Shocked??Shocking behavior? If in fact he did it why would it be shocking? No, OJ Simpson was shocking.This is a story of a BB player overstepping the boundries.What makes it shocking?Like because hes a BB player hes above the normal human faults?
Yawn.
Its shocking because the persona we have been led to believe is Kobe' is one of the few squeeky clean basketball players.
Stories were circulated that he had trouble fitting in with the team because he refused to be the party guy. He is very well educated. Even though he came to the NBA out of High School, he speaks fluent Italian and I think Spanish.
This is shocking for those of us who have followed his career. It seems very un-Kobe-like. Maybe it's not. We shall see.
