I mean you’re right his brand isn’t going to be like James or Jordan. I don’t blame her for trying to get big bucks but gold digging whore is a bit much

As far as the actual shoes, Kobe's blow Lebron's out of the water. No comparison.

You might be right. I can see that CULTCHA idolizing a SCUMBAG who got away with raping a white girl.

See, e.g., O.J.

The press conference after he was CREDIBLY accused of Rape and she agreed to stick by her man --





According to him, the adultery was consensual.

She didn't leave Kobe when he was busted cheating (obviously not a one time thing) because he bought her a gazillion dollar ring.

She is suing the family of the helicopter pilot, because of what? She needs more money? She doesn't have enough and wants to bankrupt the pilot's family?

Now, Nike isn't giving her enough money for a shoe deal for her husband's legacy?


I think the above description fits.

Nike, sources said, had presented an extension offer that was not in line with expectations of an ongoing "lifetime" structure similar to the Nike Inc. contracts held by both Michael Jordan and LeBron James.


how does a lifetime contract work when he's already dead?

She could just be really stupid and emotional as opposed to a whore

That chick had like three guys' jizz in her panties. Now, that doesn't mean he didn't rape her, but I think it does hurt her credibility a tad.

It's pretty well known at this point that she was willing to f*ck him and she went up to his room for that purpose. BUT, because of pregnancy and disease fears, he only wanted to do anal and she was adamant about NOT doing anal. He flipped her over anyway and did anal. THAT is RAPE.

I get what you’re trying to imply, but the sneaker culture population is overwhelmingly white so try again

His line was extremely popular and interest went through the roof after he died. That is worth a ton of value for at least the next decade IMO


I'm sure they probably offered a 5-10 year deal to keep that going. The idea that Kobe's shoes will be like Jordans and warrant a lifetime (whose lifetime?) contract is silly. Nike was smart not to commit to that.

Depends on if they can still re-release his older shoes. The money is in the retros.

If Kobe is dead, how can he design a shoe? The Bryants oughta take the money and run.
