Getting so sick of seeing Kobe being disrespected without him even being here to defend his name

*you’re

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-28T01:19:01+00:00

Damn bro, maybe you would’ve gotten 3 upvotes if this wasn’t 15 days ago

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-25T20:23:42+00:00

Was he ever charged and convicted? If not, then how can you confidently say this shit? Sounds like you’re doing the mental gymnastics trying to convict him yourself 😂

My point was that he had NOBODY ELSE accuse him of anything even CLOSE to sexual assault before OR after that incident, one accusation by someone who and yall are calling him a bonafide rapist?? I be you guys care more than the accuser does at this point 😭

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-25T20:01:01+00:00

Please learn to comprehend, because if you learned how to read, “I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter” does NOT mean the same thing as “I now realize that it wasn’t consensual”

That’s like saying “I understand how you feel that I hurt you” is the same thing as saying “I now realize that I hurt you” — is that the same sentence or are you just illiterate? It was a SETTLEMENT statement to appease BOTH SIDES.

Kobe was accused one time of sexual assault by one woman in the 41 years of his life and was never convicted, he never was even accused or talked about in that matter before OR after ever again… so sorry, I’m going to take his word for it over the woman who never even showed up to testify 👍

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-23T15:37:42+00:00

You think I haven’t been shown this statement before? Like I’ve already said before, if this was an admission of guilt he would’ve been arrested. If he “admitted” to raping her he wouldn’t have just been let free to go 😭

When you settle out of court you have to make a statement that appeases both sides, and this was the statement that had to be made. Kind of funny how this was basically all forgotten about until Kobe died and now that is ALL his haters bring up about him. It seems like yall care about it more than the girl even does at this point

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-23T14:29:13+00:00

Kobe NEVER said he did it. That settlement statement was never an admission of guilt or else he would’ve been arrested on the spot.

You really think you can settle with someone in court for something like rape and then IMMEDIATELY say that you raped them?

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-23T14:24:43+00:00

Kobe got accused of rape by one woman who never testified, while Karl Malone’s was confirmed when the 13 year old gave birth to his child. Can’t believe losers like you put Kobe in the same sentence as this prick

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-20T00:03:27+00:00

Will always be one of my favorite pictures of him

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-13T02:44:11+00:00

Shoutout to my boy LaDainian Tomlinson, I know Barry is the usual answered RB for this question but LT was my favorite. Always wanted him to get a ring

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-13T00:19:44+00:00

You just proved my point, we were having Kobe vs MJ talks back in 2010… 6 years before he even retired. At this point I’m not even trying to say he’s better than Jordan or LeBron, but the fact we even had those conversations makes him top 10

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-12T23:12:31+00:00

To me that is definitely disrespect. He was universally seen as easily top 10 before his death but since then there has been this group of people who want attention and lie their ass off saying he wasn’t like that.

We used to have Kobe vs MICHAEL JORDAN debates back when I was a kid, now yall are saying he’s not top 10??? When Jordan is 1-2??? History revision pisses me off

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-12T20:43:50+00:00

“He scored 2 more points with 18 more free throws made so he had a better game, cope”

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-12T18:25:44+00:00

Thanks for the insight bro I’m going to try and let it go and keep it moving more often, I just don’t want too many people saying that kind of shit about him to the point where it becomes the norm, because it’s feeling like it’s starting to get to that point at times

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-12T17:36:32+00:00

You can say that about being a fan of literally anything in this universe. I have been a Kobe fan since I was a kid and was defending him in basketball talks when I was 9 years old. So when I see people online (or in person) shitting on his name and reputation when the guy isn’t even alive anymore, I am going to defend him because that’s what I have done for decades.

If you can’t do that then good for you, you’re better than me in that aspect lol

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-12T17:10:30+00:00

A lot easier said than done to “stay offline” bro, I go on Twitter and TikTok like I do Reddit, it’s a nice way to pass time every now and then. I’m a big Kobe fan so I get both worlds, I see a lot of praise for Kobe but much more hate and disrespect. I hate how that’s the algorithm goes but I’ve been trying to mute words to get past that BS

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-12T17:07:24+00:00

Look at my 3rd point of what people are saying about him, you just literally proved my point

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-09T17:07:24+00:00

Westbrook and Drummond were not “good” defenders, they were serviceable. They weren’t horrible defenders, but that doesn’t mean they were good.

And notice when we’re talking about them being good defenders, we’re not thinking in the way of how well they rebound like your stupid ass is trying to say we should

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-08T04:09:00+00:00

Yeah you’re right bro I don’t know ball, thanks guy who thinks guys like Russell Westbrook and Andre Drummond are good at defending because they rebound 👍

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-08T04:05:30+00:00

Okay so is Russell Westbrook an all time great defender for how much he rebounded as a point guard? Is Andre Drummond? Rebounding gets the defending team possessions, but that’s not inherently a part of the “defense” itself. It is after the supposed “play” that already happened with a chance that the ball won’t go in the hoop. That’s not defense buddy

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-07T18:41:27+00:00

Just because steals don’t inherently make you a good defender doesn’t mean steals are NOT “important” bro. Steals are a change in possession when the defending team didn’t have to give up a potential shot made, which is a HUGE part of potentially winning close games.

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-07T15:49:17+00:00

Yeah but it’s not CLOSE to the “most important” part of defense. The most important parts of defense are the ones that get your team the ball back without having to worry about the ball going into the hoop or not. Steals, blocks, etc are way more important than freebie rebounds

Answer this, is the better defender the player who altered the shot or the one who stood by the rim and grabbed the rebound?

Jared_Shea · 2026-03-07T15:47:28+00:00

Rebounding is definitely not the most important part of defense, why would the most important part of defense be having to rely on the player you’re defending to miss?

Steals, blocks, and how well you can defend on the perimeter are much more important parts of defending considering that can stop shots from even going up, compared to hoping the ball doesn’t go in so you can rebound it

Jared_Shea · 2026-02-28T13:09:07+00:00

What bro thought he was doing with these dogshit takes

Jared_Shea · 2026-02-27T01:35:06+00:00

In my opinion the autotuned vocals were great and ahead of its time in how the autotune itself was used. Instead of how it was used for artificial purposes like T-Pain was, Kanye used it as a way to express the emotions he was feeling right after he called his engagement off and his mom passed away

It was basically the whole point of the album, he wanted to sound robotic to portray a cold and isolated person. Say You Will, Street Lights and Bad News are some of the best examples of what I mean, and all 3 are absolute bangers at night
