I think people treat Kobe Bryant like some kind of hero.
You have an issue with that?
I sometimes feel that he is way too overrated
While I do not think that Kobe Bryant is a hero, he definitely inspired a lot of people and I feel like since he is already deceased, we should respect how people are remembering him. Even if you think he did not deserve it, let people grief and let people celebrate his life without being to overly negative about it.
I suppose you are right. Still, all I see is people heaped praise in favor of the guy and I'm forced to put up with this every time they feel like celebrating him. Just because people are showing their respect for him doesn't mean I have to.
It's true that you don't have to like him, but you shouldn't put people down for it. How would you feel if someone told you that someone you admire wasn't really that great?
