Why do people hate on kobe bryant .?

this guy does everything he can on the court and people still hate. Who else can put up 81 points in a game and still hate on him.

Update:

39 Points 10 Assists that's a ball hog. He scores when he needs to in the fourth quater when the games close. He let his scoring go down for the benifit of the team sharing the ball with gasol and bynum(when he was playing) Man this guy's amazing.

P.s. He really can't rap

    Kobe haters, no matter how you feel about him. There's just one thing that you can't deny. When Kobe Bryant is done playing this game, he will be mentioned in the same breath as all those NBA greats in the NBA Hall of Fame. You can cry about how selfish he is on the court, how if it wasn't for Shaq he would've never won those championships, or that he was allegedly suspected of rape... get real? Kobe, whether you love or dislike him. All your "haters" will not stop him from what will be his ultimate goal... one of the NBA's greatest players.

    If you were to take a poll 90% of blacks would say they don't hate him and they don't think he was guilty in the rape accusation that happened at that hotel with the white girl. The same poll taken among whites would reveal just the opposite belief. Remember the OJ incident? No matter what people say it's partly racial and partly jealousy. Why haven't we heard the same hatred towards Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods? Maybe it's because those guys have a squeaky clean public image. Could be somethnig called 'karma'..... don't ya think

    Because he is commited adultery by raping a girl. That a good enough reason? Not to mention, he hogs the ball. I don't think he has 1 assist in his NBA career.

    Probably the same reason why the laker fans hate on the haters. People just like to hate on things

    Just to name a few:

    -What we who are "Kobe Haters" are ticked about are the ignorant fans that overrate him and seemingly have no knowldege of basketball before 2003.

    -He epitimizes all that is wrong with ignorant Black America today, from the stupid rap song "Thug Poet" in which he talks about himself as an ignorant, idiotic thug. That's one thing I don't like about Mr. Bryant.

    But let's get back to on the court.

    -I believe he is a bad leader, he is yet to do anything of sugnificant importance without Shaq.

    He is a ballhog.

    -He called out Bynum and Kupchak, which shows you what kind of teammate he is.

    -He is overrated defensively.

    But, as much as overrated as I think he is, you have to admit he is w/o a doubt one of the elite scorers in NBA History, and of sorts helped save the NBA's popularity, with his scoring outbreak in 06.

    AND he's a RAPIST! Just kiddin'.

    get used to it, there are haters who will find something to hate if there is nothing, if it wasnt kobe it would be someone else, they will always hate a successful person which actually is a compliment, no one hates on someone who sucks

    he is a hog and he is very selfish and childish. I used to like him... but after he told the lakers pick me or shaq and more recently to trade Bynum for Kidd.. i just hate him now
