Chill Out Guys !! Kobe Bryant has been unfairly criticized and abhored by many...just becoz he is confident at what he does, and there's no one right now who can match him step for step, moves for moves..... He became the scapegoat for Shaq's egosim, and Phil Jackson's arrogance.....If you don't think I am right, go ask Phil.....if he thought Kobe was that bad, why did he come back to coach him again????...Oh, by the way, he had to sell his book..so he wrote whatever he wanted.......You guys can hate him all you want, but show some respect to what Kobe brings to the game itself....... .Its not fair to compare Kobe Bryant to MJ at all.....Just like MJ is in a class of his own, when everything is said and done, Kobe Bryant is and will be in a league of his own as well......There's nothing that Kobe can't do on the hardwood floor.....Don't be jealous guys....KOBE is the BEST PLAYER........I am not saying better than MJ, MJ was the best in his times, KOBE is the BEST in this day and age......You better live with it.....He was robbed from MVP in 2006...2007 is his..all the way !!!! and with better assist and rebounds than last year..take my words for it !!
