10 Reasons why I can't stand Kobe Bryant

10. His self-given nick-name is Black Mamba Kitana. He chose that nick-name. Three cool words individually. Together? Silly as hell. You're a snake sword Kobe?

9. Speaking of silly... Anyone remember this? I know you do JD.

8. He has conversations with a guy named Sasha... in French. Admit it Zen Master, that shit's annoying.

7. Dear Kobe, no one cares to see you kiss your wife and daughters after every Lakers win. Once again, annoying. There were Lakers players on that stage after they won last night BEHIND Kobe's wife and kids. Don't you think the players deserve to get their time to shine?

6. "Tryin to get that Kobe number... One over Jordan." We get it. You're no longer the player you were when you donned the #8. You've evolved. How poetic. But 24? Really? How bad do you wanna be better than Jordan? oh, that bad.

5. He sold out Shaq and wanted the team to be all his. Not even Phil Jackson's. His. No one likes a sell out.

4. Who's he kidding with that "I'm Kobe and I'm in the zone" face? You look like an idiot.

3. Dirty. Kicks a man while he's down.

2. He's narcissistic. Even Phil Jackson will tell you. The Zen Master goes on in his book, "Last Season" about a therapist he hired to help him through the season: "After receiving a few recommendations, I selected a therapist who has dealt with narcissistic behavior in the Los Angeles public school system. He'll be right at home here." Then goes on about Kobe's selfish behavior. "once we attained permission from the league to make sure the funds wouldn't be applied to the salary cap -- to cover a percentage of his private plane expenses to and from Colorado for court hearings. This will cost thousands of dollars. Kobe was unhappy with the type of plane that was selected; he wanted one with higher status."

1. Written by Sam Anderson for Slate Magazine: "Since he's a Jordan-like talent, Kobe clearly thinks that he's entitled to the Jordan mythology, but he doesn't have any of Jordan's charisma or imagination. As melodramatic and managed as Jordan's career was, there was some authentic core—it was original and seemed to mean something. Kobe exists entirely within quotation marks. Jordan was a master of pantomime. He built his empire largely on iconic celebratory gestures: the tongue-wag, the splay-legged fist pump, the impish "Even I marvel at my own divinity" shrug. Kobe's dramatic gestures are all either borrowed or embarrassing. That's why I can't stand Kobe Bryant." Agreed. Read the full article here.

If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hating"
