I can't really win, when it comes to Kobe Bryant. He's been unfairly maligned for so long, by so many pathetic people, that when I put up well-researched musings that fly in the face of what Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson tell you - his clutch play isn't as hot as you would think, same with his defense, overall he hasn't been as good a basketball player as LeBron James (or a healthy Dwyane Wade) over the last few years - I get lumped in with those who make Colorado jokes or those who hate Kobe "just ‘cause." Hell, just a few weeks ago, I was termed a Kobe "hater" just for pointing out that Lamar Odom (as a way to point out just how brilliant Odom is) had a better plus/minus last season than Kobe. Doesn't mean he's better than Kobe, it just means ... ah, it doesn't matter. I mentioned Bryant's name. That's enough for 600 comments. It stinks. I work at this stuff, and it's pretty numbing to be lumped in with message ...
