I don’t care what anyone says about Kobe. He seems like a loving father and I bet fatherhood has had a profoundly positive impact on his life (and his game). I wish him and his family the best!

I know you won’t publish this comment and that’s okay, but I wanted to let you know that I really wish you would not post about this guy. Whether he is a rapist or just an adulterer is up for debate, but he is certainly a creep, and it makes me sick to see his face. Just my 2 cents. Thanks.

Cute girls!
Are those big flower bands in at this time? I seem to see a lot of little girls wearing them. I think they are cute…but I don’t know how they would look on my daughter since she has a small head…

Not a Kobe fan (apart from b-ball) and it has more to do with his overall personality and not so much his indiscretions. That said, I believe he genuinely was terrified of losing his wife and daughter over his bad judgement, and I believe he’s genuinely committed to his family. I don’t like him much, but I’ve observed him up close and the guy loves his wife and daughters something fierce.
