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.

Why do I feel like if this story involved LeBron and not Kobe, your opinion would be totally different?
 
 
 
 
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.
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
this is a solid post

spending time and energy hating people is a waste of time and energy 
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.
shoeking was just speaking about people in general and not shelley

or so I thought

it does seem like she dislikes kobe though, not that there's anything wrong with that 
 
Multiple souorces:


@Chris_Broussard: Source: Miami Heat have emerged as the frontrunner to sign Joe Johnson. JJ feels he'd have a larger role & more meaningful minutes with Heat


So he doesn't want a chance to 'actually' win.

it wouldn't. wouldnt matter who it is, it was a good gesture regardless. bron, cp3, melo, any of those guys. Just like how I rock with and like certain posts made by f boys here, I do it in real life also. Even a garbage can gets a steak.
 
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.
all that needs to be said. it doesnt sound like she hates kobe or was hating on kobe either. sound like shes just being real. something we know kobe is not anymore.  dude is fake af.

Says the walking ball of negativity who spends every waking hour of every day crapping on every player in the league.
if i'm a walking ball of negativity it's probably unhealthy for you to follow me so closely 

you're like my brian windhorst

I mean this question sincerely.
No stones being tossed, no sarcasm being displayed.

But with this logic,
Doesn't it mean if someone for example was a thief, arsonist, criminal, drug dealer, whatever for 15 years... Putting their families life at risk over and over again, not to mention damaging other people's properties and well being... That he should continue to stay one until the day he dies? Should we not want him to pay his debt to society, change, and be a better human being out of it? Should we not expect for him to learn some humanity and genuinely change his ways?

I'm not comparing this example to Kobe in any shape or form. I'm just talking about the "if you're something then stay something all the way through" logic. That theory has a lot of outliers doesn't it? If that was the case then none of us would ever deserve 2nd chances in life.

We don't know whether or not someone's genuinely become a better person or not. We don't know if they've become genuinely humbled or not.

We can "assume" or "guess" that its fake, but who are we as human beings to tell other people to stay "the villain" their whole life instead of wanting to be "the hero" along the way?

Even LeBron got tired of playing the villain. He couldn't make it past a few years, hence the "I'm going home" letter. Was that not fake? was it real? Who know right? We have our opinions but at the end of the day we'll never really know with certainty what was on lebrons mind.

And we'll never know whether Kobe genuinely feels bad for those burned bridges. BUT, if he does, then why would we criticize him for having regret and remorse and genuinely trying to make amends for his past transgressions? I mean, it doesn't erase the bad things he's done, I'm not saying it deserves forgiveness. No.

But I don't think saying "f your sorry, stay an *** hole because that's what you've always been" exactly gets us anywhere in this world either.
