I'll get this out the way, he's probably the best player in the league right now. With that said, I still view Kobe as a bitch. 2-0-Sixx said a lot of reasons why people dislike the guy.
He's a fucking whiny bitch, yes a lot of players are but this guy is on another level, everytime he goes to the lane he screams "AYYYE," even if no one touches him.
His demeanor on and off the court is disliked as well. Yeah he did snitch on Shaq, straight bitch move, and he also said a lot of disrespectful things about Phil, and even Malone. Guys like Ray Allen are quoted for saying Kobe is immature and needs to grow the fuck up (not in these words of course).
When Gil dropped 60 on his ass he was taking shots at him eventhough he says the comments were compliments, which is bullshit.
His reaction to Nate Robinson's dunks in the dunk contest pissed me off, pure hatred and dick sucking on his part. I was starting to gain respect back for the guy but he's still same ol' Kobe.
There's no denying his talent, he is a superstar no doubt about that, but his demeanor is pitiful.
