    Default Re: Anyone else both a Kobe and lebron fan?

    After Kobe threw Shaq under the bus as a player and a person, I disliked him for a while. But eventually I realized that this was counterproductive, that Kobe was a special and unique player and that I was doing myself no favors by letting my dislike get in the way of appreciating that.

    Aesthetically I don't love his type of game, favoring difficult mid-range jumpshots rather than looking to get teammates involved. But I can't deny that he was an absolute master at it, and the way he made a contested fadeaway almost as automatic as a layup was pretty awesome to behold.

    I feel bad for those who are so consumed by their hatred that they miss out on appreciating these great athletes' games while they're still around.

    I'd say this. He both praises and shits on both of them.

    Yeah I get that. Kobe is my favorite player but watching him play from the get go I have simultaneously wanted to choke him for taking stupid shots and also bow before him for saving my team and basketball interest. I guess it’s all subjective. I don’t even think lebron is aesthetically bad either. I love his spin lay ups and tomahawk dunks.

That that was your true personality. Or that you were in a wheelchair.

    I love Kobe i just think he gets heavily overrated by casuals and his stans

    If Kobe fans would just put their pride aside and accept that LeBron is better i wouldn't need to bash Kobe

    Im a fan of both. Never understood why most people seem to choose sides and can't like both.
