Spoiled Athletes

So Kobe Bryant returned to earth with a thud last night:

No 50-point game for him last night against the awful Memphis Grizzlies. Kobe isn't a cheater like Barry Bonds, or a thug like Pacman Jones, yet I admit that I can't stand him. Maybe it goes back to when he was drafted by the then Charlotte Hornets and refused to sign with the team. That automatically placed him, in my view, in the same league as other whiny, crybaby athletes who pout and sulk when they don't get drafted by the team for which they want to play. Others in this category include Steve Francis, Eric Lindros, and the sainted John Elway (do people forget the way he refused to sign with the Colts?).
