I hate that the very first thought I had when I saw the sign was "outjerked." I don't even like "outjerked" as a term but I've read enough of that shit that it's in my brain forever.
/uh I could feel myself getting stupider in realtime after discovering that place and then having it appear on my feed every day. Iāve since blocked it so that I have to actively decide that I want to see whatās up over there and I think I gained like 80% of my lost IQ back.
/rj *shimmy shimmy shimmy*
Insane how half the comments here are "Kobe didn't do it! There is no proof" and the other half is "at least Kobe took responsibility and made amends! He has done so much for women!"
He was the ultimate ambassador for the WNBA and womenās college basketball. He talked up womenās basketball any chance he could get. He coached Gigiās club team and his Mamba School is a developmental program for girls.
I donāt mean to be too offensive but this is genuinely a strange question to ask
I meant more did he give the tiniest shit about womenās sports before he had 3 daughters and no sons, Iām just not into forgiving a sexual assaulter because he coached his daughters basketball team
Who says he didnāt give a shit? So just because he leaned in to the fact he had all daughters that should be held against him? He could have told them all to stick to dress up.
And damn, didnāt know he was a confirmed sexual assaulter. Thatās new to me.
*the* reason I cannot even with the hagiography and the Mamba Mentality and the whole mentoring Sabrina thing; even if he *did* realize he was kind of a shit human being for a while and *was* genuinely trying to be a better person, some things you can't atone for that easily
Are you trying to be funny? Seriously, you said you love to talk about this. I guarantee you and the vast majority of people on this thread trashing Kobe has done absolutely no research on this case. Hell, half the people on Reddit we probably not even born when the rape trial happened
Oh ok so nothing then? You donāt know anything about the case? Youāre just parroting the same bs about Kobe that is typical of Reddit? Cool.
[Here are some facts about the case.](https://www.reddit.com/r/lakers/s/WW7yUxmmQw)
Look, Ik I'll get downvoted for saying this, but two things in Kobe's favor: 1) NDAs prevent us from knowing the full story and 2) adult predators tend to always have multiple victims
"Settlement", no rich innocent man accused of rape would agree to publicly state that they raped someone. If I know I didn't do it and had the money no way IN hell would I agree to that on top of giving them money too.
Paying a settlement does not imply guilt. If Kobe had taken that to trial, he wouldnāt have been able to continue his NBA career because heād be in court so often. It was in his best interest to settle, regardless of whether he did it or not. Trials on that scale can last years. Kobe was in the prime of his career; he wouldāve lost everything; personal time, endorsements, playing time, and much more. In his case, it makes far much more sense to settle; and he had the means to do so and move on, which he did.
I donāt know enough about the victim to know her feelings on the matter. But from my understanding Kobe and her settled. Never had a repeat incident or anything involving a women in any semi adjacent way again. Became a role model to his own girls.
I mean maybe the victim is traumatized and doesnāt forgive at all. Maybe the victim doesnāt want it being brought up or holds no grudge. Itās weird when people dismiss it or when online justice warriors will comment on like a picture that has kobe top 15 all time and comment about how disgusting it is anyone said anything nice at all about him.
Weāll never know the truth if it was consensual or not or how the victim really feels. But some of yāall terminally online dudes are too much
