shaq is going any place he wants. his career has, maybe three years. i see no point in any team paying him, unless they are damn certain he will bring them an instant championship.
kobe is a dilemma. forgetting for a moment his inability to get along with anyone, his team mates, his coach, his family, who didn't go to his wedding, and he had to pay his wife a ring worth four million bucks to apologize for his indescretion.
the likely hood of thier being a trail is pretty minimal. he has a team of lawyers that has scared the da off. the da is running for reelection and doesn't wan't to lose a case of this magnitude, which means he doesn't think it's a slam dunk.
i suspect the girl in question will back off, when they read her text messages. without knowing who said what to who that night, when a woman puts on dirty underwear, with seman stains from two people, neither one being kobe, and goes to report kobe raped, is beyond stupid.
i would suggest the word skank, fits her. i can't visualize some one that busy with her sex life saying no to the big star kobe.
so far kobe has been offered the keys to the kingdom, by the clippers, 7 year at 20 million + a year, his choice of coach, and probably his choice of teamates.
i don't think his performance exceeds his ego, but he alone as a star can't beat a team of 5 players working together as evidenced by the laker's fiasco last season. even bix needed good back up muscians.
the dodgers left brooklyn in 1957, gretzky retired, the rams dumped warner in favor of a quarterback that even the coach didn't trust to win, serena gets clobbered by a youngster who is still a sr in high school, and the lakers are probably out of it for a long time.
buss will probably sell the team, he is not going to games to see his teams lose. he might even start dating women over 21.
poor jack, no need to sit center court anymore. time to find a new hobby.
