So Kobe's cocky right? So what does that make Lebron,
or any other NBA player for that matter?
I think its rediculous when people try to hate Kobe or
any other player for being what they perceive to be cocky.

Watch any of the games and those players who have skills
all demonstrate swager.

Watch the Cavs games and watch lebron posing
everytime he makes some points. What about the Celtics, KG, Pierce, House?
ALL players demonstrate a certain level of confidence especially
when they have developed their skills and what it takes to get that Championship.

Remember basketball is also a phycological game.
If you can get you opponent to understand how much better
you are than they are, then you have a mental advantage
on the court. When the game is being played nobody has
friends on the basketball court. It's a game of wills
and determination and players are not concerned if someone
likes them or not.

Off the court is another matter entirely. I don't know
any of the players personally so in my mind It would
make no logical sense for me to make a determination
weather I like this person or not without having met them
and had ample time to access their personality.

Until that time arrives I believe I will stick to my analysis
of their skills on the basketball court.

Sure, Kobe is cocky, but so is LeBron and so was Jordan. No player was ever as cocky as Jordan (shooting freethrows with his eyes closed, tounge wagging). Cockiness is not the point. I like Kobe's skill and will not deny that he one of the best the league, the best in his position. The point of my argument is that what makes champions is a leader who leads. LeBron leads the Cavs players, and he enjoys playing with them.

I myself grew up a Golden State Fan during the "Run TMC" era... when the NBA was all about team ball, not individual standouts. Since then I have not had any strong allegiance towards any team. I am more of a player fan now.
