The Official Kobe "Hate to Appreciate" Conversion Thread

[Tacker]

I was once a hater of Kobe and always criticized him and said he will never win one without Shaq. Well its official I have converted from hating Kobe to appreciating him, His fourth ring is well deserved. Good Job Kobe.

I stopped hating Kobe a few years ago, but liking Kobe doesn't mean I'll ever stop hating the Lakers.

I still hate him for the POS he is as a person, but I'll certainly give him props for winning one without Shaq around to carry him.

Awesome sig btw.

I respect him as a player....BUT...he is still too cocky for his own good. We get it...you're good.

Not everyone can be as humble as Duncan but ilived in SA Dfish is humble and many Spur fans STILL hate him ...so it doesnt matter.

I don't hate anything about his game..I've never thought he was a selfish player on the court, he's the 2nd most skilled player I've ever seen next to Michael..I don't care that he's cocky, that just come naturally with talent..

I hate the man, because how can you not?..if you have morals, you have to hate Kobe..

-Allegedly rapes a woman that he admits to having fucked..only the 2 of them know what went down..I judge by character..

-Throws his teammates under the bus when he isn't satisfied with them..

-Throws management under the bus..

-Publicly calls out Andrew Bynum and asks for him to be traded..

-Quits on his team in game 7 vs. Phoenix..

-Snitches on Shaq for no reason, other than he was going down so he tried to take him down with him..

Is is really possible not to dislike him?..this is a guy that is idolized by many kids, which is horrible..that cannot be good for the future..when he shakes Obama's hand, that will be the worst moment of the new millenium, only behind 9-11..
