I respect his game but that's it. He has way too much swagger and he did nothing but get swept in the Finals. He is David Stern's, the NBA, any othermedia outlet's human Slurpee.

IMO I don't see why anybody should hate any player unless they took a cheap shot on somebody on your team.
There are a lot of things put out in the press. Not all of us know how true they are because some of the writers have hidden adjendas.
As far as kobe cheating on his wife, yeah it was wrong but I don't worry about what players do off the court because most players cheat. Also itdoesn't effect their play on the court which is what I worry about most. Kobe telling on shaq wasn't cool at all. IMO people tend to hang on that justso they can stay hating on him.
But noe of this matters. People are going to continue to hate hate on players like jordan, kobe and lebron because they are the best players.

Since you're a Lakers/Kobe fan I am not surprised by any of your responses.

I lost respect for the dude when he dropped the quote about being 6'8" 245lbs so he's built for basketball, i'm not sure of the exact words, and then this postseason he flops and acts like he's getting molested out there.
Also, I think his ego is way out of the building.
LOL, I know right.
Dude was like "I'm 6'9 260, I'm built for the contact" and then proceeds to get checked by Songaila, Stevenson, Haywood, and flops and whines after every play.
He was like "I'm not built to shoot jumpers all night" and the very next game he took like 10 threes and was like 3-50 from midrange
Lebron is my favorite player but watching that was just sickening. Dude cried like a little girl after every foul. Then you see the replay and its notthat serious. But as dude gets better more haters come out.

Lebron's a pompous, spoonfed egomaniac who needs to get his S.A.G card when he's through with basketball.

Im indifferent about lebron. I liked watching him play his hardest, i like his tinacity.
Im never one to pay attention to interviews and beefs and anything off the court, on court is all that matters to me.

I agree, I don't see why people HATE players as if they did something to them personally.
There isn't an athlete that I DON'T like and I am proud to say that

Word.
Yes he has and ego and it's annoying. However, what annoys me the most is how the media overhype him and everything he does. Being exposed to all thesemedia slurping is sickening.

how old are people in here who say jordan was hated? 13? jordan wasn't liked by all, but he got MUCH more respect than kobe/lebron. early on he wascriticized for ballhogging, maybe. and of course some teams' fans disliked him. but in no way did people dislike him like they do kobe

How does LeBron always end up looking like the one with the "ego".
LeBron actually said that Kobe was the best in the league.. While Kobe has said crap like that it was easier to get to the basket in Michael Jordan's timethan today to make himself look better than MJ. But LeBron is the one with the ego.

i just dont get why lakers fans hate on the guy so much. its not like kobe dislikes him, lakers and cavs are not rivals, he's not a dirty player. i justfind it stupid to hate on him b/c of his "ego." what a bunch of bs. y'all are just hating on him cuz he's rivaling your precious kobe asmaybe the best player in the nba.

This got me. I was starting to dislike Lebron, and then that quote came, and completely shut me off from actually liking the dude. Like bjm said, dudedeserves the utmost respect for his individual abilities. I respect the fact that he is a freak of nature, and dude sometimes just cannot be stopped. But atthe same time, when he proves that he can play a team game (make his teammates better, what Kobe is doing now IMO), then he will get ALOT more respect than hegets now.
But the ego thing is something completely different. That is something that would make any fan just turn his head and walk away.

Wrong answer. You stated the reason why people hate on him....then changed it to because he's rivaling Kobe. First of all he isn't rivaling Kobeand he even knows that himself. Secondly that is the media making you and pretty much everyone else believe that he is. Third PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY SAID THEYHATE HIS EGO. It doesn't get more plain than that. Are there a few who might hate because it keeps getting tossed that he's close, equal, or betterthan Kobe? Sure. But it definitely doesn't describe Laker nation as a whole so you can cut that out early.