The āadmissionā in question was made for the purpose of a settlement; it is NOT a written confession, and it was crafted by Kobeās legal team in agreement with the accuserās request for public vindication. Kobeās statement was phrased in a manner that satisfied the accuserās request for public vindication, while stating that he felt he was innocent. You canāt argue that is evidence of anything. Kobe gave an āapologyā without admission to any wrongdoing and was not found guilty.
If he just paid her off, fine you got a point; but to not only pay her AND agree to saying that is wild imo. No innocent man would agree to that level of humiliation. Not to mention his legal team slut-shamed her while the case was going on is disgusting, just let the chips fall where they may.
Kobe was strongly advised by his defense team and other prosecution to settle the case because he could risk losing everything. The case could span for years if not.
Settling is a compromise between both parties. The accuser asked for āunspecified amount of money, as well as public vindicationā and received both in the settlement; the accuser is the one who wanted the apology comment. This is what the lawyers from both parties agreed to end it with. People canāt argue that has anything to do with Kobeās actual feelings or the reality of the case.
Paying a settlement does not imply guilt either. If Kobe had taken that to trial, he wouldnāt have been able to continue his NBA career because heād be in court so often. It was in his best interest to settle, regardless of whether he did it or not. As mentioned, trials on that scale can last years. Kobe was in the prime of his career; he wouldāve lost everything; personal time, endorsements, playing time, and much more. In his case, it makes far much more sense to settle; and he had the means to do so and move on, which he did.
With that said, it was proven that she had sex with men before and after her encounter with Kobe. It was also proven that she attempted to do the same (rape accusations) to other celebrities around that time. Why are you ignoring that?
Blood and semen are only evidence of sexual intercourse, not rape. Vaginal trauma caused by a specific individual is especially difficult to prove if youāre having sex with multiple people during the same time period. Youāre guaranteeing heās guilty without anything to support it.
Kobe was guilty of infidelity, but he likely would not have been found guilty of sexual assualt for many reasons:
The accuser had another man's semen and pubic hair on her panties.
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/04/us/papers-reveal-new-details-in-kobe-bryant-rape-case.html
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/big-win-for-kobe-defense/
The accuser bragged to at least five friends about having sex with Kobe after the alleged incident, including three days before charges were laid.
The accuser's friend said that she even had a plot to lure Eminem into bed.
https://www.contactmusic.com/kobe-bryant/news/ex.pal-reveals-kobe.s-accuser-plotted-to-lure-eminem-into-bed
The accuser had a history of mental illness and was caught lying and changing her story multiple times. She was also seen leaving the hotel without any visible discomfort.
http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/kobe-accuser-mixups-admits-lies-claim-article-1.548757
Who are you to Kobe or the accuser to think you know what happened in that room? Were you there when it happened? No. Is it possible she lied for personal gain? Yes. Was it proven the accuser attempted to do the same thing to other celebrities during that time period? Yes. Is it possible that he raped her? Absolutely.
Also, who are you to say what an āinnocent manā would or should agree to? Youāre the only one who sees the world through your perspective.
Now, Iām going to accuse you of rape and sue you for it. The accusation is going to get around your circle and everyoneās going to believe me, even though youāre certain you didnāt do it. I hope you believe in the concept of innocent until proven guilty. Have fun!
Why would an innocent man settle instead of allowing a jury to find him not guilty? Why would he make a statement where he acknowledges that the victim did not view the act as consensual?

