Kobe who?
I really hate Kobe Bryant. Sure, this is a forum for Longhorns sports, but from time to time other stories deserve note. Kobe’s in the news again, once more for off the court issues that involve his wife. After recently calling out teammate Karl Malone for not wanting to play for the Lakers, Kobe has now taken the discourse below the belt and accused Malone of making a pass at his wife.
One can only presume that Kobe was trying to make Malone look like the bad guy, but in bringing that issue into the public spotlight, Kobe comes out looking like the spoiled whining prima donna that he is. First of all, no one cares if Malone hit on Kobe’s wife. Second, why bring it up with the general public? There are some issues that you deal with privately, out of the public, man to man. Kobe’s decision to drag this through the mud in the public sphere just reflects his immaturity and egomania. There was a time not so long ago when you had to consider seriously whether this young man could equal or surpass Michael Jordan. Not any more. The more pertinent question these days might be: why does Kobe think we care?
