View Full Version : Who do you dislike more? Kobe or Bonds?
After seeing the thread in ATM about Bonds and with all the Kobe hating in Other Sports I wondered...
Who do you dislike more? Kobe or Bonds?

Bonds by default. I was a Kobe-supporter before the incident, and have remained so.
Though even if it weren't Bonds by default, as a Dodger fan, I happily comply with my obligation to dislike the heck outta Barry, to put it mildly.

I don't think people can dislike Bonds for being surly. The media and all the attention is not something he likes yet he puts up with it. Imagine you're Barry Bonds and everyday, Suzyn Waldman is asking you stupid A$$ questions. I'd get pissed off too. I think Jeter is very similar to Bonds, in that he gets annoyed with the media quick and is quite surly himself. However, he hides it well, as he has a reputation to uphold.
Kobe is just a childish A$$hole. He's a great basketball player, but you don't go behind people's backs and force them out and talk smack, etc. It's just not acceptable.
I would have to say Bonds, only because of how Kobe has been victimized by Shaq through the media. I really can't stand Shaq... I don't see how he's so well liked.

Please.......You know Kobe forced Shaq out of LA right?

Kobe because I always hated him
Bonds was tolerable up until maybe 2-3 years ago for me.
I got nothing against Kobe...I don't know if he did it or not...all I know is that he cheated on is wife, and I won't judge him for that.
But when Barry passes The Babe and Hank...
...I'm gonna have to explain all this to my kid someday...when I was a kid, I was told stories about Babe, Mickey, Willie Mays, etc. My kid isn't going to hear romantic stories about special players...he's gonna hear about human growth hormones and flaxseed oil....

My dislike for Kobe has nothing to do with his misadventure in Colorado. Rather, it stems from his nonstop selfishness as it pertains to basketball. I thought that he had peaked by being the most selfish player I've ever seen on the court, but then he decided to be GM too. Four HOFers down the road later, he is happily the focal point of a team that has a chance for first place.............in the draft lottery.
I'm quite neutral on Bonds.
Did I miss the Schilling button? :D

Easiest poll I've ever participated in as I like Kobe and absolutely hate Bonds.

I voted Kobe. He broke up a championship team in service to his own ego.

Nice poll question. But I have to say Kobe, since at least Barry is a little more of an honest a-hole. Its the lesser of two evils.

Kobe because he is a selfish arrogant prick that puts himself ahead of the team....and doesnt make his teammates better
he ran maybe the best center ever out of town....why?? all because Kobe wanted the team to be "his", so he could take his 30 shots a game and not have to worry about Shaq getting in the way....Kobe also hasnt learned how to make other plays around him better something Shaq does, something LeBron even does
he thinks he is God's gift to basketball....and he is far from it....I'm absolutely enjoying watching the Lakers drown out West, while the guy he pushed out of town fights to clinch home court throughout the playoffs

At least Bonds is his own man and doesnt care what you think about him. Kobe is immature, selfish, self centered, and all I think he cares about is promoting his own self image. Hes a tool.

Please explain. I'd love to hear about Honest Barry. Is it because he has been so forthcoming about steroids? Or because he is has been straight about his girlfriend? Or is it because he has hidden money from the IRS? Or perhaps purgery? Maybe it was because he told everybody about his "flaxseed oil"?
How on earth can Barry Bonds even be associated with "honest"?

Bonds, without a doubt. I could give a crap about the NBA, but Bonds has tarnished the game I love more then anyone else.

I'm not wild about either of them but I chose Kobe.
I have a daughter. Therefore in my book, I'll take a juicer over a jumper any day.

Where I'm from, the ladies, myself included, still love Kobe. :P
I don't know either of them well enough to dislike them, really.
I think their activities (if true) are both equally reprehensible.

Barry stinks more than Kobe does, IMO.

Bonds, no doubt about it. He's a fraud, and he cheated the game. Kobe just cheated on his wife.

Can't stand either one. But, Barry was the easy choice.
