Talk:Boycott Kobe's New Jersey/@comment-Xtinct-2006042861643

Sad, that this &quot;opinion&quot; or &quot;story&quot; is a copied comment from a thread yesterday, guess that&quot;s the kind of creativity we can expect from thesportsfan.tv

Prima Donna? Egotistical? Sexual Assaulting? You&quot;re worse than the National Enquirer. Why not judge the man a) on the talent for which he is known and b) the stuff that can be proven? Sexual Assault is a crime. America exists (supposedly) in a state of innocence until proven guilty....do I need to make the connection for you.

And since you&quot;re using old comments, I&quot;ll place my old response to you from yesterday...

In order for a player to change jersey numbers at will, he either has to change teams or have the team inform the league of the decision more than six months in advance.

This is to say that Kobe isn&quot;t thinking about his jersey now...in fact it was thought about 6 months ago....if you personally don&quot;t like Kobe just say it....don&quot;t try to twist a story for your justification of not liking him. So give me a break EM, don&quot;t state opinions based on pure emotion, they tend to be real flimsy.

And furthermore, Kobe wore 33 for one year in high school to honor his father who wore that number. The rest of his high school days he wore 24. In 1996-97, 24 was worn by George McCloud, 33 was retired, and 8 was the sum of his McDonalds (or some high school all star game) jersey number 143. Isn&quot;t life easier when you have information to back up your rants?
