he called him a Fu**ing f**got
Holy cow!! I would owe $1MM a day driving the beltway. All those f...ahhh, ummm, I mean idiots that need to be shot.
Unless David Stern is an expert at lip reading, I just can't see how they can fine Kobe for words that there is no concrete evidence for having been said.
i wonder if the ref was actually gay
Awww.....some poor twinkie got his panties in a bunch...awww....
Hey Kobe, don't stand for it...freedom of speech trumps the NBA!
Like I said all along they could have solved this a lot easier if the ref just turned around and called him a n*gger since no one cares about words. Right?
NO! Not Kobe! (Yes, I'm being sarcastic) Really, raise your hand if you're shocked. Anyone?
So, I guess he gets no slack for alliteration in his stupid, salacious slur. Pure class, Kobe. A five-diamond life with a cubic zirconium mouth.
Who gives a rats butt what he said!
Pretty sure he was fined because he "disrespected" the official. Not as much for the comment itself. I guess your not supposed to slap them either. No matter HOW much they deserve it.
The fine is about as much as he makes in 2-3 minutes on the court.
Well, at least it was some what of a fine, not the normal 25,000 dollar fine, but it's still a pathetic amount.
For all of you making negative comments about Kobe being ghetto ect., you're just mad because you have several degrees and still paying back student loans and he makes more in one game than you will make in 10 years LOL. He shouldn't have said what he said because it was stupid but by all means stop HATING because he's richer than you'll ever be, even if you win the lottery š
So being rich is the make of a man? Grow up.
you are such an uneducated idiot.
You little sissy .... I bet you would clean his dirty skivvies wouldn't you?
In the immortal words of LL Cool J – "Man makes the money. Money doesn't make the man."
OH and being rich means we should ignore his ignorance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont think sooooooo
Yes, so angry that an ignorant, uneducated nobody has too much money.
Or, could it possibly be, that it is more along the lines that our society raises idiots like this guy up onto a pedestal for doing absolutely nothing of real value, and making the person look like he is worth even the air he breathes?
Money isn't everything, and people who think it is don't have a clue.
Professional athletes are only rich because of all the fools stupid enough to spend time and money watching them instead of doing something productive and beneficial.
I presume you are including yourself in the list of those who are poorer than "HE"?
Your tirade sounded pretty a$$-ki$$ing to me...
So money makes a person? Interesting. Raping women in Colorado makes a man then? Go get an education, it does a body good.
Lightdust777- That was retarded. At-least provide a comeback with more of an intellectual dialogue! Kobe is overrated!
THANK YOU!!! LMAO I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY!!
He's a GHetto Pawn for the REAL money makers (owners and networks)
for those of you calling Kobe uneducated. You should probably do your research before you make yourself look like an idiot. He more educated then most NBA owners and the idiot who fined him $100,000..How much did Kevin Garnett get fined for calling a player a cancer patient...thats right not a dime
There is way more to life than money. That is not the issue.
H*tler was rich too.
You tell 'em lightdust!! leave Kobe alone he's my favorite rapist!! and my 3rd favorite athlete, so just let him do his thing!
That's retarded.
hltler played basketball too
it's etc (for etcetera) ya dork
like the n-bomb, we have to come to accept that the f-slur is an unacceptable word. If it was a white player that used the N Word the player would be suspended and possible kicked off the team, for good reason of course!
This is how people are, they say what they want, and whenever, but as roll models we have to be careful of what we say, we have to respect the people who look upon us, control our tongue because thats what defiles us, so bredren, dont tel people about money and who richer than who because as human beings we are nothing, we are just for a moment, and when we die, there will be no Brinks truck to be sending on any money with us so dont back KOBI in his wrongs. Therefore what is your claim to fame from that statement.
You really can't be that ignorant, right? I mean, you're not intellectually slower than most, are you? People hate on Kobe because he's a bad person with weak character. He's a horrible role model for children and adults alike. Biggot is just added to adulterer and damn near child molester. Money doesn't matter to everyone. Just the shallow and sad.
We don't need no edumacation
I can't believe I just spent the last 15 minutes reading all these dumb comments.....I'm the one who should be fined!
Brilliant! I was just thinking the same thing...
I agree Bob!!!!
I couldn't agree more!
LOL. I agree with you!
Well played Bob!
Kobe is like "I wipe my butt with 100k."
Not today he doesn't..Not with that 100k...HAHAHAHAHAHA
Stay classy, LA.
this is only the one that got caught"' Disrespect"' is gone"' very Sad
