Kobe Bryant is the best basketball player in the world now. But, not all the people like him. Some people think he is an angle, but some people think he is a devil from the angle city. Never had a person who is successful as him bring a so extreme disputed in this world. There are a lot of questions about him. Is he a man of honor or a flunky? Is he the God on the court or the Lucifer on the court? All the people take each stick to their arguments.
After Kobe finished his high school, he decided to enter NBA. Not because of his family was poor. Because he thought he was ready for the professional games. He got a perfect body for playing in NBA. He got inherence to play professional games. And he did well. But we can found one thing that was Kobe had almost no friends. People thought he was weird because of his loneliness. We had many weird superstars in the history of NBA. But, we can’t find a second superstar who had been called weird because of his loneliness. A lot of people thought that he wanted to be the enemy of the whole world and he deserved it. But, I think people misread him. Before 12 years old, Kobe lived in many different cities. And since 1982, he went to Italy with his family. He came back to America until 1991. His English was bad. His schoolmates make fun about his way of talking. Nobody wanted to play with him. So, he kept away with them by instinct. This was a protection for himself. The only friend for Kobe is basketball. So the only thing he could do is to overmaster all the people.
People accept that Kobe is the king on the court. But he is the loser in other things. He didn’t want to share the ball to Shaq. He wanted to end the games by himself. That makes him selfish. He wanted to be the hero all the time. He could not accept one lose. That makes him bigoted. He has a mouth, but he use basketball as his language. He is a great man, but he doesn’t have great speeches. But, he had said: “though the whole world abandons me, basketball will be with me.”
But now, everything is going to be changed. Kobe is 30 now. That is the age for a boy to become the man. He has grown up these years. He became the real leader for his team. He has more friends now. He is the real king now!
At last, I want to finish my writing with a Kobe’s advertisement made by Nike.
“Love me or hate me, It’s one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, my swagger. Hate my fade away, my hunger. Hate that I’m a veteran, a champion. Hate that. Hate it with all your heart. And hate that I’m loved, for the exact same reasons.”
