why do you think kobe is a ''bad'' player?

Question

I mean in this month he scored Fifty points on the Hornets on Friday night seemed so improbable, what with the exertion of dropping 60 points on Memphis, 50 on Minnesota and 65 on Portland in the several days.

Answer 1

jdwj76's answer epitomizes the irrationality of these Kobe detractors: Why is Kobe a bad player? "Because he sucks!" Thank you for the brilliant insight. Obviously Kobe's game is about as far from bad as you can get; therefore, these haters have nothing to fall back on but inane comments like, "He sucks because he sucks." And another thing....

AN ACCUSATION OF RAPE DOES NOT MAKE YOU A RAPIST!!!! Kobe Bryant never raped anyone. I pray that none of you ever know what it's like to be falsely accused of so heinous a crime and have the stain of that accusation follow you the rest of your life. Kobe Bryant is guilty of cheating on his wife. That is all. Incidentally, not only did Michael Jordan shoot more than Kobe on average, he also committed a hell of a lot more adultery, and yet MJ is beloved while Kobe is reviled. I'm not saying MJ does not deserve the adulation he receives, but Kobe doesn't deserve scorn for taking fewer shots than MJ and having fewer extramarital adventures.

No, I don't think Kobe is a bad player and neither does anyone else who's actually thinking.

Well said Space.. To add to this rape issue, if you are a true laker fan and followed the case closely knowing that the future of your team hangs in the balance you know more facts then just kobe maybe raped this girl. For one thing why after two months of dragging kobes name through the dirt did the charges get droped, and setteled out of court? Because she felt to emtionally stressed to testify. But not to stressed to accept the millions offered to her. Second...She had been proven to falsely accuse TWO other men of rape prior to the Kobe incedent, when this was learned (yet not admissable because the accusers history is seal for trial) then the sudden emotional stress occured and 2 days later charges were dropped. hmmm...she also spent some time in pshyc ward for mental evaluations. Dont even get me started with the panties issue. I could go on but why? Kobe never raped her, just adultry, it was about the money and she got it. Well done. though i'm sure all the kobe haters are all law biteing , moral, perfect with a halo above your head citizens.

Answer 3

I don't. Whoever thinks he's overated, well he just proved ya'll wrong. he scored 50+ points in 4 straight games. People just hate this guy because how much he scores. But have u ever thought of his teamates? He's really the only 1 that can score. And now that he's the team captain, it's pretty much his job to score. ( A LOT)

Here's another question from me. Why do u think that Kobe's Jersey is the best selling jersey in L.A. ?

Answer 4

I dont think Kobe is a bad player. He has calmed down alot but I still think he shoots 2 much, C-mon 60+ points. Who else on the team is scoring.

Answer 5

If Kobe was ever considered a "bad" player, it would be probably due to his great will to win. Sometimes, wanting to win can swing either way. It can either lead to a player who invovles his teammates in order to get the team to win the game. Other times, a player may "take over" in order to win. Kobe and other superstars always try to be a team player. But, sometimes, when Kobe passes to one of his teammates, they don't neccessarily knock down the shot or make a play. When it gets close to the end of the game, specifically the fourth quarter, he starts to take over. Usually, he does so successfully. On rare occasions, he forces the issue when his teammates are wide open.

Sometimes a player wants to win so bad, that they know that they can do it themselves. It doesn't mean that he thinks that his teammates are absolutely horrible, but that the player knows what he can do, so he does it. That superstar doesn't know exactly what his teammates are going to do or what they're thinking in "crunch time".

So, Kobe, has complete confidence in himself, but when the game is on the line, his teammates disappear, and he can't completely trust them.

Answer 6

Kobe is not a bad player i just think he needs to be more of a team player and let others try score the ball he's thinks to much about scoring and not enough on team ball but scoring like he does is pretty impressive

Answer 7

I don't think he's a bad player, just a disgusting human being. I have no respect for him as a man. Some people seem to believe that being a good athlete makes you a man and a good person.
ag3nt9o: apparently you are not from the U.S.A. , in this country we are all entitled to our own opinions. Apparently you are so small minded that you believe everyone must agree with you.

Answer 8

becuase hes a ball hog which is a bunch of crap anyone who calls him a ball hog knows nothing about basketball he takes less shots than jordan and we all know mj is the best ever. to the guy above me he scores 60 because no one else is scoring. its not because he scores 60 they dont score

Answer 9

I don't think he's a bad player in terms of his on-court ability.

I think he's a bad player in the sense that the word "player" is used to talk about womanizers. Also, there's no such thing as a GOOD player in those terms.

Answer 10

Kobe is almost like a one-man show! Everyone on the Lakers is riding shotgun while Kobe drives.
