This is true.
I do like Kobe, as much as I do any other great player, but I can see why people would turn against him... and it's not just sometimes his decisions on the court, but his horrible fan base.
I know people will say "well, you can't make a judgment call on player because of their fans"... I understand that, but no one person can be the same and irrationality from one side can lead to irrationality from the other.
And the guy he thinks is a Jordan fan, happens to also be a Bryant fan too.

And that may not be fair of me, because the number of Kobe fans may make it seem like they're more ignorant. There's more of them than there are hardcore Jordan fans. And of course you have to account for some of the more frequent and worst Kobe fans that are probably alt/troll accounts of someone to make Kobe fans look even worse. But I'd be lying if I said my view towards Kobe hasn't become a bit jaded over the last few years due to the Kobe fans that constantly make ignorant comparisons and draw ignorant conclusions about Kobe's game and legacy.
I still have a ton of respect for Kobe as a player, though. He's a lot of fun to watch and, despite it coming at my favorite team's expense, I actually enjoyed watching Kobe play on Sunday. And I even admitted during the game how much I enjoyed watching him and that he was the best player on the court that day.

I don't think Bosh is a Hall of Famer. lol. Not even close. He's not outstanding at his position... guys like Billups get into my hall of fame. I'd even throw Horry in there... but not Bosh.
You need signature games and highlights. You need awards. What award has Bosh won? All Rookie and one all-nba second. Some player of the week, 1 player of the month, CMONSON.

Oh good lord, PLEASE tell me someone else noticed this gem

Why would I laugh at Horry being the HOF when K.C. Jones is already in it ?
The fact that he even contributed to his teams more than Jones did, makes me not even need to laugh at it. Horry won't get in... but he wouldn't be the worst pick.

Because he said Horry was more deserving than Bosh

KC Jones made the Hall of Fame with the following resume...
7/4/4 career regular season average
6/3/4 career playoff average
Never made an All-Star Team
Never made an All-NBA Team
Never received an MVP vote

Only in the ****ing 50s and 60s could this happen
Those stats would be even worse if you adjusted for pace, weaker defenses and tall black guys instead of short white guys. Prime Smush Parker numbers!

Well, more like he was on Bill Russell's Celtics it happened. Kinda shows how valuable he really was.
That's why the "Player X played with ___ HOF's" can be flawed too, when not using context.
