Magic gave him perfect advice, thats if you want to lead men. You have to be one of the guys if want to lead them. Not only that, Kobe faked this squeeky clean image before the rape case, but if he had gone out and publicly chased a few skirts, and got his hands dirty a little bit, no one would judge him.
Kobe tried to pretend he was morally better than everyone by getting married and pretending ot be loyal. Magic, Shaq, and even Jordan were married, and when they got caught doing dirt, people could relate and understand. People dont understand perfect people.
