Guest Mnytime Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Did Kobe sign the new contract with Nike yet? If not it should be interesting to see if they still sign him now. Quote

Noj Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 I'll wait for a guilty verdict before I believe a word of it. Kobe is quoted in the LA Times as calling the charges "bogus." C'mon, do you really think Kobe has to even try to get laid? He's too classy and too intelligent, and I think the charges are BS. Quote
J Larsen Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 If the prosecutor's office feels that there is enough evidence to press charges, then it's a pretty safe bet that he was at least cheating on his wife. I'm pretty sure that was the point that Mny was making. If he was just cheating on his wife, I don't feel that's any of my business and it won't affect my feelings about him as an athlete. However, even if that's all he did, it was pretty stupid of him considering the potential impact on the value of his endorsements. It would definately tarnish his market image. Quote
RonF Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Denver TV is all over this story. I didn't read the article above, but - Kobe flew into Vail on the 4th with his wife and baby and posted a $25,000 bond. The charges have been sealed by a judge for the time being. If there's any truth to the story, it's not about looks or money, it's about arrogance and Kobe has plenty of that. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted July 8, 2003 Author Report Posted July 8, 2003 (edited) i've given this some serious thought.... kobe is just trying to have a kid out of wedlock, like his mentor mj da K O B E just wants to get it over with early in his career it's in the "the idiot's guide for becoming michael jordan" ss1 Edited July 8, 2003 by Soulstation1 Quote
Dave James Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 (edited) Speaking of an "Idiot's Guide", how about the Damon Stoudamire handbook? Here's a guy who's already been busted for pot two different times within the last year, but who still thinks it's OK to carry a lid wrapped in aluminum foil into the Tucson airport. When he empties the contents of his pants pockets into the little bowl they provide before you go through airport security, they ask him what's in the foil. Displaying no obfuscatory pretense whatsoever, he responds, "you know what it is." My God, this guy has to be dumber than a sack of hammers. Or, as our local rag, The Portland Tribune, put it on their front page headline, "Damon and Damoner". The Blazers, who are in the midst of trying to restore even a semblance of credibility with their local fan base, react by suspending Stoudamire (like in the middle of the Summer it matters) and fining him 250 large. Pocket change for someone who will earn $24 million over the next two years. If the NBA thinks it doesn't have an image problem, they couldn't be any more wrong. I'm shocked that so many people continue to pay attention. Up over and out. Edited July 8, 2003 by Dave James Quote
Guest Mnytime Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 By the way it is my understanding that the DA of the area is pretty uspet with the police. It seems the Police did all this without really involving the DA's office. The police went through the court instead of having the DA's office doing it. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted July 9, 2003 Author Report Posted July 9, 2003 (edited) i'm thinking of getting a zigzag paper autographed by damon. you've gotta be stupid to try and bring that stuff on a plane with security as tight as it is. i was at the airport on the 4th. damon needs to pay someone to hold his weed. he is messing up and could lose that phat contract. he is overpayed as is. 12-14 mill for next year. he was know as damon stupidmire during his arizona days.

Jazzmoose Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 It's no secret even to a nonsports fan like me that the NBA winks at pot smoking; they have for years, and frankly I don't disagree with the policy at all. Could it be that some of these players are so stupid that they think this protects them from prosecution by the law? Quote
