naw..not really..had my respect..before and after that rap trial...i watch all kind of celebrities fall victim of that shit..i know the game..i'm from the hood..celebrities are easy targets..especially young black men..you know..but Kobe lived with it..accept it..thats a strong nigga..nigga never bitched bout it..never wanted anybody to feel sorry for him..that nigga took it and accept it like a real nigga..that nigga goes everywhere and gets booed..and when he does he cracks a smile..thats whut i'm talkin bout..nigga never cracks under pressure..Kobe is a beast..and he stays in beast mode in the game..cant fuck with him...can't hold em back..he does his thing..rape charge or not..u gotta love Kobe's game..besides Kobe had haters before anyway...he's not no thug..he doesn't have enuff tattoos for people..or cornrolls...for peeps to like him..that's why peeps love A.I., peeps dont like A.I. cuz of his game..they like him cuz he's a thug..Kobe tryna be a thug = Taye Diggs on Malibu's Most Wanted

Lost respect, rape or no rape, I lost respect for him for the simple fact that he cheated on his wife. I can respect somebody that cheats on there girlfriend but not somebody who cheats on their wife and then trys to act like the victim when he gets caught.

i never liked him until that 2002/03 season before he got charged...he lost my respect after he dissed iverson and snitched on shaq...

lmao @ snitched on Shaq...what he said bout Iverson??? and Stupendamatic what kind of weak shit is that..that's straight pussy..you don't think Shaq or your fav players chat on they wives..that's normal typical shit..u reaching and u looking for reasons to hate..thats shit is crazy

he lost my respect after he quit on his team.

what a fucking primadonna.

Are you going to respond and diss every poster who doesnt agree with you?

Funny coming off with "weak shit" guess in you think it makes you more of a man (non-pussy) to cheat on your wife? Grow up child..

Anyways nobody knows who as you put it "chat" on there wives untill its exposed. I respect Kobe's skills but don't respect him as team player or a man. Plain and simple..

its like the pros outweigh the cons, whats the pros:
pissin off white people n the report was damn funny its on thesmokinggun.com i didnt think kobe had the heart to say he'll buss on a hoes face. also going to trial for rape charges n it inspiring you to have the best games of your life.

cons:buying his wife an expensive ring and getting a tattoo also crying in front of every1. he shouldnt have cried he should popped some bottles that shit brought his career to a whole new level.

Kobe is my fav b-ball player. He gained my respect even more when he fucking carried that 2003 Lakers team, cause Shaq was in and out with that damn toe/knee injury. Kobe became only the third player in NBA history to average 40 or more points in a month with a 40.6 ppg average for the month of February that year.

Yup, your the only person.

i sincerely hope this faggot carlton gets his shit raped by big buck down the street.

even if Kobe's innocent or guilty ... carlton, you're sayin' that ESPECIALLY if he's guilty you gained respect for him .... your mom did a WONDERFUL job raising you. What if Kobe raped your mom? gain your respect then? dumb motherfuck.

I lost respect for Kobe because he was dumb enough to catch a case from some groupie bitch. Should've done like Chappelle recommended and had her sign the "Love Contract."

I lost respect for him for many reasons, on the court he's still one of my favorite players but he was accused of rape, he cheated on his wife, and he rated on Shaq saying he does the same thing all the time and pays the girls off to shut up.Given all those things, the respect meter for Kobe def dropped a lot, but he's still an unbelievable player on the court.

lost much respect also because being such an ego on the court

rule number 1 dont wish your faggotry on other people. kobe didnt really rape nobody he went on trial n beat the case while pissin off alotta fags like u. thats gangsta.

"am i the only person that gained respect for kobe after his rape case??? "

appears so...

how did he rape her when he was found innocent?..tell me that one dumb fuck.

man i never liked kobe to begin with...i respect the fact that in the end he owned up to what he did...but i don't respect the fact that he cheated on his wife.
