He was an adulterer

you could say that about A LOT of pro athletes, politicians, clergymen, etc... to act like he's alone in that distinction is non-sensical...

quote:

accused rapist

by someone who had multiple guys' semen inside her at the time of the alleged "rape"... and i say that as someone who didn't like Kobe as a player, or a person, at the time of all of this, and for quite a while after, so i'm not a lifelong fan of his or anything...

true

meaningless. The accuser was a gold-digging slut. Baseless accusations don't mean anything. Many men and women have died as heros under bogus accusations.

do you think you can find one single NBA legend who wasn't an adulterer?

Jerry West is irrelevant?

Yeah, 10X all-NBA 1st team, 14X All-Star, NBA champion, 8X NBA champion as executive.

Voted one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history.

Co-Captain of the 1960 USA Gold Medal Olympic squad.

Final Four MVP

Only player to win NBA Finals MVP in a losing effort.

Record highest scoring avg. in a Finals series that still stands 46.3 points per game.

(Top 10 in Bill Simmons Pyramid of greatest players of all-time.)

He says he doesn't want to be the logo maybe because he's humble as hell and deflects any of his accomplishments.

Sort of the perfect guy then for the logo.

Do people really believe Kobe is a rapist based on the claims of someone that refused to testify and had multiple guys semen in her? Dude cheated on his wife when he was 24. By all accounts he grew up and became one hell of a father and family man.

I'm pretty sure if the logo was ever changed, it would become Jordan's jumpman logo. Although Kobe wouldn't be bad either.

Fyi I don't think the logo will ever change fwiw

The new logo could show Kobe missing a shot, which he did more than anyone in NBA history.

This should not happen. No offense to Kobe or any other player, but they should not do this.

You should spend more time learning about the NBA, which was around a long time before 1996.

Why? He’s not Jackie Robinson.

He was a great player and that’s it. A lot of people have had a lot of revisionist history since about 1:30 yesterday.

I wouldn’t be opposed for the sole reason that Jerry West would be okay with it since they were so close. Any other person and I’d say no.

Jordans logo is bigger than the NBAs logo, that will likely never change
