25 million dollars

Will Kobe's last 2 year contract deal... go down as the worst contract in all of sports?

Wasn't it around 47 million for 2 years? A lot of damn money with ZERO PERFORMANCE.

Ryan Leaf by Chargers still worse

[Statman]

Lakers did Kobe a favour and provided a nice going away present...

That was pretty bad too. Don't remember the terms.

Man... 25 million dollars can practically buy you a decent team for a year.

At least buy you 4-5 good players.

Um, lakers made a crap ton more money off him than ever paid him. It's the least they could do. The very least.

WHat? Sabotage two years? Stupid contract. Needless. He was good for them, and they were good for him, no extra thank yous needed.

[seaborneq]

He will probably play better now. No added pressure of coming back or shots going in. Kobe went from Black Mamba to Black Garden Snake real fast

[King Mayan]

Play better without him means little now. You have a possible top 3 pick on the line.

Good riddance to the piece of sh*t. One less rapist in the NBA.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_B...l_assault_case


"The Kobe Bryant sexual assault case began in July 2003 when the news media reported that the sheriff's office in Eagle, Colorado had arrested professional basketball player Kobe Bryant in connection with an investigation of a sexual assault complaint filed by a 19-year-old hotel employee. Bryant had checked into The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera, a hotel in Edwards, Colorado, on June 30 in advance of having surgery near there on July 2 under Dr. Richard Steadman. The woman accused Bryant of raping her in his hotel room on July 1, the night before the surgery. Bryant admitted to an adulterous sexual encounter with his accuser, but denied the assault allegation. The case was dropped after Bryant's accuser refused to testify in the case. A separate civil suit was later filed against Bryant by the woman. This was settled out of court and included Bryant's publicly apologizing to his accuser, though admitting no guilt on his part."

yeah I'm sure Kobe a rockstar had to rape some crazy skank that had multiple dudes semien in her at the same time ....she was even bragging about sleeping with Kobe to people.

[gauchojake]

One of the greatest to ever lace 'em up. Thanks for the memories and 5 championships KOBE!

[JIBBBY]

JJ getting into it... Wow he gets rattled finally.. Get'm big dog!!!



Lakers do need to finish with close to the worst record in the league from what I read to get those ping pong balls.. Apparently they have a trade clause depending on their draft pick number.. I forgot the exact details, I think they have to land top 3 then they can keep the lottery pick. Something like that?

Lakers surely do need another 1st or 2nd round draft pick and some serious trade deals to happen next year with the KOBE salary cap free up coming..

Life time Laker fan here and I can't take this losing anymore!! I'm forced to watch the Clippers now and they kinda suck too..

Jim Buss needs to go too and the Jennie Buss era needs to take over.. They do have family legal deal pending and the transfer of Lakers operations will go to Jennie Buss. I read that too.. In a year or 2 if I'm not mistaken?

Jim hill looks like he's going to cry ...this is a big deal here in LA

[kidcudi92]

He sure is, I'm watching him too on TV.. He actually made Kobe sound like a hero and going out the right way with his speech.. I care to differ myself.. He should have gone out 2 years ago and not kill the team and salary cap..
