I sort of get this feeling.
I feel the same way about Chipper Jones. Chipper is a HoF player and one of the greatest braves ever as a player. But the dude was banging a hooters waitress on the side and made a baby with her. To his credit he stood by the child, has supported the kid the whole way. Cost him his marriage as well.
However, he was one of the most righteous and indignant folks about John Rockers comments and was holier than thou about the whole thing. Considering he was an adulterer on his own, he had zero room to talk. That always stuck with me as hypocritical.
Everybody makes mistakes. and 99.9% of us dont have those trolled through social media etc. Kobe took his lumps and paid his price. Cost him big endorsement bucks for awhile. However, he never got on the high horse morally about anybody else.

Remarkable performance from Kobe in his final game.
Farewell to a legend.

He snitched on Shaq and threw him under the bus when a little white girl from Utah was bringing his kingdom to the ground.
great NBA player, selfish teammate, D-bag of a human being.

Does anyone else not have an opinion on him and don't care that he's retiring?

Anyone taking 50 shots would have a "remarkable" game.

Name the last 37 year old to score 60? If it was easy as that, why hasn't it been done before?

How about you finding out how many players have taken 50 shots?

LMAO quit acting like Kobe is the first and only volume shooter to ever play the game. At 37, just starting is impressive. Much less scoring 60.

It will never cease to amaze me.
STFU peasants. Basketball royalty is retiring. Your opinion is moot.

I guess I missed the part where he was proven guilty of anything.

It never went to trial because she dropped the charges after being drug through the mud by the media and Kobe's attorneys.
He did settle with her out of court on the civil case, which is an admission of guilt in my eyes.
frick him.

Or, she was a slut that wanted to have sex with Kobe fricking Bryant and then screamed Rape to get her 15 minutes and some money.

Oh you mean the one where you don't have to have proof beyond a reasonable doubt and no unanimous decision.
