    You guys made me laugh when I heard that Kobe Bryant got fined. A $100000 to him or to any NBA player it's like a $10 fine...

    I've said more offensive things than that. I hope the NBA doesn't fine me. Or find me, for that matter.

    But on the bright side, he won't even feel $100,000. That won't even pay Dez Bryant's jewelry bill.

    Ha! So the great Kobe Bryant can't cut it after all...so sick of hearing about how great the Lakers are; they don't fare so well without Kobe anyway, and he can't always win with his one man show, even if the refs calls mostly DO favor the Lakers. Kobe doesn't compare to Michael Jordan and never will, so quit trying to shove him down our throats already!

    Thanks , I have recently been searching for info about this topic for ages and yours is the best I've discovered so far. But, what in regards to the bottom line? Are you positive concerning the supply?|What i don't realize is actually how you are no longer actually much more well-liked than you might be right now. You are very intelligent.

    Who cares!! Rappers call each other ni**ers in songs and they dont get fined, but if a white person calls a black man a ni**er it is called a hate crime...so stupid...Kobe was just in a mad state so he should be able to say whatever her wants...if a gay person is really offended by that than its just sad, have a little more confidence in yourself. People always make gay slurs and they dont get fined, by doing this to Kobe it is just going to make people say more things like this!

    It could be people are jelous. It is probably that they are just pathetic for caring about this. I mean if you find yourself caring about a guy who plays basketball well, who could care less about you, find a life. Get a job or two,get a hobby, volunteer, something, anything. This ball player worship is almost as sick as idoling the cast of Jersey shore. These ball player laugh at you. They see you as the pathetic groupie that you are.

    Kobe does suck and ct your an idiot. Grow up and realize that money or being in a 'mad state' doesn't give you the right to be rude and disrespectful.
