Hating Kobe

When Matt from Hardwood Paroxysm approached me about participating in 'Kobe Bryant Blog Day,' I almost stabbed him. But Matt's a great guy (and an awesome blogger), so I relented for the sake of greater blogospheric cooperation.

Then he laid out this ground rule:

This isn't facetious. If you have negative things to say about Kobe, save it for every other day of the year.

Clearly, Matt has never visited Sacramento. We poisoned his burger before a playoff game! We named him the #2 most evil Laker of all-time! Though I'm not proud of it, we invented the COL-O-RAD-O! chant.

In Sacramento, we hate Kobe Bryant.

But you know what? Of course we respect his game. Of course we can appreciate his talent. For the last eight years, he has been among the five best players in the league. That's amazing. Only Tim Duncan and maaaybe Juwan Howard could say the same. And hey, we wouldn't hate Kobe so much if he weren't so damn good. We don't hate Chris Mihm. We don't hate Ronny Turiaf. Hell, we don't even hate Lamar Odom. The hatred is premised completely on the fact that Kobe has murdered us over the years. We wish he would stop.

It is hard for me, you'll understand, to heap the poetry of heroes on someone as evil as Kobe. Thus, my appreciation shall be enclosed in this graph.

Kobe, we would like you a lot more if you'd stop playing against the Kings. Consider that.

(Be sure to check out all the other Kobe Bryant fellatio at Hardwood Paroxysm.)

Kobe Bryant
threw his teammates under the bus this summer (where would Andrew Bynum be playing if Kobe had his way?). He is an adulterer at the very least. He is also either the best or 2nd best player in the world today. Easy to appreciate, impossible to admire.

Juwan Howard?

Oh,
and the fact that there has to be ground rules for a Kobe Bryant blog day says it all. Do we need these rules for a Tim Duncan blog day? Steve Nash? LeBron James?

Uhh,
Lebron drives too fast. Nash is Canadian.

Well said
I'd like to add that he shows no humility. He disrespects people with frequency (especially referees). And he will age. When he does his skill will deteriorate. On one drive to the hoop he will feel the crushing pain of running into a 300 pound Chinese man. Lying on the floor, holding his head, for the first time he will become viscerally aware of his mortatlity. The very next day, he will retire and try to recapture his best years by running for Governor. In his speaches, he will refer to himself in the third person as "The Great Laker" to lead our state into the future. But his self adulation that we accept now as begrudgingly justified will be dismissed as the rantings of a has-been, albeit a great has-been. People will mock him publicly as revenge for the disrespect and lack of humilty he showed in his early years. He will get crushed in the election by a Dot Com CEO turned environmental advocate.  Kobe's ego will crumble. Depression will follow. Alcoholism. Drug use. Arrests for aggrevated assault against his mockers.  Civil suits from his victims will clean him out and he will be forced to spend the rest of his life in Tokyo, doing endorsements for high quality beef.

Too much?

J/K, I wouldn't wish that future on anyone.  Damn, you should be a writer, that was way too funny and imaginitive.

And by the way...
TZ does not speak for everyone. I do, in fact, hate Chris Mihm.

Just what Kobe needs
more people kissing his ass.

No negativity
Does the 'no negativity' clause apply to commenters?  Because I've got a cutting comment that I NEED to let loose.

I've wanted to start my own sports blog
But I never put much thought into it. What would I write about? The Kings? No. We already have a great blog for that here.

However, I'm sure I could start my own blog about my hatred for Kobe, or even the Lakers. I think I'd be able to actually update it daily with a new reason for hating them.

Anyone else think this is a good idea?

by vfettke on Mar 11, 2008 11:36 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Let the hatred flow through you...
Join the dark side, err laker hating.  Its too easy to hate on the Lakers though when the bandwagon is so big.  I say you set your sights lower at like a clipper hating blog, no one would see that coming.

by moproblemz on Mar 11, 2008 11:42 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

But...
why would I want to hate on the Clippers? Have you seen them play?

Maybe you could include the Dodgers?

Here we go
Kobe: I'm so full of hot air, if I put his arms out like this and blow him up, he'll fly away!

My Least Favorite NBA Player
The fact that Kobe is a Laker or is a highly skilled player has absolutely nothing to do with the negative feelings I have toward him.

Kobe is an arrogant, self-centered individual who lacks empathy and compassion. He tries to come across as a sincere, thoughtful and caring person but his body language reveals the truth--he is a fake, a fraud and a charlatan in every sense of the word.

Kobe is unbearable and boo-able
not because he's a great player playing for Sacramento's arch-rivals the Lakers, but because he's a smug, primadonna prick.

If he played for the Nuggets (and wouldn't it be great to see how the fans in Colorado would react to that?!) I'd still boo his ass.

At least
We don't have to see him on every Sprite, McDonalds, Nike and NBA commercial. He may have gotten away with his Colorado Fling, but at least they cost him his national endorsements.
