I don't hate Kobe but I was thinking about something today. Would Kobe have taken that 2007 Cavaliers team to the NBA finals with the second best option on the team being Larry Hughes?![]()
who knows? He probably would've at least made the conference finals if he played a team with a .500 record in the first round, and another team with a .500 record in the 2nd round. those teams wouldn't even sniff the playoffs in the West.
And to answer the OP, people hate kobe because of his longevity, the fact that he's outlasted their favorite player (Iverson, tmac etc.), the fact that he's at least shytted on their favorite team or player once in his career, and of course his success. Not to mention it kills them that kobe is going down as a top 10 player of all time. Man, i understand why their mad.
1) chasing off Shaq and was not grateful at all for having had one of the best centers of all time to play with
2) copying Jordan
3) downplaying Fischer's role as captain
4) downplaying Gasol's stardom
5) Rapist
6) very uncomfortable in his own skin
7) Extremely selfish chucker
8) Snitched on and threw his own teammates under the bus many times
9) Overrated by his fans and put into a unwarranted category
10) Overall unlikable personalty
One of the greatest wing players ever, but I think his flaws as person/player are really gonna hurt his legacy when it's all said and done.
Especially if he continuos to not transform his game as he gets older and has different players around him that could help him win.
He just always has seemed extremely selfish to the point that it has been detrimental to his teams at different points in his career.
I always respected his talent, but i have never liked him as a player.
