Kobe tenth most hated athlete in the world

You have to give people credit they know what they like.  However, in Kobe's case it's what they don't like.  Myself, I'd rank him a little higher on the list.

Sells the most jerseys worldwide as well.

Pretty much the same type people that buy Raiders jerseys buy Kobe jerseys.

Why do you say Kobe is the tenth most hated athlete in the world and where did you get that statistic from?  Put a link up that validates this rediculous claim of your.  Kobe is one of the most well known and loved athlete in the world. Did you see how he was greeted in China four years ago and the responses he has gotten when travelling to other foreign countries?  Just because you hate Kobe does not mean others hate him and you should try to understand why you hate Kobe which I expect is jealousy

He might be among the most liked, but he is still among the most hated. I don't see Lebron on that list though...

LEBRON did an incredible image makeover.

His popularity and likeability are soaring.

He is no longer on these lists.

So, if Lebron exercises his early termination clause with the Heat in 2015 and decides to take his talents to LA with the Lakers, I wonder what that'll do to his image makeover...and if it would result in people liking the Lakers more...

The poll was actually just conducted here in the States. It wasn't asked worldwide.

Not really surprising to me.  When I saw that LeBron's Q-Score (Likeability Score) had the biggest drop for an athlete since Q-Score's inception, coupled with what I figured were unsubstantiated reasons for such a drop, I knew it was just a matter of time before his likeability would start rising again. 

 

I see in 2010, after "The Decision", Kobe was still ranked higher on the most hated athlete list than LeBron was. 

So even after LeBron's "lowest moment", people still hated Kobe Bryant more. 

Meh. He's still one of the best basketball players that ever stepped on the court, like, love or hate him.

Why lie, with Kobe being competitive as he is ... probably more disappointed he isn't #1 lol

Isn't being the "bad guy" more fun?  If T'eo is number 2 for being dumb/naive over a fake girl friend ... if thats what it takes to be number 2 over a guy who killed dogs in Vick, eh ... nice list.

#10?!? Seriously?!?

Damn, his skills really are declining with age!! I thought sure he'd be top 5!!

He's probably pissed that he's not #1!!

I wonder what that'll do to his image makeover...and if it would result in people liking the Lakers more...

It would probably convert a few theoretical Heat fans who hang out on this thread!!

So far, I have only seen BS about how hated Kobe is, but no link to the source of information validating this crap


NO LINK = YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT - PUT UP OR SHUT UP  

kobina is in good company w tiger woods. the cheater and rayper. kobina will remain in the top ten.

The poll was actually just conducted here in the States. It wasn't asked worldwide.     

First of all, the dummy said tenth most hated athlete in the world, if there was such a poll conducted here in the USA, then his claim has NO VALIDITY because the USA, is not the entire world

Second - where is the poll and the link to the poll results?  I serously doubt that a credible poll was actually conducted
