More bad PR looming for Kobe?

    I think when you reach to a certain level on the professional stage, it seems that players don't care about negative PR -- not that it's going through their minds anyway. In a way, I think it's a good thing. Should a person be aware of his or her surroundings no matter what they do or who they are? Yes. But not everyone is a decent person, either.

    There was a lot of talk about the cell phone video which spawned this thread being bogus, but apparently it's legit:

    The guy just can't get out of his own way.

    Big Game, in relation to Rokski, hit the red button. Just don't talk about it. It's worked for many of us who don't want to read certain people.

    But, it's like a train wreck. I can't friggin look away. Haha. I made a vow that I wasn't going to ignore anyone, but maybe you're right. I'll just try to sit quietly and watch the carnage from afar. Thanks for the advice, Doc.

    Rok - what are you trying to make us all think with all your reports on bad PR for Kobe? That he's a low-class individual? He proved that once off the court already. But a conversation with some teenagers is not news... it's 'off the record' and makes no difference at the end of the day.

    If you think that he is going to suffer because of his attitude, you're wrong... Even if L.A. does want to dish him, someone will be more than happy to take him because of his talent. Look at T.O., and the NBA has a much thinner pool of talent than the NFL.

    Apparently there are both video and audio recordings. And on the audio recording he tells the two males that they ought to purchase Chicago Bulls uniforms:

    It would appear Kobe has his mind made up. Well, until the next radio interview. Or the next...
