When has anyone talked about him since but for these rebooted allegations?

People in media had to do their thing, it lasted a day or two and then everyone moved on. For a player of his stature, the future silence has been shocking.

I think God evened up the score for his victim.

Maybe you were in an early stage COVID coma or something but your recollection of his death is pretty much the polar opposite of what happened? Who, in your opinion, gets/got talked about more than Kobe after they died?

It’s definitely a bad look for Kobe but money talks and the victim accepted the money to make it go away

So many of us alphas walk the tightrope of exciting our female conquests and giving what they want versus being accused of assault.

Dying in a helicopter crash doesn’t erase being a POS human being.

Absolutely, some chose to try to sweep it under, but it's been well known since it happened, his legacy has always been complicated because of this and other things honestly.

The crazy thing is the accuser only received an estimated 2.5 million dollar settlement from Bryant. Seems awfully low.

How much does the average rape victim get?

No kidding. They postponed the Clippers/Lakers game so they could plan an entire spectacle pregame tribute. It was the headline on every media outlet, whether they typically covered sports or not. It wasn't just a day or two, it dominated the headlines for 1-2 weeks.

Raped by an athlete with an extremely high net worth and future earnings potential? I don’t know.

Ask MSNBC how much they had to pay for calling him a rapist. He was never convicted of rape, but that doesn’t seem to matter.
