Kobe Bryant leapfrogs Kevin Garnett as NBA's most popular jersey
Jaydc555:
This is true but I'm not saying this because I hate kobe because I don't. I mean theirs no doubt he is an elite but he isn't a likeable person.He just has a douchebag way about him.Its the same reason that iverson was never heavily pushed.Where as lebron is a likeable person.He does things like host snl.He's an easy sell.that's just my take anyway

are you retarded? what does the amount of jersey sales a player gets have to do with the amount of respect he gets from the league and league officials? LMAO. what a jackass you are.

Professional sports leagues dont tend to want to destroy the most popular teams. Cmon man, youre rich. Does that sound like a wise business move? You think the NBA didnt WANT Lakers vs Celtics last year? You think the NBA doesnt WANT Lakers vs Cavs this year? lol. But yet they hate them....LOL

ive already stated my argument for that many times, you're just too slow to get it. an nba with many superstars will generate more money than an nba with one superstar above the rest...thats why a player like lebron has gotten way more coverage than a dude like kobe throughout the yearws. downplay kobe, overhype the money makers (lebron, dwight, wade)...it puts them in the same elite category and creates a bigger buzz.

Your argument would make sense if the league wasnt constantly searching and tryin to create the "next Jordan". What we've seen tho is that when its obvious a player WONT become that...they move on to the next. Dont be angry at the league because Kobe cant live up to it, be angry at Kobe.

yup...LeBron is more your friendly, giggly, class clown type, while Kobe is the serious, firm, fierce competitor type...you're on point, for once.

I'm not saying he raped that girl, cause it's been proved by a court he didn't. But he didn't act as a professional businessman and as a professional sportsman fucking that bitch. We all know the hypocricy of U.S. media. They make you and destroy you. Now he's just trying to get himself a good reputation again, but for real, let's not blame the NBA for that. It's Kobe who put the NBA in a situation where having him as the "symbol" of the league was not a good acceptable. The truth is that when he was a child and he was still the young player from Italy making a huge impact in the NBA, the media used to love him. And the NBA too. He ruined himself.

dude, all NBA players fuck around...

Fuck no, man. I mean yes they do, but only stupid people fucks unknown bitches for free, at those levels. Kobe ain't a rookie no more. He's a billionaire. That's a lesson everybody in the industry knows, man. Every professional rapper, sportsman, actor.. every people with a large amount of money. They know not to fuck bitches if they can't trust them 100%. Kobe should have asked the team to pay him a bitch, if he wanted to have some fun. Or he should have payed a bitch from L.A. to fly to Denver and to suck his dick. You can trust no bitch but the ones you pay. A lot of money. Fuck only professional bitches who sucks dick for job and knows how to keep the mouth shut. Or you can get AIDS, you can make her pregnant, you can get sued... Kobe knew about it. But still he was a moron. The bitch provoked him, he probably liked her, and he fucked her like a moron. Totally unprofessional.
--- Quote ---bitch opened her mouth, he doesn't deserve what happened, man...LOL.
--- End quote ---
Nobody deserves what happened to him. I mean the bitch lied. But he has to face the consequences of himself being so moron. It's a lesson learned.
--- Quote ---you of all people should know that. Jordan and other NBA idols have gone through way worse scandals with much less consequence.
--- End quote ---
True. But, like Kobe himself said, Shaq was smarter than him. He payed bitches. A lot of money. Jordan too, he payed people. Kobe didn't even pay that bitch. He fucked her for free, and the bitch asked him some millions.
--- Quote ---Anyways, Kobe was hated before the scandal, don't you remember?
--- End quote ---
Yeah, but not at the same levels. You can't deny it.
