I hardly call that an admission to rape. I call it seeing the other person's point of view.

Read this carefully: "I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter. "

He's admitting her logic is correct. He's not admitting he recognizes that she has her own point of view.

Since Kobe had his hands around her throat, it was extremely difficult for the woman to ask him to stop....as Kobe said to the police during his interrogation, "it's my 'thing', it's what I do" and then he gave the police the name and cell phone number of a woman in New York who he does "his thing" with when he is on the east coast.....

While the woman has a promiscuous background and this all began as mutual sex, I don't think she was prepared for the choking part of the sex, which led to the rape charge.

Bryant's hesitancy to agreeing that it was rape was due to his claim that it was "his thing"...

You tell me, is that rape or just a romp?
