We don't always get to pick who inspires us, and we certainly can't control what kind of people they are after we've grown attached to them. If you have a problematic role model, you'll probably look past their transgressions out of personal loyalty. You learn the difference between inspiration and idolatry.
If you're not willing to make that distinction, then you'll have to be ready for people to tell you that Kobe Bryant was a piece of shit, and that he wasn't even that fun to watch.
