Just heard a part of Kobe Bryants speech last nite

never a fan, especially after his tryst while married, but one thing he said made me shake my head. "If you work hard enough, dreams come true." That is one of the biggest lies ever told. Most work their asses off all their lives, giving it everything they have...and here we are, our elected officials giving away everything we have worked for to their rich doners. So don't give me that bullchit line. I stopped believing it long ago. Rant off.

He was accused of rape. But his attorney attacked the victim so relentlessly that she decided not to prosecute. And her allegation was not the first.

Trist. I could never watch another b.ball game after that. People actually cheered for him.
