Re: The 10 highest-earning American athletes + said by The Dv8or:said by zaldy:Also how can a (Shaq) Reebok logo replaced a (Jordan) Nike logo? Because Reebok was trying to push a logo that would hopefully be the most recognizable logo associated with a specific player. Everyone knew the Jordan logo, and Reebok wanted to counter. 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. |

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.

My last reply was pertaining to this post of yours. You are assuming when people pay somebody off then they're guilty already. Most people with money to burn just do that because it's actually better (and sometimes cheaper) than having them to attend the proceedings. |

I didn't say that all people that pay off accusers are guilty. You have a serious problem with context. I said, I always pay off people when I didn't do it.
Meaning SOME PEOPLE DO pay off people because they DID do it or did the crime to some smaller degree.
Fact is YOU DO NOT KNOW. So given that we BOTH know that that much and he paid her off. I have zero reason to believe he DIDN'T rape her or something similar. If he was a man and didn't do it, he should have took it to court. With his money he could have been proven innocent even if wasn't probably. See: OJ.

It's also a hell of a lot more stressful to go to court cause even the Innocent get charged with crimes they never did... not to mention it would interfere with his NBA career which is on the rise yet again... why go through all that stress when you have the money just to get it over with?
