What do I think of Kobe? Hmm, well I think he's an overpaid athlete just like most pro athletes. Alot more people, especially children, are starving or undereducated. They wear ragged clothes and are malnourished. I really don't like watching sports just to pay the atheletes when I can instead be spending my money for those in real need of money. I am not a athlete worshipper. I admire those who are in the service professions, helping those who need help. Athletes?! Bah! As far as Kobe's problems, I don't know if he did rape her, but I really feel sorry for his wife. What the hell was he thinking? Adultery. Cheating on his wife. No I don't feel sorry for him. Maybe this will deflate his pompous ego down to earth.
So you're blaming him for being way better than most other players, and that therefore the clubowner is willing to pay him a big fat salary ? And that large companies are willing to give him millions in endorsements if he wears their stuff, or drinks their stuff ?

Is it his fault that children in Africa have nothing to eat, or only have rags to wear ?

For your information, Kobe makes millions a year, but he is also spending tons on charity. So your comment isn't really fair, don't you think ?
