Kobe Bryant and the Spoils of an NBA Star
I think by now all of you Kobe Bryant case. Maybe you’re thinking his accuser is just a gold digger, maybe you’re thinking Kobe is just another sports-star-turned-human?
In all likelihood, this is a guy who’s spoiled life from the age of 18 has finally caught up with him.
Think about it - Kobe went in the NBA draft, forgoing college, and was selected by the now relocated Charlotte Hornets. What did he do? He whined, saying he wouldn’t play in the Carolina’s and manipulated his way to Los Angeles.
Nice start to a career, isn’t it? Being handed millions upon millions of dollars just to suit up for a team and then saying “No! I don’t want to! Not there! Nooooooooo!”
He’s played some great games but he’s also been a selfish bastard at times, complaining he wants more, wants more, “I wanna be featured!”
There’s no I in team, Kobe.
And of course, even if things get settled in his favor, he’s gotta patch things up with his wife… a 4 million dollar ring helps for starters but… Um… That just proves how materialistic a society we are, and if she really wants to prove that with him - take him for half of everything he owns in divorce.
Kobe needs a wake up call — and this experience will be that, unless things are manipulated in his favor once again.

I might be wrong but at least I'm not such a coward to anonymously reply with my opinion on someone else's opinion
It sounds to me like John F doesn't know an f about basketball.
You obviously havn't seen the best player in the NBA play one game.
Loser
I know a rapist that is getting put on a pedestal, travis.
I also know an ignorant little fucker when I see one who helps continue to put whiny little shits on pedestals.
You may call me a loser, but at least I'm not an ignorant little pissant who has blinders on to the reality behind pro sports -- athletes getting away with plenty of bullshit because dicks like you need to worship them.
Kobe Bryant cheating got away with him. He must have cheated on his wife many times before have sex with Kate Faber.
One thing leads to another, and Kobe is ready to go, and he can't hear her cries to stop. - Maybe in Kobe's mind, that only makes the sex better.
Was it David Hasselhoff - "Knight Rider" once stated on the E channel, "Either your married or your not."
Its too bad kobe was not able to stop and ask himself what he wanted in life before something like this occured. 500 million in endorcements virtually gone in 60 seconds. What a waste.
What Kobe got away with at other places and times by cheating on his wife, time and circumstance caught up with him. I guess it was going to happen sooner or later.
People are allowed to make mistakes such as what Kobe did with Ms. Faber, and I hope he does not stay in prison long if he is convicted.
If he loved his wife, why would he ever want to cheat on her? Why did not Kobe ask himself these simple questions in the first place?
I think Kobe Bryant is just trying to be like R. Kelly and just have sex with girls and rape them. This is all Kelly's fought. If he hadn't been messing around ,neither would Bryant. Also ,if Kobe would just keep his body to himself none of this would happen.
we dont need any more rapists in the world, especially those given the oppurtunity to play a game they love for millions, and those that can be looked up to be younger ones. get kobe out of the league and into a jail cell where he belongs. Bring him to texas and we'll fry his ass
If this guys a rapist, who gives a shit what his "day" job is? Aren't there other individuals that could take over his job? He shouldn't be allowed to stay at his job while he has a rape trial pending, it's unbelievable to me that people think it's ok to have his ugly mug everywhere in public. All these people supporting this man only do so because "he's a good NBA player". What a ludicrous defense--does that mean you support a local guy accused of rape because he's a good mechanic?
