Earlier I discussed just how well Pau Gasol fit into the Lakers' offense in his debut with the team, and it appears that Kobe Bryant is happier than anyone about this. Check out his post-game comments, where he goes all televangelist on us in his excitement over this first game with his new teammate.
As for the finger, Kobe returned to play with the injury, unlike some other superstars we know. As for how it will affect him going forward, I'm sure God will take care of that, too.

1. Unfortunate for that young lady that God wasn't available when Kobe decided to experience her in the hotel room...

2. Kobe understands that a gift came from the skies his name is GASOL and now he has a good chance to redeem himself in and out of Court.

3. Mike: Actually, you're wrong. She prayed to God for a million dollars and she got it, and also a little tickle with Kobe's pickle, too. Not a bad payday if you ask me. I wonder if she gave the usual 10% tip to the Big Guy upstairs afterward.

4. Jesus hanged around with sinners tax collector's and prostitutes.
He is all about second chances and forgiveness for those who are willing to come to Him.
So Why would He not hang around with Kobe?
What God hates are people who think too highly of themselves to the point that they are oblivious of their own skeletons in their closets.

6. Kobe is a gifted player and the only reason he was not charged with rape is that his adoring fans threatened the victims life. Some fans have hero worship to the point of dangerous obsession.

7. Marilyn: Actually, the reason she settled and the city didn't prosecute was because she banged half the Denver Nuggets and Kobe's lawyers were going to call them for both the criminal and civil trials. Apparently she was well known and well liked by many.

8. C, Richard GOT it- she slept with a bunch of other ballplayers so who cares if KOBE (greatest ever) raped her?
