Re: The 10 highest-earning American athletes + said by The Dv8or:said by zaldy:I can't see why Shaq is more marketable than Kobe. Kobe has his own shoe right? Does shaq has his? It's an honest question. If you cant understand why Shaq is twelve times more marketable than Kobe, then you're clearly blinding yourself to Shaq's charisma. And by the way, Shaq had his own shoe years before Kobe had one. As a matter of fact, Reebok was trying to market a Shaq logo to replace the Air Jordan logo when Jordan retired. You clearly are a young child, seeing how you dont remember these things. In that case tell me why Forbes placed Kobe in number 2 position of World Top Athlete earners ahead of Lebron (6th) and Shaq (11th)
Last time I've checked, 45M is greater than 33M
»www.forbes.com/2009/06/17/top-ea···e_3.html Kobe number 2 with 45M
»www.forbes.com/2009/06/17/top-ea···e_7.html Lebron at 6th with 40M
»www.forbes.com/2009/06/17/top-ea···_13.html Shaq at 11 on 33M
Also how can a (Shaq) Reebok logo replaced a (Jordan) Nike logo? |

As for how Forbes crunched these numbers, and why they're so drastically different from SI's numbers, I couldnt answer that until I see who used what formula.

I guess then Shaq wasn't that marketable at all. I've asked a few co workers who likes to watch NBA too to name a few NBA players they know that has his own shoe. Jordan was the first answer most of the time. Kobe's name was mentioned 4 out of 5. Shaq was never mentioned.
I therefore conclude more people knew Kobe's line of shoe than Shaq's. So maybe Kobe is more marketable then? |

I just prefer to like athletes who dont act like douches.
I know you are the opposite. |

| Kobe is definitely not a douche. He is a team player (for the last 3 or 4 years at least), took his team to the gold medal at the Olympics, cried with joy when he won it for his country.
He is an American Icon. None of us are perfect, and I believe Kobe is a great basketball player, dad, and husband. |

How about innocent until proven guilty? I dunno about you, but I always pay people off when I didn't do it. Many people would agree he likely did something very questionable with that girl... its not a shocker you wouldn't. You are blinded by the love you have for this man.

In that case let's get rid of the courts because they're no use. We can all tell if the suspect is guilty or not. We can be the judge and the jury. The hell with "innocent until proven guilty" thing. |

He admited having sex with the girl... that means he was cheating on his chick... therefor my statement stands... he is no model father/husband/etc.
