you gotta love Kobe, who wouldn't love a player who had three games with 50+ points, not to mention the 81 points
I would say that he is the greatest basketball player

kobe=love...where should i start. maybe the fact that he is possibly the best shooter/scorer in history of the game. or that he is an amazing dunker. or that he is one of the most exciting players in history of the game. maybe because he is a great clutch shooter. or that everyone hates him because he is great. and most importantly because he is in the top 5 of the greatest players and maybe by the end of his career the greatest
