Don't let me get in your way, then!

I've chimed in with my "predictable" response. Now the haters need to come through with their side of the deal and turn this into a 5 page thread. Don't let me down!

No, he said they love hating him more than cheering for their own team....that simply isn't true, but the "hating" is much more frequent when it's "your" team that defeats him. It's to be expected.

Can't really fathom how you Kobe lovers don't see that?

Really?

So Kobe, speculation or not, has been encouraging his teammates to do this 'a thousand times' ALL playoff long? Considering that, even though you consider this a 'hate' thread, it's about a recent, reported event?

So you're saying if the news is bad for Kobe, don't post it, because it's just 'hating' right?

BTW, 'mod-who's-a-Kobe-"fanatic"-himself' who edited my post, is this better?:

The fact that all of you, who are Kobe fanatics are laying it on thick with the apologies and counter-insults, doesn't show that Kobe's redeemable. It only shows that even you groupies are trying to justify your adoration even to yourselves, as you tighten the blinders around your eyes.

Or is it hitting too close to home to be allowed in here?

Rather than playing the hate card why don't you actually respond with an intelligent post stating how they are wrong. A simple rules is to tell somebody how they're wrong, not that they're wrong. If they're wrong as much as you make it seem this shouldn't be hard at all. You guys make it just as hard to talk about Kobe as all the haters do. Being a Kobe-lover is not the best counter to Kobe-haters.

Guess you are the groupie.

From what I've seen, you are jumping to his defense more than his lawyers in Colorado....who's the groupie?

@ Cart Trader: of the 51 posts, how many are not Kobe related? (post search was disabled)

Laughable thread, but apparently Kobe is in fact Kayser Soze.

peace

I assume you are talking about me, a majority of my posts have been about Kobe....so what? I'm a Suns fan, our teams just had a 7 game series, it would make sense the more talked about player in that series, would get........talked about.

Show me where I am jumping to his defense? I'm hardly a Kobe "lover", he's not even my favorite Laker, just defend him against blind hate maybe. If anything, I get sick of the way Kobe gets free pass among Laker fans hence my user title "Doesn't hate non-Kobe LALs."

Let's face it, when it comes to hating Kobe, you are as fanatical as it gets, you going to deny that?

Your ratio of Kobe posts to non-Kobe posts is overwhelming, so just save the groupie title, cause it applies to you more than anyone else.

Slamming down haters =/= whining. If I see something dumb and/or illogical said about Kobe, I feel the need to respond. Unfortunately, around here, that's a full-time job.

Regardless, the fact that you're even trying to defend this thread and its author more than speaks for itself.
