Before MJ and LeBron started taking over the market on NBA endorsements, Kobe Bryant was the NBA's golden child of marketing.

I cant beleive that all the big companies are not all over this guy. I mean isnt that who all parents want their children to look up to?
Whoever wrote comment number 1 is an absolute *genius*. Whoever thinks a self-absorbed, dirty, ball-hogging rapist deserves to be called the league's "most valuable player" is indicative of how low this league and some of its fans have fallen.
