I'm sure most of y'all caught this article on Page 2,
http://espn.go.com/page2/s/neel/030721.h..., but the part I find most telling is this caption under a picture of Lebron James:
The search for the NBA's new ideal begins now.It's captions like that that serve to remind me what the NBA has truly become: a business. Sports Entertainment. Regardless of what we hear during the duration of this episode with Kobe, how the NBA will 'wait and see' or 'supports Kobe' or whatever stance they take... it already knows where to turn the spotlights when it'll be time to move on. And fans will follow the bright beam...
Kobe's image will never be the same. EVERYBODY knows that, none more than Stern. It's time to start the old bait and switch on us.

getting arrested at freaknik for sexual assualt
how can that happen
did the officer know he was at freaknik???
same thing everyone else said. it was the 2nd freak nik at that. looking bad i don't think he understood what was going on. but my thing was go ask the female if she wanted to have us arrested

is it possible Kobe could have been set up?
And if so, who would gain from such a move 
i thought about that. but ultimately decided that the choice would have been left up to kobe
kobe is lucky he is a top flight player and not shandon anderson.
Like that movie Undercover brother
kobe got a dose of the black mans kryptonite
the more i think about it this has to be a setup, kobe bryant didn't rape this girl. But she didn't plan this on her own either.
This girl is going to be ripped to shreads... they'll be nothing left after they get through with her.
Anybody here the latest Rumor on the so-called Rape by Kobe? The deal is the sex was consensual, but then Kobe hit the bootie and that's when she cried rape. Now what is this NEW INFO, about someone from Kobe's house calling 911 and paramedics being called to treat a women in Kobe's home with medical attention? Is Kobe just a BOOTIE BANDIT? Did he bang his wife the same way and that's why medics came to his house in L.A? If so this boy must be infactuated with da bum bum.
What's the latest on Sir Kobe?
