[monosylab1k]

mono telling me to eat ?

just some friendly advice. i'm sure someone will pay you some crack money if you eat a little doo-doo.

I've been hating the Lakers most of my adult life, and there are plenty of reasons to dislike Kobe on a personal level (see O'Neal, Shaq), but these rape jokes need to stop. Last I checked we lived in a country where dismissed charges are even more prejudicial towards defendant than being found not guilty by jury.

Does anyone here believe that a woman finds herself alone with Kobe freaking Bryant in a hotel room with any intention but to be a star er? The judge certainly didn't.

All that the ordeal showed was that Kobe was an adulterer and will go to great lengths to be with his team. Please, hate on Kobe for things that actually happened and not for whatever inflammatory accusations you find most damaging.

Do they make you feel Violated?

People hate Kobe because he is just so damn good. They see the whole rape allegation as a in his armor and attack it. It's not surprising at all.

You Kobe nuthuggers disgust me.

I can't believe you can cheer for a guy who cheated on his wife, snitched on one of his teammates(what if that would of been you), tries to imitate The Man, and ballhogs occasionally when given the opportunity. He also quitted on his team a few years back and said before training camp he was going to the bulls if the lakers didn't make any moves. He's an arrogant prick who thinks he's the . He nothing more than a ...I proved that. KOBE.

Anyone looking to NBA players as some sort of beacon of morality needs to get their heads checked.

There you go twisting words. Simply saying that he shouldn't of put himself in that position to begin with. NOw he's gets labeled as a cheater, raper. etc. Believe Kobe is not somebody I look to as a role model.

[batboy]

See that? You guys can air a long list of attacks on Kobe without mentioning rape. Please do so.

People hate kobe because he thinks he's MJ. Just look at those fadeaway jumpshots he does, look at the way he walks and moves his mouth (no ), look at the way he talks in interviews, look at how he ballhogs, look at how he will never win a ring without shaq especially with the west being stacked. ......LOOK AT HOW HE RAPED THAT WOMAN AND NOT IN JAIL LIKE THE OTHER RAPISTS! Kobe is a criminal who should be locked up getting his behind violated every single ing day. KOBE!

WHy does it bother you when someone says that kobe rape that innocent girl in colorado? Was you accused of rape before?

[Trainwreck2100]

He settled with the white out of court, if he was innocent why do it?

[mikejones99]

he should have been arrested in sacramento the other night because he raped the kings that night in the 4th

I've never said anything about me. Kobe shouldn't imitate anyone just be himself. MJ had an iden y, bird, magic, all those gus had their own iden y.......what does kobe have?

[batboy]

If she was anything but a gold-digging star er, why did she accept the settlement?

See what I did there?

Not really

[mikejones99]

very good batboy

[DazedAndConfused]

batboy what was the point of this thread. anything involving Kobe, Lebron, or Manu Ginobli invariably evolves into a Kobe vs. MJ debate.

First of all, get your facts straight. Kobe was not exonerated by the judge. Instead, the charges against him were dropped by the prosecutor when the woman indicated that she would not testify.
That's very far from being tried and found not guilty. Furthermore, in Kobe's press release, he sustains he did not rape her, even though he acknowledges that the woman do not agree with him on that.
To top it all off, she sued in civil court, and eventually settled before that trial.

So the fact is that we don't know for sure wether he raped her or not, and we will probably never know. That doesn't mean he didn't do it. The trials never got that far.

So, everybody is free to speculate wether it happened or not, regardless of what Kobe claims.

To me, if he didn't do it and wanted to cleanup his name, he would not have settled the civil case, and would have followed through with it.

If Kobe was dumb enough to get into that situation, he deserves having it brought up.

Spot on as always.

[TampaDude]

Kobe is innocent...just like OJ!!!

Great post as well, sorry I didn't see it the first time.

She might not want to have to deal with the pressure of a trial like that.
Let me tell you something: Who's got more to lose here? Kobe Bryant or an unknown ?
Do you think that if the Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant could prove he didn't do it he would not have tried to clean up his name? It's not like he can't afford lawyers or something.

[JohnnySixString]

Kobe is innocent...just like OJ!!!

And it's about time people everywhere cut out all the damn OJ Murderer jokes too!

[mikejones99]

kobe was told to pay the goddam to make her go away and that way Kobe can get on with his life instead of this dragging on for years. The million dollars he paid instead of years in court to make the go away was well worth it for him.
