[Kobe Bryant]

 



He is great player. But, He is ballhog which means giving not 

much pass to his teammates. He is good at playing himself, 

but many NBA don't like his ball hog tendency.


[Lebron James]

He is the best player of NBA. But, until last year, he didn't 

have ring. ( If one team become champion, NBA office give a 

ring to that team members. So, If one player have three rings, 

it means that he has won championships three times.) 

So, many NBA fans laughed at him because he didn't have 

any ring. 



[Metta World Peace]

His name was Ron Artest. But two years ago, he change his 

name to Metta World Peace. But, his play is very dirty.
