Kobe Bryant Discusses Miami Heat’s Support For Trayvon Martin

Lol Kobe is such an attention whore. Worse than T. Owens.

Kobe isn't down for the cause I guess.

Good for Kobe. He gets it.

Looks like Kobe is an Uncle Tom CAC lover.

Why is he coming out with this now?

He was asked for his opinion on it.

Great quote:

quote:

---

I won’t react to something just because I’m supposed to, because I’m an African-American,” he said. “That argument doesn’t make any sense to me. So we want to advance as a society and a culture, but, say, if something happens to an African-American we immediately come to his defense? Yet you want to talk about how far we’ve progressed as a society? Well, we’ve progressed as a society, then don’t jump to somebody’s defense just because they’re African-American. You sit and you listen to the facts just like you would in any other situation, right? So I won’t assert myself.”

The profile goes on to quote former NFL running back Jim Brown, who at one point said, “[Kobe] is somewhat confused about culture, because he was brought up in another country.”

Am I the only one who sees the ridiculousness of this line?

Having lived in other countries gives you a better point of reference to put into perspective what is happening in this country.

No interview nowadays beats a Kobe intervivew.

Say what you want about Kobe, and there is a lot of negative that can be said, but the dude is very, very smart.

This is why Kobe is the GOAT.
