No. 1: Kobe Bryant

If Kobe Bryant is the legend everyone says, why were Lakers fans so upset the team didn't hire Phil Jackson? Shouldn't the greatest of all time be able to lead the team to a title? He doesn't make his teammates better players, and makes the game look like a joyless exercise. Great player? Sure. Overrated? Absolutely.
