Whiney Rapist

Over the course of this NBA season, no one has complained and whined more than Kobe Bryant. Currently, Kobe sits at 15 technical fouls on the season, one away from an automatic one-game suspension. He is leading the NBA, beating the annual leader, Rasheed Wallace. I understand basketball is a competitive sport and emotions can occasionally take over, but Kobe, along with the whole Lakers team, have been complaining an extraordinary amount. You can't leave out Phil Jackson, who has also received technical fouls over the season. During a recent game, Kobe received a technical for complaining about a foul when they were beating the lowly Sonics by over 30. Although I despise Kobe, many people look up to him and use him as a role model. Complaining because you don't get your way is not a good thing to teach to people, but Kobe has too big of an ego to realize this. He relies too much on receiving every single call because he's a superstar. But the problems with refereeing in the NBA is a whole other can of worms.
