...I'll take Dwight H and Bosh over Pau Gasol right now.... other then that, either there getting near retirement or have major flaws in there game. Sorry man, Gasol is just so efficient and has no weaknesses.
I think it's agreed that that argument is lame...and getting old.... However- and I'm not being a "Kobe Homer" here-, if there was ever an award for the greatest player to be most hated on, Bryant would win in a landslide. Honestly I don't, and don't get why people hate on him so much. At the end of the day, all the things he does is geared at winning...I gotta respect that.Also, the guy never disrespects anyone (same can't be said about other players, i.e K-Douche). Heck, he even once gave credit to Raja Bell for being a good defender, and we're talking about the guy that clothlined him and called him "pompous, arrogant". Anyways I actually look forward to seeing the finals this year, not only because the playoffs have not been very competitive, but also because I wanna see how Kobe (given that his team makes it) does with all this adversity towards him and his desire for revenge against bean town. All in all, as a genuine sports fan, I'm not gonna hate on greatness (or "elite"-ness for some of you who really don't like Kobe. IMHO, Yes, the guy is totally underrated by fans.