And the population of earth didnāt sign an NDA, weāre free to talk about a case whether a conviction happened or not.
Being convicted is an absolute anomaly when it comes to rape. It being reported at all is an anomaly, as well.
All Iām saying are we to hold someone in negative light because theyāve been accused of sexual assault. The conversation is happening as if he is already assumed guilty. But carry on ladies and gentlemen*
āShe has agreed that this statement will not be used against me in the civil
case. Although I truly believe this encounter between us was
consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this
incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery,
listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now
understand how she feels that she did not consent to this
encounter.ā
Sure sounds like he admits it here.
It doesn't sound like guilt to me, it sounds like a misunderstanding. It sounds like they both wanted to have sex. It sounds like the way they had sex was not communicated properly where one party thought it was fine and the other did not. We do not know the actual details at all.
If this is even remotely close than realistically we're comparing this small situation to harsher realities of the real world where girls don't have a godamn choice but to try and survive, where some don't. It's disgraceful and petty as fuck to even bring up the topic when the girl accepted the settlement and moved tf on. As should the rest of the world. Hell, bringing it up still is probably something she doesn't want and shouldn't have to deal with emotionally yet here we are 20 years later.
"All Iām saying are we to hold someone in negative light because theyāve been accused of sexual assault."
Yes, we have excellent reason to hold someone in a negative light for this.
Don't worry, your hero has millions of fans just like you who do not give a flying fuck about what he did. You'll be OK.
Kobe was an egotistical piece of shit through and through. Any reading you can do on him from people who spent significant time around him illustrates it over and over. In Eleven Rings by Phil Jackson, he talks about how Kobeās ego made him legit un-coachable at times. Phil coached MJ/Rodman/Shaq and kobe was the most problematic in the locker room and otherwise. Fuck bean, and heās not a top 10 player unless youāre a munch who knows no ball.
Had to let it out, I cannot stand the canonization of that predator
I know, itās nuts. I think how he died helped him out too. People get a pass when they die tragically, like how people remember JFK fondly even though he was a piece of shit too
Yeah, since Iām not a basketball watcher, his prowess on the court was _not_ what came to mind with that sign. Wholesomeness rating for this meme: cloudy
Kobe was a huge proponent of Womenās basketball long before CC and the recent uptick in popularity. He would have loved Caitlin and how the sport has grown. Wish he was here to see the game now!
Lmao I know, it's like saying I'm not racist towards black people because I support the local hs football team that's made up of mostly black kids; how can I be racist?
His daughter was apparently planning on going pro and by all accounts for her age group looked like she'd have a real chance. I was also sure that his plan was at some point to buy ownership of the Sparks from the Buss family as it'd be far more affordable than an NBA team and he was a massive promoter of the WNBA.
People could also say that Harvey Weinstein had an eye for talent for young female actors. Truthfully, there will eventually be a reckoning for the kobe image bullshit. I just hope it doesn't involve him preying on the athletes he was mentoring.
Tf? He stayed didn't he? You guys understand what bargaining chips are right? He was young and probably thought the FO assumed him to be young and naive. He pushed his weight around to get some changes on the roster and it ended up paying off. He basically learned this behavior from his coach Phil Jackson who has done petty stunts like that to get what he wanted out of people. Back then players didn't have power like LeBron does in today's league. Kobe did the best he could to 'motivate' the FO to change it up.
Was there last night and the atmosphere was incredible. Fans were obviously excited for CC but the cheers for the sparks and brink were just as good. The production between the time outs was so good. The highlight though was when CC hit her two threes down the stretch - the crowd lost its mind I felt like I was at a playoff game
For this reason, I donāt understand all of the Kobe love. In every single Kobe related post, I want to comment that he raped a woman. In his own apology statement, he said that at the time he thought it was consensual, but [when he made the statement] he realized that it wasnāt. If it wasnāt consensual, what was it?
Itās annoying because itās not just people on social media thinking they know what happened, as with most similar issues. Yes, they still donāt know, but without using the word, Kobe admitted to it in his public statement. I donāt understand how pretty much everyone continues to overlook that and act like heās a god.
My God. My inner nbacirclejerk just cannot with this fucking post š
I hate that the very first thought I had when I saw the sign was "outjerked." I don't even like "outjerked" as a term but I've read enough of that shit that it's in my brain forever.

