The AP story had this line near the end of the article.
"Bryant was called for an additional technical foul that was rescinded Monday." Huh???????? Can we do that? I guess the NBA has real Monday Morning Quarterbacks. |

The league reviews all technical fouls as it relates to fines and total towards suspension. They do this since 16 technical fouls during the regular season or 7 technical fouls during the playoffs mandate a one game suspension. The technical foul they mentioned in the article was rescinded the next morning.

I read Kobe's apology...not written by Kobe...then I heard him on a radio talk show not really caring at all. He said he was wrong but he was going to appeal the fine...he mentioned the Union appeals all fines and suspensions. Kobe is just plain and simple a "bad" person who is a gifted athlete. From the first day he was drafted out of high school when he told the Hornets he wouldn't play for them I have never liked him...NEVER! Kobe makes $271,000 a game...so what it $100,000 to Kobe?

Unless something has changed, all NBA disciplinary player fines are tax deductible. Charles Barkley was famous for pointing that out when he used to get nailed. The only real discipline imo would be if a player gets suspended for a meaningful number of games. Obviously that ain't ever gonna happen in the NBA to the Kobes of the league.
Imagine what would have happened if the official had said that to Bryant? Hell, he might be out looking up Big Jake to see if he can get hired in college D1. |

What apology? I haven't seen one. All I've read is: "What I said last night should not be taken literally. My actions were out of frustration during the heat of the game, period. The words expressed do NOT reflect my feelings towards the gay and lesbian communities and were NOT meant to offend anyone.” There's no apology in that statement.

I guess there's something wrong with me because I'm a fan of both rap music and the NBA.

I guess that I'm in the minority. I am not a big NBA fan, nor can I wrap my arms around rap. I was a big NBA fan back when I was a young man. Loved watching the Celtics on Sunday afternoons on ABC. Bill Russell was, and still is, one of my favorite athletes. Loved watching the Knicks on local television (WOR-TV Channel 9). Look up teamwork in the dictionary and you'll see a picture of a Knicks team from the late 60's or early 70's. I still have fond memories of Willis Reed limping onto the court to help beat the Lakers in game seven. I somehow lost my love of NBA basketball. It was slightly revived during the Larry Bird/Earvin Johnson era, but that didn't last very long. I'll occasionally watch a Celtic game, when there's absolutely nothing else on television, but that will only be for a few minutes. I have never liked rap (although I will sometimes enjoy the background songs that some rap artists sample). It might have something to do with the fact that I have never, ever, appreciated poetry. It also might have something to do with some of the themes (anti-women, anti-police), and the use of profanity, that seems to be very common in many rap songs. I do like some of the more "tame" stuff that Eminem, or Jay-Z, might perform on Letterman (love it when Dave calls him Marshall) but that's about as far as it goes for me.
