Anyone else think Kobe Bryant is ignorant?
When he blatantly fouls someone, and the ref calls it, he goes running down the court in dis-belief and all cameras are on him complaining... yet he doesnt get a technical foul...?
And after reading Curt Schillings blog about Kobe yelling at his team mates all game long and not encouraging them.... I do not disagree with his skills, just his personality sucks. and his nostrils could give half of the homeless people in LA some shelter.
sorry, maybe I was looking for the word "arrogant"... or just think he is a stuck up ******... but I would be arrogant too if I could cheat on my wife and then buy her a giant diamond to make her forget about it.
P.S. dont call me "son" or "kid". I am neither to anyone you.
Thank you!
.... and then to hear his comments about going to drink away his sorrows after he lost last night? "having some wine, few beers, shots, probably 20 shots or so". that would be more shots than he made all game. But real professional too.

He's totally ignorant. His attitude sucks. And his wife's a douche too. After last night's game, I bet he was the sorest loser you'd ever see....screaming and throwing stuff around. I'm not saying this because he's on the Lakers...there are plenty of players I respect that don't play for my team, but Kobe is just the epitome of ignorance. I'm just going by what I see on the court.
I don't doubt he's comparable to Michael Jordan, but when you put him next to Paul Pierce there's no comparison as to who deserves this championship more. I nearly cried last night watching Paul so happy when the game ended.
May the most deserving team win.

Those are all in the game moments though. You have to take into account that players are much different people on the court. Yes Kobe is a baby on the basketball court when it comes to fouls, but I was watching ESPN one day and there a thing where someone said that the lakers and there Phil whine on purpose to get into the refs head. Sort of like strategy. And it does work when you really think about it. How many times when theres a bad call on one team a few minutes later theres a completely random call on the other.

What a pathetic post.
First of all, you use the wrong terminology. Ignorant means that he's lacking in knowledge. I would highly doubt, based on his skills on the court and past championships, that he is ignorant in anything that pertains to the sport.
Second, who in the WORLD cares what Curt Schilling has to say about Basketball???
Third, there are PLENTY more players in the NBA who do a LOT more complaining than Kobe. In fact, Kobe, this season, has displayed a cool, calm demeanor that is exemplary for many future NBA players. He tells the truth in every interview without losing his head about certain situations. He supports his teammates. He has completely made a turn-around from the Kobe that we knew the last couple of seasons. If anything, I would say Kobe's personality has matured considerably this season alone.
So, with all this evidence against your point, I would say that you are the one who is ignorant. Most sports analysts agree on this point. So, who really is lacking the knowledge here?

Every player acts shocked when they have a foul called on them, this is not just kobe. in fact, it shows your ignorance that you clearly understand cameras follow him but assume he is the only one that does this....nope, he just has cameras following him so you see him doing this more than others.
That is the same thing Jordan did, and Kobe does encourage his teammates when they DO WELL. Not when they are playing like crap (game 2).
Sorry kid, but in the real world nobody goes around patting you on the back and telling you to "cheer up" when you fail. They yell at you and tell you what you did wrong. Nobody is going to make sure you feel good about yourself, winning takes care of that.
I guess you and Curt Schilling should ask your mothers to be your coach and boss, maybe they'll be nicer to you and your fwends next time you wanna play.

its an unwritten nba rule to not eject (give a double technical) on any teams star, regardless of if its Kobe or not. Even when Tim Duncan got a technical for smiling he didnt get ejected. Look back on MJ to and youll see he was just as animated as Kobe. Most team stars complain about fouling. and im sure curt schillings blog was not biased at all right?

I'm not a big fan of Kobe either. But remember, he did get a technical foul last night in game 3. He also got one in game 1.
In a way, he might be targeted by the ref's, but it's because he's such a ignorant a$$. I think he's good, but yes, his personality sucks.
Oh, and BTW, he'll never compare to Michael Jordan. Not in skill, likability, flare, suave, or class. MJ had "the IT factor."

The word ignorant doesnt mean anything anymore. It is overused or used to describe things not related to the act of "ignoring something" (dictionay defintion of ignorance) such as being rude or racist.
Kobe is arrogant and a Jordan wannabe, not ignorant.

Excuse me yet he continues to be in his top. in case you do no longer evaluate 29 ppg in his top then idk what ur speaking approximately. actually each and every person who says the kobe replaced into/is a bad participant is mentally challenged. between the main grasp gamers to ever play. Can in simple terms pull up and drain pictures. reliable passer. His fg% is particularly intense so which you cant say hes a ball hog relatively and he purely takes those contested jumpers reason is team desires him. he's between the all-time greats.

well a lot fof players think they didnt foul when they really did. not just kobe.
yea he isnt a good teammate, and weve seen it in game 2. hes arrogant and he thinks the world revolves around him. he was "a good teammate and leader" only when the team was winning, but once they start losing what happened? he becomes bitter and starts saying stupid things.
