Why do some Kobe/Laker fans let Kobe haters get under their skin?

Question

I do understand why there are some Laker/Kobe fans who say MJ is better and all that. That's just to p**s MJ fans and Kobe haters off. But understand this, Laker/Kobe fans didnt start anything. It's the haters that started saying "He's selfish" "He ran Shaq out of LA" "Hes a rapist" "Cant get anywhere with Shaq" and all those things. Actually, the media might of started that too so they are basically Kobe haters, too. Bottomline is, we are tired of you hating on Kobe. And no Kobe fans don't "hes god." I dont even know why you people say that. We just enjoy watching Kobe and watch him be successful. And then Kobe haters come to hate. Then MJ fans come in and say "Yeah but MJ is better." We are so TIRED of hearing about that. It's Kobes, time. So there might be some Laker/Kobe fans that act immature but that's just to defend Kobe and his greatness. And I'm glad there's people like that. So just understand who started this all.

Answer 1

Cuz it is funny you noob kobe sucks!!!

Trade him for VC and YI JIAN!

Answer 2

Let's see what Laker fans / Kobe jocks have done in the past that may offend some people:

1) Bring up false logic like Pippen is better than Jordan; claiming the 1990's era was watered down; calling Jordan a bald headed Dominique Wilkins; and claiming that Phil Jackson said Kobe is a better player than MJ to discredit everything he has accomplished during the 1990's.  Laker fans or Kobe supporters, not only offend fans of every team/ players during that era but they also take away any credability of their knowledge of NBA history.  There is a reason why the 1992 Dream Team will go down as one of the greatest U.S.A. Basketball Team ever assembled in history.  Discrediting what Jordan has accomplished during the 1990's is like dissing Magic and Bird for what they did for the NBA during the 1980's.

2) Talk S**t about every great player in the NBA who threaten's Kobe's reign as the best player in the NBA for that particular year.  First, they made fun of Wade in a wheel chair because Shaq was able to get a ring without Kobe in Miami.  Then Kobe jocks started attacking LeBron after he singlehandedly carried the Cavs to the Finals by calling him LeBrick.  Then they get on Chris Paul's case because he was Kobe's main competition for the MVP award.  Now, it's Paul Pierce's turn for humiliation because he took away a Finals MVP award, that many Laker fans believed, was overdue to Kobe, even though his team lost badly in the Finals.  Sorry folks, Kobe isn't Jerry West in this situation.

3) Talk S**t about many NBA teams.  Calling the Warriors the worst team in California (before BD bolted for L.A.); claiming all Boston fans are bandwagoners; dissing the Bulls when the possibility of Kobe getting traded to Chicago became a possibility, calling Utah Jazz fans the worst fans in the world; stepping on Denver / and their fans after the 4-0 blowout in the playoffs, just to name a few.  Even when they lost badly in the Finals to C's, they still managed to find ways to hate on the Celtics as evident by calling Pierce names and making fun of his wheel chair incident.  Laker fans or Kobe jocks, not only display themselves as sore losers with these type of behaviors but they also make themselves look like sore winners with their inability to stay humble and show respect for their opponents.  If Kobe can learn to stay humble through age and maturity, why can't Lakers / Kobe fans do the same?

Answer 3

There's always going to be fans (lakers or not) that are obnoxious and show no sport for other teams/players. It cant be help and people and going to retaliate.

Answer 4

why Faker fans/ Kobe jockers attack other teams and their fans? they make fun of the Warriors so much, call Celtics fans bandwagoners, tell Bulls fans that Kobe is better than Jordan, and many more insults. if you stop being delusional and arrogant, we'll leave Kobe alone. stop crying about it.

Answer 5

Amen Brotha

Answer 6

No matter who the player is there will always be someone who puts them down.  MJ had the same thing in his day.  Kobe has just had more trouble in the media than MJ did.  So, to people who hate the lakers, this is ammunition for them.

Answer 7

I have been a "Kobe-hater" in the past.  This was due to his selfish play, the Shaq drama, and the date rape case.  However, I think that Kobe is starting to mature.  I was really impressed on how well he spread the rock during the finals last season.  Plus he did an outstanding job representing the USA at the Olympics.  If he keeps this up, many of the "Kobe-haters" will disappear.  Peace!!

Answer 8

Wow, calm down buddy, you contradicted yourself a few times, and your first few sentences don't even make sense! " ... there might be some Laker/Kobe fans that act immature..." Why don't you go look in the mirror and say that? You sound like a little girl. Why don't you man up and learn how to really defend your favorite player instead of crying about it? Kobe is a dang good player, but you've got to realize that he has some image/leadership problems, and he's got some ignorant fans. Ignorant fans that decided to compare him to some of the games greatest- like "His Airness." It was without a doubt the Kobe fans that started this war.  

Answer 9

The person with Duke on his avatar said it all....

Yall got some ignorant fans comparing him to MJ, And saying he's second to MJ...

Dude, let him finish his career, then you can talk...

Wilt, Isaiah, Magic, Bill Russell, Dr. J, MJ... They are lots of NBA Legends who are better than him..  He's a great player and all... But don't let it get to your head...

Answer 10

I can't hear you over the sound of LeBron and Wade owning Kobe in the olympics.

Answer 11

i think the real question should be why do you let them get under your skin you sound really upset about this  to be honest i could care less about kobe but that's my opinion i am not a hater on him i just don't like him but if you think he is the best player in the world good for you stand by what you believe  

Answer 12

Laker and Kobe fans said MJ is better to p**s off MJ fans and Kobe haters? Are you sure? I think you're pissing Laker and Kobe fans off instead. You sound like you have a lot of things to say, that was pent up inside of you and it came out disorganized. Sounds like they're getting under your skin instead too. People become defensive and touchy when their hero/idol is being attacked. Every player have haters like Kobe, I've known plenty. People acknowledged he's a good player but they can still hate Kobe.

Answer 13

i don't understand why the haters think laker fans are kobe jockers...i am a LAKER fan, if kobe is on the lakers that's great too

Answer 14

I honestly don't care wat the haters  think. I just ignore them. That's why that little block button exists.
