Isn't it obvious that the haters are just waiting for Kobe to fail? And that no matter what Kobe does...?

Yeah they are. Kobe has two types of haters. Haters who think Lebron has become better than Kobe and cant stand the fact that Kobe time and time again disproves that, and other haters who fear he may overtake MJ. If Kobe wins the title this year, he will have won his 4th at a younger age then MJ when he won his 4th. Kobe can still catch and p MJ in titles, and then the debate is open as to who the best of all time is. I'm glad because now Lebron lovers get to watch the true best player in the world, Kobe, takeover games against the Magic.
