Kobe Bryant wants to let you know that whatever rain you made last night at the strip club was nothing but drizzle compared to his major ballin':
Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, were at Friday night's grand opening of BLUSH Boutique Nightclub at the Wynn in Las Vegas, when he saw poker player Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari kick in for two bottles of $1,400 Cristal champagne. According to sources inside the club,
Kobe wasn't about to be shown up by some puny little card player -- and kicked in for five bottles. Antonio, who's used to upping the ante, then switched his order to ten! Go big or go home!
Kobe ended the competition when he purchased an astounding 15 bottles -- and then left the club!
In case you flunked fourth grade math, that's a grand total of $21,000 for some bubbly.
And yet you still wonder what Kobe's wife sees in him.
No, I'm sure it sucks to jet-set with a hubby who drops paper like that and buys you eight-carat diamonds when he sleeps around on you. After all, the odds of that happening are slim to none because everyone knows professional athletes are rarely unfaithful to their wives.

Well he has the money to waste.
The rich get richer and poor get poorer. I'm sure there is a school somewhere in this counrty that could have benifit from that 20,000.00
He who is without sin, cast the first stone. We all do some dumb things from time to time.

fucked up priorities. But look at the source. He cheated on his wife and cried later. Anything for a show. And her dumb ass stood by again and supported him. shame on him and her.

I think its CRAZY for this man to spend his money on CRISTAL when the man that owns the company clearly stated he didnt like the negativity brought to his company by blacks.

I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR KOBE BRYANT. HE IS A RAPIST. DO PEOPLE KNOW THAT AFTER THE CRIMINAL CASE AGAINST HIM WAS DROPPED, HE PUBLICLY ADMITTED TO THE RAPE AND APOLIGIZED. IF YOU SUPPORT KOBE, THEN YOU SUPPORT RAPISTS. I AM PASTING A COPY OF HIS APOLOGY.

The following statement by Kobe Bryant was issued after sexual assault charges against him were dropped:
"First, I want to apologize directly to the young woman involved in this incident. I want to apologize to her for my behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered in the past year. Although this year has been incredibly difficult for me personally, I can only imagine the pain she has had to endure. I also want to apologize to her parents and family members, and to my family and friends and supporters, and to the citizens of Eagle, Colo.
"I also want to make it clear that I do not question the motives of this young woman. No money has been paid to this woman. She has agreed that this statement will not be used against me in the civil case. Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.
"I issue this statement today fully aware that while one part of this case ends today, another remains. I understand that the civil case against me will go forward. That part of this case will be decided by and between the parties directly involved in the incident and will no longer be a financial or emotional drain on the citizens of the state of Colorado."

IF HE DID NOT RAPE THE WOMAN, THEN HE WOULD NOT HAVE APOLOGIZED AND ADMITTED TO THE RAPE! THIS GUY FORCEFULLY RAPED A FEMALE! HE GOT AWAY WITH IT AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY SUPPORT HIM AND PRAISE HIM. I GUESS WE SHOULD ALSO SUPPORT MICHAEL JACKSON, R. KELLY (STATUATORY RAPE FOR HAVING SEX WITH A MINOR AND URNINATING ON HER WHILE BEING VIDEO TAPED) AND ALL OF THE OTHER RAPISTS IN SOCIETY.

I use to like Kobe, but no more.He has plenty of money but I bet he is one of the most shameful celebrities. He likes to throw money around in the faces of and to be specific, Black folks. Reason for saying that is because he is Black but he acts like we dont have a poverish and devastating history.I really despises the actions of some Black folks today and Koby is one of them. I have great respects for Black folks who would lash out against this kind of waste.One more thing I would like to mention is that I have lots of respects for a lot of white folks because they show more respect for each other and every one else and they are always trying to help a hard working brother out, as far as I can see.
