Whether she feels the greeting was genuine or not, it's unnecessary to speak on it that way in public. Just mentioned the greeting and move on, why be petty? Oh I know why, because being petty means people will talk about it. Good ol ESPN and their yellow journalism.
 
Why do we assume the wose in people?

Shelly could have just as easily assumed that Kobe butied the hatchet, and has let the past be just that. But she chose to believe he's faking it. Why?

Being nice is a good thing. Who cares if he's faking it, or not? The point is, is that he performed a nice gesture towards you. Dont overthink it, and if you must overthink it, let those thoughts be positive.

Think and assume the best from people. [COLOR=#red]Pessimistic people suck to be around[/COLOR]

probably the realest ish u ever wrote

birds stay talking ****. nothing worse than when you try and change and people think youre insincere and don't let you. they want you to be the *** hole. So they set you up and try and piss you off, and they hope you spaz everytime you mad. All the media is on that tmz f boy juice.

i dont think what kb is doing has anything to do with mj.

Of course it is! Why should it stop now?

He has been stealing everything he could from the man and now he wants to go out beloved like him but in actuality he is only highlighting his team's garbageness and his vast decline.
 
What Shelley said was "Slander"......woah-dat ether *rolls eyes

Shelly didn't day anything that all of us hadn't already said, fact is she actually had a relationship or sort with him and we never did, I think she's more than qualified to make that assessment, and she likely made it correctly

You forgive people that betrayed you that easily and just let them back in like that? It's one thing to be positive and optimistic. It's another to be naive.

All right. I respect your opinion, but not sure I agree with it. Typically, people have to earn the benefit of the doubt. And I don't know that Kobe has in this situation. But its not for me to say. In the end, I agree with those who are saying nobody did anything wrong here. Genuine or not, it was good for Kobe to make the gesture to talk to Smith again. But she also has the right to question his motives.

To build on this comment this isn't who Kobe has been for the last two decades. Can someone flip the switch and change on a dime or is there an ulterior motive? Kobe is in a tough spot(that he put himself in) with his behavior over the last twenty years. He hasn't needed the media as long as he could get on the floor and do something spectacular to make everyone look on in awe. Kobe wielded the power to make his own case by his phenomenal play. He can't do that anymore. Now others, including the media, will still have their say and he won't be able to make a rebuttal because Kobe was never anything more than an outstanding basketball player. Once you hang up the sneakers you are just left with what kind of man you are.

Not saying there is any way of knowing how things go for Kobe going forward or how he will be perceived/remembered, but less is in his hands than previously.

Maybe he becomes a great humanitarian and starts looking out for other people. Up to him.

But as it stands Smith has every right to question his motive. Either he was genuine and just has very suspicious timing or he's putting on an act. At the current time they look the same.

Yes, Yes I do. Naive implies you dont know. What im saying is that this isnt about being naive because the reasoning behind it doesnt matter

I forgive. Life's too short to hold all that betrayal, hatred, and cold in your heart.

At the end of the day its much harder to carry hate than to let things go. Things happen. **** happens. You forgive and move on. Doesnt menyou have to become buddy buddy but ****, let things go

Its easier that way. For me at least it is

Thing is she didn't reject the hug or tell him to **** off. She played it cool. She just said she doesn't believe it's genuine. I doubt she's losing sleep over it. She just sees through the fake **** and is playing along. I applaud her honesty.

Back to Basketball doe.

I got the kings putting the paws on the Clippers tonight. Cousins finna go hamburger.

And that's really what it comes down to. How each of us interacts with other people is a very individual, personal thing. We're different in terms of the qualities we value in other people and what are willing to overlook. Some people just aren't wired to forgive and forget as easily as others. So, I think your attitude and philosophy about these things is great. I tend to try and focus on the positive as well. But I'm not going to fault someone who can't do that as easily.

Pretty much and add in the fact that she just survived breast cancer, which many women don't, there's really no reason she should be holding any grudges IMO.

Be blessed that you're still alive Shelley, be happy Kobe came down off his high horse and put the BS aside to show you some respect during your worst times.
 
Or maybe dude saw someone that he had beef with going through real life situations and realized that there are things in life bigger than some words on a page and he just wanted to offer her some support in her fight. I highly doubt he needs anything from her. And with her talking **** after dude showed love, it just makes her seems bitter and small.

i bet bread she hugged him back.

Cognitive dissonance.

Naivete.

Willful ignorance.

All things that systematically allow people to act a fool with no recourse, no accountability.

'Assuming the worst' is only in play when you have no baseline to go off of. If a baseline has already been established, then you are not 'assuming the worst' if you have reservations based on that baseline; you are paying attention, and you should proceed cautiously with that baseline in mind.

I don't really see anything in that quote that feels like "hate" or "cold" or close really.

Hating?

Who said anything about hating?

Shelley never said she hated Kobe.

Having reservations about someone based on who they have shown their self to be, that's not hate.

At all.
