I'm a Kobe fan. He is currently the greatest player in the NBA. In five years he may not be. Five years ago he may not have been. That was then, this is now. If you can't deal with that then kiss my grits. I'm sick of people hating instead of enjoying one of the all time greats. They don't come along very often and if your immaturity can't appreciate Kobe Bryant you're not mature enough to even listen to. Have a nice day.
