I really have no feelings either way. I was never a big Kobe fan, but I could certainly appreciate his accomplishments on the court and the skill that he possessed as a generational player.

Personally, I barely think about it. I think he overcame it by becoming a better Kobe Bryant. Also, a true verdict was never reached as it was settled out of court so.....

Completely different but I look at Randy Moss in a similar way. He has improved his character so much as he has gotten older. They eventually learned they could be important role models instead of immature spoiled athletes.
