Until this situation happened , I had NEVER heard of Kobe Bryant. I am a basketball know nothing, since I really can't stand the sport. But , with this latest development, I can see plainly now the intentions of this young lady and more than ever see where the real blame lies. She had a choice...go to the house or go to his room. She made her choice and caused whatever transpired later.
She''ll probably OD after she loses in court.

Well even if she was taking over the counter drugs, it really doesn't help her case very much
I'm still some what ashamed that Kobe would commit adultery. By no means am I a Lakers fan, but it's still not good to see this happen.

I am sure that Kobe forced her to get naked and sleep with him. Hopefully we do learn the truth of what happened.

Bryant said Friday he was thinking more of his family than his career.
"I have a lot at stake, and it has nothing to do with the game of basketball and it has nothing to do with endorsements," said Bryant, who fought back tears several times during the news conference.

guess he wasn't thinking about them when he was getting it on with the girl huh These types of things are really sad to see. Both for the "victim" and the defendant. I'm not forming an opinion one way or another in this case. However alot of people here in cali keep saying he's not that type of person because of the persona he portrays to the media. Well you never know what happens behind closed doors.

one thing I do hate about stars is the star treatment. No matter how valuable I was to a company do you think I'd still have a job even if there was a mention of rap or drug abuse or any such issues. Heck no. And yet baseball players and movie stars seem to be exempt from it all.

No no no RicheemxX... We expect people like Allen Iverson to do these sorts of crimes. Kobe Bryant has busted his arse out of high school to be where he is. It just doesn't seem like a smart thing to do at this point of his life. He could go to prison and he may lose a lot of money out of the deal.

Media or no media, he's always been the type of person that donates money and does some community service work here or there.

well mike I don't wanna make this a heated debate about the character of someone neither of us truly know but to say you expect it from iverson and not kobe is just wrong. Most would have said he wasn't the type to cheat on his wife either

even the greatest philanthropists can be the biggest crooks donating money and doing projects doesn't mean he can't be a criminal...but like i said I can't debate the character of a person that I don't know. I hope he didn't do it but if he did i hope he gets what he deserves.
