    One of the best players. hide show

    The rating by no means reflects my view of him as a player, but as a person in the public eye. The debacle in Colorado was what made me never look at the dude the same way. Guilty or not, I don't think that the whole story is discovered. But getting to his play as a sports figure, he is among the very best in the game. He is a bit selfish at times, but for good reason. Maximum effort, great defense and a drive to win makes Kobe Bryant different from most other NBA players in that he wants to win. Thank you.

    He's an outstanding ball player.. just too much of a ball hog, if you ask me, and a lot of other people, too. hide show

    Like I said. Don't get me wrong. Kobe Bryant is an oustanding basketball player, and his rapid amount of dunks really thrills me. But he has got to learn how to share the ball with other teammates. In my opinion, he's too much of a ball hog. LeBron James, as well, used to not be that way much, but he's catching on to the Kobe Bryant ways, unfortunately.

    I know, I know. Kobe Bryant has scored 81 points before. He's gone on a stretch of about five games or so, where he had scored fifty or more points last season. I know, I know. What? I said I know! I mean, I give props to him. But maybe this offseason, he might want to join a special basketball camp, dedicated to one major thing. Assists.

    Kobe Bryant is one of the best current basketball players ever. Kobe has the skills. hide show

    Kobe Bryant was drafted straight out of high school and he first played for the Hornets. Now he plays for the LA Lakers. Kobe has all kinds of lay up tricks. He always be making them. Kobe can shoot. He also scored 81 points in one game. He made NBA history. I hope he does it again or get close to 81 points. Kobe also had a feud with Shaq when Shaq was playing for the Lakers. They were fighting. But him and Shaq are straight now. So I hope Kobe keeps it up and I hope he continues to score high points next season and win another championship.

    Kobe Bryant is the greatest Basketball player of his generation. hide show

    You all should bow down to greatness, Kobe Bryant has the best skills and tools to be the best Basketball player ever, whether or not you like him you have to respect his play and what he has done for the game of Basketball. He has Three Championships and has scored 81 points in a game and has had to many buzzer beaters that have been old school highlights to this day. I believe he will win more Championships and eventually an MVP, he has had a career that most will never have and he will be in the Hall of Fame.
