that I’ve seen are Asians and Hispanics
Why do people ignore that there's a racial component as to why Kobe is so disrespected as a player?
- Thread starter Ozymandeas
- Start date
The would kill for Kobe
There's OJ vibes to Kobe for some white people. That's why Ari Shaffir felt comfortable making rape & dead jokes on the day he died until his LA gigs got cancelled, started fearing for his life etc, and ran to NY under a different stage name for a little bit. To them Kobe's one that got off
Black folks I haven't heard say much bad about him, especially later on with the 2 rings. There was some stuff about Kobe being a "other" like because he spoke spanish & italian, married a hispanic, all that shyt, that he didn't want to be black (OJ again). But all that can be chalked up to if there's one thing nikkas love to do it's put words in your mouth, thoughts in your head and challenge somebody's black card, esp a celeb's. Most weren't & still aren't on that by the end though, nikkas still screaming Kobe out here
Asians & hispanics yeah you won't hear anything bad about dude, a lot of it is just geography. Hate to bring up Bron like he's done anything wrong, but there's a big difference in playing at one spot your whole career, walking around town interacting with folks, flying over the neighborhoods in helicopters & just fitting in. East coast nikka like Pac but both just fit the vibe, asians & hispanics adopted him in the Dave Chappelle race draft basically lol

ESPN / Disney will never allow a black man to be accused of a crime like rape involving a white woman and market that athlete as a GOAT. Kobe's peers and people with actual basketball knowledge know he's top 2. It's just him and MJ. That's it.
So anybody who doesn’t think Kobe is top 2 ever isn’t knowledgeable about basketball?
Plenty of arguments for other people at that number 2 spot. To dismiss them as not knowledgeable about the game of basketball is dikk eating stanley shyt

1. You're going to find racism on every website.
2. You actively looked for that post on reddit to stir up drama on the coli. Because that was posted 4 months ago, and there's no way that would ever be trending on reddit given that the turnover on posts there is generally 24 hours at best.

And bring them here?

This post is nonsense. People love Kobe. He's one of the most beloved athletes of his generation.
I see what this is. You are trying to use racism for why people don't have Kobe as high on their all-time player list as you would like, even though there is only one White person who gets mentioned in these top 10 conversations (Larry Bird).
At the time of Kobe's death most people had forgot about that rape case and many younger people didn't even know it happened.
