Great thread

Kobe is by far the most popular player in the world but he is getting ignored because ESPN is gassing Lebron.
Nevermind Lebron plays on an allstar team with HOF'ers everywhere around him they act like dude is still on the Cavs.. Replace Bron with Rudy Gay and Heat still win the title.

Meanwhile Kobe is averaging 37-7-7 points on 58% shooting in the last 7 games with a winning record and he is getting hated on by CAC's like Jon Barry.
Lebron must be buying these media dudes lunch or something cause they got their head buried up his ass right now.

ESPN has been pretty bizarre lately in its LeBron worship. They've been pushing dude as the next MJ for a while but lately they've taken it to another level by creating irrelevant stories just to mention him on nights the Heat don't play. Like a few days ago they had some dude analyze whether LeBron was worth $75 mil/yr. :what:

I know MJ was a big cash cow for them in the 90s, so I understand from a business standpoint why they wanna push LeBron since he's gonna be going for the next 7 years, but when are they gonna understand that ITS NOT WORKING.

LeBron wasn't the leading vote-getter at the all-star game (that was Kobe). He doesn't have the top selling jersey in the NBA (once again that is Kobe). He doesn't have the top selling sneaker (that is still MJ even after he's been retired for 10 years).

Even at this advanced age it seems like Kobe is still more popular both inside the US and globally (its not even close in places like Europe and China). Kobe never approached MJ popularity within the US, but globally he's close. LeBron, on the other hand, has not even reached Kobe's popularity within the US, even though ESPN has been pushing him for the last 10 years.

ESPN is worried about its money...:manny:


why do you think they havent talked about the Lebron steroid rumor....They talked about Arods though :youngsabo:

I have talked to dudes from other countries (Europe, Phillipines, South America) they say Kobe is still talked about like MJ over there with Bron not being as popular because of his ugly game. It is only in the U.S. that he is gassed like Mentos in a Diet Coke bottle. CAC's are still pissed that he touched a white woman...

ESPN reason for hating Kobe is racism
Lebron is the harmless Wayne Brady--Carlton type of Black dude.

:hov: Kobe's not even considered black by real nikkas. Street cred is just sick, not flabby because that would mean some type of weight.

Face it, breh, Kobe's time is done. LeBron is The King and he just took sole ownership of the league in June. His reign has just begun. From here on out, it's his. Deal with it.
