And I don't think it's so much that they're ignorant or something like that, but rather they just took the poll after a big game by Kobe. Like Paulo pointed out, the same thing would happen here. Bad timing on their part, I think. Maybe intentional, who knows.

The thing is, though, that they made sure to do it when LeBron had a big game as well. Sure, he didn't hit 52 points and he didn't do it against a team like Dallas, but he still had a big game.
I think the only reason anyone is even discussing this at length right now is because both teams did it on ABC in the national spotlight.
If both LeBron and Kobe had the same games on Sunday, but not on National TV, I don't know that ESPN would even be giving them all of this coverage.