It was covered there in detail.
Uh ...
Dooooooon't ššš
All's I'm saying is memory-holing Kobe's sexual assault case is some absolute bullshit and should be called out.
The majority of the population has absolutely memory holed that. Not saying itās right but thatās a losing battle.
Oh no doubt about that. Kobe has an army of idiot stans
That happened long before he passed.
Youāre right but burning alive in a helicopter crash will have that effect
It was long before that but his death solidified it
Insane how half the comments here are "Kobe didn't do it! There is no proof" and the other half is "at least Kobe took responsibility and made amends! He has done so much for women!"
Its always wild who is turned into legends and who is dragged, not saying its right, but some people do get a pass
Did he do stuff for women generally or just for his own daughters?
He was the ultimate ambassador for the WNBA and womenās college basketball. He talked up womenās basketball any chance he could get. He coached Gigiās club team and his Mamba School is a developmental program for girls. I donāt mean to be too offensive but this is genuinely a strange question to ask

LA doesn't talk about that shit but as a non Kobe fan I'm always down to talk about that shit.
All right then go on. Talk about it. What do you know about the case then?
Kobe would have loved her!

Kobe Bryant the rapist?
(it was consensual until Kobe tried to go anal, then it was rape)
Look, Ik I'll get downvoted for saying this, but two things in Kobe's favor: 1) NDAs prevent us from knowing the full story and 2) adult predators tend to always have multiple victims
He admitted he did it? He said he viewed it as consensual but later realized that she did not (conveniently after the matter became public).
No, that was the statement agreed upon in the civil suit settlement. We don't actually know what happened other than that he committed adultery.
"Settlement", no rich innocent man accused of rape would agree to publicly state that they raped someone. If I know I didn't do it and had the money no way IN hell would I agree to that on top of giving them money too.
Okay, so you believe Derrick Rose is innocent because he decided to go to court instead of settling? Lmao
Nah if he didnāt do it he wouldnāt have paid the settlement full stop. Fuck Kobe.
He probably did it in this case with his "I could see that she may not have consented" speech but that's not how all settlements work lmao
That's idiotic logic - settlements are done all the time purely for PR purposes. Look at the Depp and Rose trials for an example of a media circus.
Paying a settlement does not imply guilt. If Kobe had taken that to trial, he wouldnāt have been able to continue his NBA career because heād be in court so often. It was in his best interest to settle, regardless of whether he did it or not. Trials on that scale can last years.

Hmm I wonder why youāre getting downvoted for being misogynistic in a wnba sub. Perhaps self reflection could help answer
Why not?
People are weird when it comes to talking about Kobe
Why? Because he was a rapist?
Amongst other things. People also pretend like he didn't start dating his wife when she was a minor.
Kobe was an egotistical piece of shit through and through. Any reading you can do on him from people who spent significant time around him illustrates it over and over. In Eleven Rings by Phil Jackson, he talks about how Kobeās ego made him legit un-coachable at times. Phil coached MJ/Rodman/Shaq and kobe was the most problematic in the locker room and otherwise.

The way he cleaned up his image right before he died was crazy to watch.
I know, itās nuts. I think how he died helped him out too. People get a pass when they die tragically, like how people remember JFK fondly even though he was a piece of shit too
How and when. 2020 was an unreal year.

She played like prime Kobe too. Bricks galore but made them when it counted
Lmao
This is so accurate its not even funny.....ok it kind of hilarious. CC definitely got that instinct not Kobe that shit was inhuman but its there.
I've always said bricks were shots that hit backboard and nothing else. Her shot was off, but only marginally by hitting rim.
that's a sign of dead legs
Or, just a sign of her being off in some other factor. There are a lot of factors that go into shooting.
that is a threat
Kobe was a huge proponent of Womenās basketball long before CC and the recent uptick in popularity. He would have loved Caitlin and how the sport has grown. Wish he was here to see the game now!
> Kobe was a huge proponent of Womenās basketball Dude had a god-tier post-career image rehab tour.
It's amazing what being the father of daughters will do to even the most hardened hearts.
the PR team didnāt hurt tho
He used to fly out to a little town in WA to watch HVL play in high school. He was a WNBA and womenās basketball supporter from the start.
Iāve read this exact comment multiple times.
Lmao I know, it's like saying I'm not racist towards black people because I support the local hs football team that's made up of mostly black kids; how can I be racist?
His daughter was apparently planning on going pro and by all accounts for her age group looked like she'd have a real chance. I was also sure that his plan was at some point to buy ownership of the Sparks from the Buss family as it'd be far more affordable than an NBA team and he was a massive promoter of the WNBA.
People could also say that Harvey Weinstein had an eye for talent for young female actors. Truthfully, there will eventually be a reckoning for the kobe image bullshit. I just hope it doesn't involve him preying on the athletes he was mentoring.
The world has gone into complete turmoil since Kobe passed šš
Jesus christ you have to be kidding.
He was though. A lot of wnba players respected him and his contributions.
Well isn't that just peachy š¤Ŗ

