the MSB loves to hate Kobe, it's like he fricked all your slutty daughters/wives/sister's in a Denver hotel. the butthurt is almost to a hilarious level.


It's weird the amount of internet hate for the guy. It almost seems personal.


Every Coach & Ex player respects Kobe like few others in the history of the game ,but guys hiding behind a computer....

you honestly cant even say you like sports if you dont know who andrew wiggins is. holy shite.


I love football - college and pro. I could not care less about any other sport. Why would me not having a clue who Andrew Wiggins is mean I don't like any sports at all? That's just silly. I don't know a single current hockey player or a single soccer player.

that's been pretty well debunked by anyone who has looked at his numbers down the stretch. the best you can say is he's not afraid to take a bad shot and miss


Yeah. I posted an article earlier in the thread. At one point, he had about as many air balls as makes during late game situations in the playoffs. What was probably most problematic was during some stretch of games he had 1 assist to 54 shot attempts, and he shot 31% in late game situations (last 24 seconds of games) through 2011.

not saying I think you don't like sports at all or anything just responding to this

wiggins has been very highly touted as the next LeBron type player and is extremely well known in the sports arena.

nba is much more prominent than hockey and soccer around these parts. that isn't a great comparison

I don't have cable, much less ESPN. Not one of my friends gives two shits about the NBA and know I don't care in any case so don't talk to me about it.

There are very well known authors in the fantasy genre that you probably have never heard of. Or well known fund managers in the finance industry that every single one of my colleagues is well aware of but you would likely never have heard of.

We all think our little corner of life/interests is much wider than it is. I guarantee you most of my friends and family have never heard of Andrew Wiggins.

dude I was just responding as to why someone would find it odd, I wasn't attacking or trying to talk down to you in any way. I wasn't even agreeing with the guy just saying why someone might respond that way.

I would imagine that individuals posting on topic-specific message boards would generally know the popular individuals in that topic-area, let alone if that area is extremely popular.

Right? I don't have 5000 posts on a literature or finance message board. Not even close to a fair comparison. And your friends/family not liking sports is not relevant either.

I actually guarantee that you have the most posts of anyone on TD (and possibly the entire online sports culture) who doesn't know who Andrew wiggins is so you are an oddball and it is interesting.
