Why Does The Media Hate Kobe So Much?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

I'm not even trying to rile up anyone or troll, but Kobe had it better than anyone with the media. In LA, he had it perfect. Basketball is their sport there, and he is the main attraction, the hero, and golden child of the city.
Look at all of the losses LA ever experienced. Even against Boston in 08, he received no blame, nothing, etc. I can't remember the media talk at the time of 04 against the Pistons, but I assume it was similar.

This. Kobe has been overrated by the media, if anything.

Kobe is overrated by his fans, so when media don't rate him as highly as you do. You automatically think they hate him.

Oh my goodness! Shut this thread down

Kobe isn't hated by the media. People always cry that their idols are disrespected by the media, sounding like that "leave Britney alone" queer, but none of the NBA superstars is really "hated" by the media. For all the writers who are crucial of Kobe or LeBron, there's a bunch of others who praise them.
