Has any American been able to rehab their image as much as Kobe Bryant?

From the depths during his rape allegations to having people pay $30,000 to see him lace up one last time. From losing all of his sponsors to coming back as the most popular athlete in his sport. His media/public relations/marketing team are geniuses. And that's just here in the US. He's even bigger in China. Amazing.

Considering they were only allegations, and that they had nothing to substantiate them, I never thought he had that tough of a road back.

People are willing to forgive just about anything as long as you do a good job of keeping them entertained.

Yeah, But not as big as Kobe. He's the 5th highest earning athlete. Mike Tyson is largely a side show.

Not sure about any another athlete, but Robert Downey Jr. has done really well for himself.

Most people today have a pretty short term memory. I think there was the initial uproar and then people moved on as they always do. All he had to do was keep his nose clean and be great at basketball which he did.

I think in most of these cases people assume the woman is probably just trying to get a pay day, which the victim did.
