It's every bit of amazing, amusing, and predictable how loyal you are.
Those of you that like the man and you take people like me in stride, like 'Enh, I like him. You don't. Sweet.', I'm obviously not referring to you.
But those of you that see negativity spoken about Kobe, whether it's by an annoying mod on a sneaker board, or an ESPN writer lambasting your boy, and your immediate response is something along the lines of 'Why you hatin' though?' or 'You must really like Kobe if he's on your mind like that. You gay, doggie?' or 'You're just jealous', or anything meant to attack/disrespect the person who just DARED speak ill of your boy... you amuse people.
Just thought you should know, so you could know which side of the fan fence you're on.
I'll tell you as many of my favorite athletes I can think of real quick, so you can take jabs at them... and then watch me not care. Kidd, Artest, Wade, Dwight Howard, Hill, Richmond, Peyton Manning, Barry Sanders, Griffey, Agassi, David Robinson, Magic, Diana Taurasi, Candace Parker, Cynthia Cooper, Cheryl Swoopes, Chone Figgins, Darin Erstad, Chuck Finley, Steve McNair, Troy Percival, Garret Anderson, Nolan Ryan, Rod Carew, Dave Winfield, Tony Gwynn, David Eckstein, Frank Thomas, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer... and I'm done for now.
C'mon, fire shots.
And watch me not care.
Those are all grown folks who have no idea I even exist, man. What do I look like running to their defense like it's against some rule for someone to knock 'em?
I like 'em; doesn't mean you have to.
