Personally, it might be of slightly more interest to me since I watched him play in college, but I just don’t get the hero worship stuff.

i dunno ..i heard one moron on ESPN say this is our generations “JFK” MOMENT”

For ESPN, it is. At one point, ESPN used to be this nice little sports cable channel then, in the mid-90s, it decided to be obsessed with Michael Jordan. In season and out, if Michael Jordan had a bowel movement, ESPN would have a live remote. Shockingly, this must have made them money.

After Jordan retired the second time, ESPN switched their fixation to Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant. Their sports radio shows were insufferable- wall-to-wall Tiger or Kobe day after day after day. Well, Tiger flamed out and Kobe retired so now it is obsessed with Lebron James, even when LeBron couldn't get the Lakers to the playoffs, they still drooled nightly over Lebron.

So, yeah, the folks who are still around to eat up all that drivel probably do think Kobe is a bigger death than JFK. ESPN apparently made so much money sniffing this man's jock that they can't help but be mortified.

There’s been talk the last few years of changing the logo. Even Jerry West, who is the logo, has been saying it’s due.

LOL! A couple moments ago I thought, he couldn’t jump out of his own shoes but he sure knew how to post up along with any controversial “move” that went with it.

She had sex with a man before Kobe, and after Kobe.
Most rape victims like getting another session in before the hospital?

I knew Kobe Bryant by name but knew nothing about him except that he played for the Lakers. I couldn’t have told you if he retired 10 years ago or 10 days ago.

I think the last time I went to a NBA game was an LA at Baltimore one.

So, probably Wilt the Stilt and West, and Unseld and Riordan were probably playing.

Not a rapist. Not even close. Ridiculous. He was set up and victimized by a 19 year old mentally ill whore who tried to mine him for cash.

You couldn’t of said it better than if it was written by one of his attack lawyers. In fact, you just recited their talking points.
