Kobe is guilty of having an affair, period! Unfortunately, for he and his wife he got caught. OMG! He that is without sin cast the first stone! If I were Kobe I’d tell Sony, Coke, Sprite, and Mc Donalds to kiss my lily white ass! (or in Kobe’s case black)

Very surprised to see folks dipping their toe in the Kobe pool as far as advertising. One of the greatest to ever play the game, he still has enough baggage that schlepping a product for someone has to be a bit of a double-edged sword, good news-bad news situation. You’d think as many folks would shy away from whatever he’s hawking as would be inclined to check it out. And “fair-weather advertiser” is certainly a legit phrase in this instance. Geez, less than a year ago he was throwing his team under the bus and backing over them…not to mention the whole ugly he said-she said, the verbal sparring with the popular Shaq Daddy, etc.
