There are many reasons why people hate on Kobe. In my opinion Kobe Bryant is the best
player in the NBA right now but he is also the most hated player in the NBA. I have
visited many discussion forums and brought up the question of why is he so hated, and
I get various responses which seem like bull. People say he is a rapist because he
paid the girl off. As far as I know they were the only two people in the room that night
so no one else knows what happened. Also he did not pay her off, he settled the suit to
get back to focusing on his career and to keep his sexual history private.
People also say he is selfish and they bring up the Shaq thing. As far as I know Kobe has
been good friends with many teammates like Derek Fisher, Rick Fox, GP, Caron
Butler, Brian Shaw, etc. He is also very well respected by his peers. The Shaq
situation was all put on him when it should not have been. Kobe puts it all on the line
and does everything he can to win. Shaq does not. Shaq never came to training camp in
shape and one season he chose to have toe surgery at the beginning of the season
rather than during the off season. Who is selfish in these instances? I can
understand why Kobe would not want to play with Shaq. It is the same as a person with a
regular job working with a lazy person, they HAVE to do everything and they get used
to only trusting themself.
Even though Shaq has all the Finals MVPs, Kobe is the reason they won those titles.
Why you ask? Because it was Kobe’s job to win the
lakers....
