It's this sort of thing that makes me at least willing to consider the truth of this woman's story. We've seen this enough in society that you have to know if you charge a superstar with something like this, you're life is about to get torn to shreds for public entertainment. So you either have to be seriously desperate beyond all rational bounds for attention or (the hope of, not anything close to the guarantee of) money, or there's some truth to the story.

Now I can dig that. Those are words of wisdom right there. The thing with Kobe is really nothing new, we just have to wait and see. The only thing that I wanted to add was, I heard that alot of stars and athletes do their business on camara just to avoid these types of situations. Maybe Kobe should invest some of those millions into a video camara if he can't keep it in his pants.
"NOW YOU GET YOUR WHININ ASS OUTTA HERE!!" Sid Vicious after slapping Bret Hart
Unless he is actually guilty (you know, that has to be considered at least a possibility), in which case a video camera would be the last thing he would want or need.
Everything that is wrong in this world can be blamed on Freddie Prinze Jr.
You know, first thing, why did Kobe even get married to begin with? I mean you are in your early 20s, rich, famous, why be tied up to just ONE woman. Secondly, the chick who has accused him is cute, but not HOT, not worth raping or cheating on your wife for that matter. Why bother?

So in other words, if she was hot she would be worth raping?
BTW, apparently the pics circulating around the web are not of the accuser.

Kobe got married for the simple reason that he knocked up his girlfriend and Shawn Kemp'ish publicity would have been a detriment to his image.

redsox, you're a retard. They got engaged when she was in high school FOUR YEARS AGO and just had their first baby in January. Do the math.
Here is some info, which if true (and why wouldn't it be) seems to lend credence to the idea that Kobe's getting played. I excerpted this from the ESPN page 2 column by Ralph Wiley:
Now, when I first heard about the double murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, knowing what I know about Juice, I said to myself, "Yep, that fits; 90 percent of the time, that'd be somebody you know. Somebody cared to take that much time, cut that deep. And knowing what Juice was capable of, how he was situated, yep ..." I wasn't going to go around saying it, because, first of all, since I'm what you call black, who'd listen? Seems media is mostly interested in its own frenetic onanism, what my man Ray-Ray Ratto calls "... the ritualistic danse macabre that induces the legal system & the media to embarrass themselves in tandem."
The Juice embarrassment I could've stirred up a lot better if my instincts had told me the opposite -- that Juice didn't do it. Then I could have gotten plenty of play, being black and all. I've come to think of it as like having the black pieces in chess -- you move second, you're on the defensive from the get-go, but at least you get to move. There was also this little matter of trial by jury, and being prejudicial to a potential jury with your public comments. And there was the 10 percent chance I could be wrong.
Now, when I heard about the alleged sexual assault in Eagle County, I also said something to myself. Knowing Kobe somewhat, seeing how he was situated, I thought to myself ...
Nope. That doesn't track. Especially not now, since I have a copy of the timeline; whatever happened, happened between 11:14 p.m. on June 29 and 12:35 a .m. on June 30. A 19-year-old hotel employee goes off duty at 11 p.m. A phone call is made from Kobe's room at 11:13 p.m., apparently to the Newport Beach house where his wife Vanessa and their daughter are staying. To me, this is classic screw-around mode, not I'm-about-to-commit-a-felony mode. By calling he pre-empts the surprise call from home that will interrupt the planned festivities. Then, whatever happened happened. And by 12:36 a.m., a pay-per-view movie is ordered in Kobe's room.
Accompanied by her parents, alleged victim reports alleged assault at 12 noon June 30 to Eagle County Sheriff, is then taken to Vail Valley Medical Center to undergo tests. What's Kobe's motive? When's he had time to covet something enough to take it? And why that lag time between act and report? What happens if she mentions it, and to whom? The Kobe I know wouldn't bust a grape. When he tries to act hard, like making a rap album, or in that Sprite commercial, where he's shown working out in a boxing ring, punching into mitts held by what is ostensibly a trainer, I shake my head. It's inauthentic. My gut instinct says no. There is the 20 percent chance I could be wrong. Kobe's guilty of being stupid, not guilty of a crime, that's my gut, although I remind Kobe and all the young brothers: If you are playing with the black pieces, stupidity can become a felony, a crime punishable by jail, and even death.
Given that the type scrutiny that is described in this article has even happened here in this thread, it is understandable why there may be some delay between the possible crime and the reporting of it.
Everything that is wrong in this world can be blamed on Freddie Prinze Jr.
Teams that can beat Miami: - OKC. - The Clippers, assuming they don't revert back to the Paper Clips. - Bulls (/w Rose). And don't put it past the defending champs.
