kobe bryant, one of the best ball players today, but why do fans hate him so much? Probably because of his feud with shaq, probably because of his selfishness, could be a lot of things, but lets talk about his selfishness for a second, a lot of people hate kobe primarily because he is a "ball hog" if that's what you want to call him , but that's because his teammates were so bad, that kobe should really take most of the shots for his team to win, his team mates were nobodies, but as time passed, they grew up to be good players, that the reason why he is sharing the ball now. What i don't understand is people were questioning KOBE because of his selfishnes, but i can vividly recall when shaq was still around the 2 of them took, probably 70% of the shots, but when shaq left and kobe continued to do the usual a lot of people were critisizing him for being so selfish when in fact the real reason for that is that his teammates WERE so bad back then, besides, you can't blame KOBE, he won 3 straight championships taking most of the shots along with shaq.

Kobe isn't selfish! He is good and he knows what needs to be done to win- kobe is by far the best player in the NBA-- and given a strong center-- one who is consistent-- the Lakers would have a chance to go all the way- You're right his team around him isn't playing up to par-- they need to get it together prior to the playoffs- One person can't win the whole thing. Come on Lakers- Let's Go!

I dislike Kobe because he is a prima donna and the refs let him get by with things no other player can. Have you ever noticed the number of opposing players who end up with stitches and busted lips from his elbow? Have you ever noticed him grabbing the shirts of opposing players? No, you probably haven't. I will have to say the refs have been calling games a little more fairly this year most of the time and that could be one reason the Laker's aren't doing as good as they used to.

KOBE must score in order for the Lakers to win... and when we watch a Lakers game I want KB24 to take all the shots for there is a possibility that 75% of those will be on the scoreboard...another thing is who in the Lakers team behind KOBE can score on a constant basis...and of course a SUPERSTAR need to take many shots and score to compensate his salary...
