I caught Kobe Bryant's press conference yesterday. Having seen his wife for the first time, I'd say that Kobe is the luckiest man this side of Grant Hill (who is married to Tamia).
Kobe's wife is drop-dead/ you can't be serious/let me thank yo momma and daddy/ damn you make me feel ugly when I'm around you -GORGEOUS. Some of my female friends agreed with me but asked "Why would he fool around when he had her?" I told them that the answer is in the question itself... he did it because "he had her". Kobe's adulterous behavior (not the sexual assault, that remains to be seen) is foolish but not surprising. He's a huge star, he has lots of money, and he probably feels a sense of entitlement that we the public, almost always believe athletes deserve. Also, in a broader sense, no matter how fine a woman is some men will just cheat on them or leave them because they grow bored and would rather chase the fantasy of the next woman. Bad for them, good for us single fellas! Somewhere out there some dumbass guy is letting a good woman slip through his hands without realizing it. Chances are she'll quickly be swooped up by some guy who let a good woman go before and will be determined not to let it happen again. In the end you figure that dumbass guy probably didn't deserve her anyway. And if he did... too fucking bad and sometimes too fucking late. Maybe he'll learn from it next time. And so it goes...
