America's 2011 Most Popular Athletes Named: Kobe Ties With Jordan

Kobe Bryant lost the chance to win the 2011 NBA Championship and all Los Angeles Lakers fan were hurt.

I guess the pain won't stop there because Kobe has again lost another one but this time it's the list of America's Most Popular Athletes. But stay positive Kobe fans because he's still included in the TOP 10. It's better than LeBron James who's no longer in the list. Congratulations to Derrick Rose for making it to the 9th spot this year!