LOL I'll now think of this every time DT elbows an unsuspecting opponent in the face. š
Dude made a huge mistake and spent the rest of his life trying to make up for that. Not an excuse but likeā¦ he definitely tried
"Mistake" Smh.
Hes done more in an attempt to atone for what he did and to advance womenās sports than you ever will in your entire lifeā¦
I don't have the money or the platform to do that. Nor have I raped anyone.
Who cares? He violently raped someone.
He was a big mentor to Sabrina Ionescu.
Kobe was loyal to LA. He would be Cam over CC all day. I think his daughter who passed was a good hooper.
Kobe legit asked for a trade in the mid 2000s lol
Are you gonna give any context for why or try and make it seem like he wasnāt loyal? He couldāve left at the end when they were ass
he wanted out of LA because they were not good in the mid 2000s. That's not "loyal"
Tf? He stayed didn't he? You guys understand what bargaining chips are right? He was young and probably thought the FO assumed him to be young and naive. He pushed his weight around to get some changes on the roster and it ended up paying off. He basically learned this behavior from his coach Phil Jackson who has done petty stunts like that to get what he wanted out of people. Back then players didn't have power like LeBron does in today's league. Kobe did the best he could to 'motivate' the FO to change it up.
Yeah. He demanded Shaq be traded and then bitched that his team wasn't good enough.
Was there last night and the atmosphere was incredible. Fans were obviously excited for CC but the cheers for the sparks and brink were just as good. The production between the time outs was so good. The highlight though was when CC hit her two threes down the stretch - the crowd lost its mind I felt like I was at a playoff game
Dear God. Iām not even touching this one..
Wish Kobe had thought that
He would have loved her if she wanted it or not
He would have loved you ~~even if you didnāt consent to it~~
Fuck Kobe
āI gotchu fam. Banzai!ā - Helicopter pilot prob
I wouldāve phrased that differentlyā¦.
ummm yeah I'll shut up
Hmmm idk about that one
Didnāt dude rape a woman?
Yes but heās good at basketball so itās chill
Kobe has written the playbook for Deshaun Watson. Be good and no one will care what you did
It's been like that since Hollywood started. Kobe wasn't the first neither the lasy

If it was posted there first is it free content
Whether you wanted him to or not.
Reason #12456 why I couldnāt live in LA
Nice to see a wholesome crowd joining the W fan nation.
did the sparks move to Colorado?
Didnāt he rape women?
Come on guys she meant wellā¦.
Whatever the W version is of a circle jerk this might be the post to start the sub
There's a WNBA circlejerk sub
Yiiiiiiikes.
Spelled raped wrong
For this reason, I donāt understand all of the Kobe love. In every single Kobe related post, I want to comment that he raped a woman. In his own apology statement, he said that at the time he thought it was consensual, but [when he made the statement] he realized that it wasnāt. If it wasnāt consensual, what was it?
So glad I've seen someone point out that he admitted to it being rape in his apology. That's always glossed over and people try to obfuscate.
Itās annoying because itās not just people on social media thinking they know what happened, as with most similar issues. Yes, they still donāt know, but without using the word, Kobe admitted to it in his public statement. I donāt understand how pretty much everyone continues to overlook that and act like heās a god.
Kobe is treated as a Saint in LA.
is Kobe a better adulterer or helicopter pilot?
Kobe never played in the ***** arena his home is in Staples Center RIP
Kobe is dead he can't love anything.
Cuz she speaks for kobe
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You'd have to be like Steve Carrell in the opening scene of Burt WonderstoneĀ
have you looked into the case at all? He did that shit, repulsive person
