Frankly, I tend to believe Kobe here...it's pretty obvious that the Lakers have done nothing to help the guy, I don't blame him! If it was Kobe who demanded Shaq be traded then why didn't the Lakers acquire talent to replace him...certainly lots of players would love to play in LA. And, if my memory serves me correctly, Kobe wasn't convicted of any crime and the woman's story was well...! What happened to the Duke Lacross players should serve to remind folks that justice should never be based on speed, and first appearances. Kobe and the Duke boys were guilty of bad judgement, in Kobe's case, he cheated on his wife...a private matter which they appear to have resolved, certainly none of our business!
