Kobe in China: Kind of a Big Deal
"It's a little weird when people walk past you and they scream and start crying," Bryant said. "That freaks you out."The Denver Post's Mark Kiszla has picked up on this and seems to be outraged at the Chinese selection of Kobe as their number one sports hero:
"Sure, the man can hoop. But he's not exactly the finest example of American virtue. So why does China go absolutely gaga for Kobe?"
"Who would ever have thought that different countries have different perceptions of celebrity, right and wrong, and what's appealing on the basketball court? This is all new to me, coming from America, where everyone always feels the exact same way about what athletes are important and why. Oh, and we also all agree that the NBA is the greatest sport of all, too."A commenter on Shoals' post serves up this perspective:
"I think the Chinese just have the luxury of being able to watch games without all the extra **** that we have to put up with - ESPN fawning over certain athletes, legal problems, etc etc. When we watch Kobe play, it´s tainted by Colorado, and Shaq, and his supposed selfishness. I bet if we could forget about all that superfluousness, we´d love him that much too."
