OK, wow. If your going to agree that Kobe had a cast and STILL criticize MJ because he had a cast, you make a lewd point. Secondly, Likeability has ZERO to do with peoples opinions on his basketball talents. OBViously he's a great player, anyone with half a brain cell can see that. People hate him, OBViously because he DOESN'T have half a brain cell in regards to his wife. Dude, until now (and maybe aachons post) no person on this board besides you has mentioned the court case. Please chill out. And why the f*** do you have to star every cuss word, if your going to imply it, say it, damn.
