[Kathianne]

Seems Kobe Bryant gave a very 'proud to be American' interview, unlike Michelle:

Seems it would be natural with Mike Krzyzewski as his coach:

Bugger all that - our Boomers are up against the US in the quarters.

And they were going pretty well.

Damnit

<--- this is for you Kobe (although he's a good sport )

[Psychoblues]

Kobe is a professional, not an Olympian in the strictest sense of the word. He is also an unjustly exonerated criminal and the record clearly demonstrates the truth of that. Kobe is also an antisocial and holier than thou punk that just needs a good ass whipping.

Maybe not all that objective, but my thoughts on Kobe.

Kobe is a piece of shit and a very poor example for our children to attempt emulation.
