<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MavsJ33:</div><div class="quote_post">What the heck is Kobe doing, he is gonna ruin his life, but yea I think Shaq will try and crack a joke while he testifies, assuming he does testify. I hope Kobe didn't do it, but looks like his wife will have two 3 million dollar rings in her collection.</div> Actually his wife is most lkely going to divorce him and get half of his money. I always knew Vanessa was a gold digger. Ya I hope Kobe didnt do it either. Hes a very enjoyable player to watch and It would be a shame to let a player of that talent go to Jail.
He might of "gropped" her from one of Shaqs party but the fact is, shes a slut and Kobe didn't rape her. Between the time she went to the police station and her and Kobe had sex, or in her view, when she got raped...she had sex with another man.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting harbingerofdoom:</div><div class="quote_post"> as to wether or not I think Bryant would just grab a girl... why not? Hell..even I have done that in my youth... If I could have done it why couldnt he? Just because he plays a sport for several million dollars per year does not mean he is above reproach. He is still after all is said and done, just a man.</div> That's where I disagree. Have you ever been accused of rape? See, with the normal man, it can make the local paper, but with Kobe (or any other celebrity), it makes the Times, the Globe, the Kansas City Star, CNN, NBC, ESPN...you know what I mean. If I were to touch a girl at Shaq's house, she would go call her mom and leave...and she wouldn't even know my name to even try and accuse me of anything. Since this was so long ago, why hasn't she said anything until NOW? She just wants to become a well-known person also...she wants her name alongside Kobe's in the newspapers and wherever else she can get it placed, IMO just like the first girl. That's why it's a different case...Kobe is just a man...that's true, but when it comes to a situation like this, he's a target...and that goes for any NBA player, actor, etc. This is why I said this trial is ignorant...not because of Kobe, but because of how everything is being thrown into the trial like a huge gambling pool. And...yes, if it was my sister...I would be worried and concerned, but also suspicious when I read that the prosecution is re-considering the trial. That tells me that some of the defense's information could very well be true, and it makes my sister out to be a woman giving more turns that a washing machine. That's my take on all of this.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kobe 8 Ball:</div><div class="quote_post">I have a feeling that Shaq is mad that the attention isnt on him anymore after that trade and the Lakers actually still look decent so he opens his mouth and says some stupid crap like this to be a punk and get some more attention..I doubt he testifies, if he does I will lose all respect for him for not keeping to his own business and trying to ruin another mans life...</div> What do you mean you lose respect for shaq? As if you already haven't either way if a court summons him, he must show up. He won't say anything to hurt Kobe that's a certainty.
He could testify against Kobe..if he does and does it disrespectfully (which I htink he would) I would lose all respect for him, he should put this Kobe beef behind him and stop taking cheap shots at him.. If Vanessa leaves Kobe that his his fault, even though I dont think she should because he stood by her when Kobe's dad didnt like her because she was Mexican, she has every right to leave him, he cheated on her and is now being accused of rape..he already admitted to sleeping with the chick saying it was consensual whatever happens between her and Kobe is Kobe's fault and she should not be labeled a gold-digger..
Well in this case, Kobe is just a pervert who iis just now getting some by someone who isnt even his wife. What a shame.

That's my take on all of this.</div> so to boil down your post to very oversimplified terms 1) I have never been accused of rape. (while this is true, it has no bearing on anything that you posted after it so I'm not sure why you would even bring it up 2) She is just looking for her 15 minutes of fame. that is the only possible reason for waiting untill now to come out with this. (perhaps she just got grabbed by someone and left it at that, then after hearing Bryant say "yeah, I nailed her, but she wanted it too" decided that her personal experience may have had a bearing on the matter. It is possible that people do the right thing for the right reason sometimes... shocking, I know) 3)The alligations against Bryant cant be true, because one woman is a slut and the other is just someone out to get her 15 minutes... as far as reconsidering it, its something that happens all the time with several court cases, some of them are good some of them are not. re-evaluating it just means they are going to take another look starting from scratch at all the evedence they now have in and out because much of it has changed.
Believe me when I say this, Shaq may hate Kobe but there is no possible way that he will testify against someone who won several rings with if it may place him behind bars. No possible way.

Hmm...I don't know if this is true...It could be fake...I don't know how Kobe will deal with this issue. Will he admit?, I dunno.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting harbingerofdoom:</div><div class="quote_post">read the whole story... it says why he was there. without saying its true or false, I do have to admit, there is a lot of stuff there that if she were making this up could be found out to be false rather easily. especially when she says that there was another guy there that saw the whole thing...</div> I Read the whole story..it sounds very uncredible to me.it's like saying that John Kerry and George Bush are best friends,which their not.it's kinda funny in a pothetic kind of way.but it does add some more drama to the story.

Just because you dont get along with each other doesnt mean your not friends. Friends seem to hate each other the most, but love each other the most as well.
I thought was very interesting when i heard it. Now it looks as if the Lakers have another soap opera episode.
