just a Kobe apologist trying to find some kind of justification
basically hypothesis is that the reason so many people are down on kobe is just because there is more exposure now adays with the internet n the 24 news thing
in a way that is true
but in a way it is not
at Jordan's peak he was the absolute biggest thing in the world
seriously
i remember some early 90s poll he was like third most recognized behind superman and micky mouse
the jordan phenomenon was way way bigger than anything kobe has experienced
also
kobe's been in the league since 96
while jordan was still paying and before the big bad internet was so widespread as to make evereyone hate him
but guess what
people hated him anyway
right off the bat
even shaq his team mate
alot had to do with his demanding to go to LA, as with other draft day demanding athletes, fans really hate that
but a lot had to do with just his personality, youth etc
finally i think the blogger doesn't really understand the amount of negative criticism that jordan did actually face through out his career
there was a ton
a ton of people said he was selfish and would never win
a ton of people said even when he did win he was a dick
he got a lot of heat for jordan rules
he got a lot of heat for gambling
he got a lot of heat for not going to the white house
he got a lot of heat for the price of his shoes, and his failure to live up to some ideal of being more than a salesman and taking some social stands
sure we dont think about it now
but jordan didnt have it all sunshine all the time
i think kobe's polarization has already faded
and will continue to
and when he does retire, no he wont be as beloved as jordan
but as time goes on he will be viewed more and more fondly in retrospect (seems like always the way)
