Sex And Kobe


Due to popular demand I will start reading and reporting on this terribly stupid occurrence.

By now I am sure we have all learned about the great Kobe Bryant's escapades in Colorado. Now I should start off by saying I think Kobe is a joke. In life and in basketball. They guy rides Shaq's coat tails. The biggest laugh I have had from this is from people mentioning things about his 'street cred' (he has none which is why he can't sell shoes goes the theory). Some have even suggested that this is all a ploy to gain this 'street cred'. That is obviously untrue. If he was trying to gain street cred he would either wave a gun around or actually be involved in a shooting.


But alas, he is from one of the richest parts of Philly (when he wasn't living in Europe with his dad). He will never have street cred. He will never be able to thug it up like the Iverson's. He is another Grant Hill (son of two very successful rich parents). This is actually a good thing. Believe it or not. Being NOT a thug is a good thing and you think people would strive to achieve that status. Not today. All people want to do is be a thug. That is why you see upper-middle class white kids with their big old pants, and doo-rags (is that the right spelling? Did Webster's add this word yet?) on their heads.


With my rant about thug life out of the way (I do know a thing or two about it, being from the mean streets of Norwell, MA - Cole school district), I can begin on the actual accusations. Ok, here is what happened that day in Colorado. A young women (19) is just sitting around minding her own business. A famous( yet over rated) basketball player arrives on the scene. Thinking he is god's gift to women (like all athletes) the athlete approaches this woman. This is where the scenario can branch.


  • The athlete attempts to hit on the woman whom for one reason or another is not interested in the athlete. Athlete gets angered at her lack of response and either flashes his genitals, grabs hers or makes other lewd remarks/gestures/actions.

  • The young woman reacts in awe to the athletes advances and perhaps one thing leads to another.


    Either way when either one of these options is finished the woman realizes that this man makes millions and she should get her some of that money. See that is how it boils down. Whether the athlete actually did right or wrong, the woman felt she could make a quick buck (I smell settlement) by accusing this player of sexual misconduct. Sexual Misconduct. What a scapegoat offense to be charged with. Give me Sexual Harassment or Rape of Sexual Misconduct. Sexual Misconduct sounds like dirty bedroom talk. Its like a Cleveland steamer or something, its just unacceptable bedroom behavior. It doesn't sound like a crime, just a penalty that the woman will go back and tell her girlfriends about.


    Do I think Kobe did something inappropriate? I sure do. I think he is too full of himself not to have. I just think he chose the wrong young woman. She seems to have a head on her shoulders. I'd like to see an out of court settlement by Kobe for undisclosed amounts. That proves his guilt to me, which is why he might try to fight this accusation fully.
