    If you seriously believe this then you are one of the dumbest people on the Internet. So, there's that.

    [rQUOTEr]She is about to get half.

    The Los Angeles Times reports that Los Angeles Lakers All-Star guard Kobe Bryant will likely be on the hook for $75 million or more in a divorce settlement with his wife, Vanessa, because he did not have a prenuptial agreement. The couple announced that they were filing for divorce in December.

    The apparent lack of a prenuptial agreement -- coupled with 10 years of marriage -- will likely significantly increase the size of Vanessa Bryant's divorce settlement with Kobe Bryant, legal experts said.

    Some estimates put Kobe Bryant's net worth at $150 million. Legal experts said Vanessa Bryant will probably receive at least $75 million in addition to ongoing spousal and child support.

    The fact the marriage lasted 10 years gives Vanessa Bryant several advantages under California divorce law. After passing the 10-year mark, attorney Dmitry Gorin said, a marriage is defined as a lengthy one, which means the spouse is allowed to maintain her standard of living after the split.[/rQUOTEr]

    wait how? We will never know the truth. The fact is, the case was dropped, but not the money settlement. She had semen from 3 other men for the past 3 weeks. She was a front desk attendant who after her shift, after midnight, went up by her self to this superstars room. Are you kidding me? The guy maybe a cheating jerk, but the signs of this being rape are just flat out questionable and anyone who states it as fact is dumb

    No there were signs consistent with rape such a ripping of vaginal skin. What does it matter if she had sex with 100 men earlier that day. Rape is about consent and if the first 100 sex partners had that then no problem. If the 101st sex partner did not have consent then it's rape, plane and simple.

    Going up to his room late at night proves nothing. If you (I'm assuming your male) had been working at a hotel and Hakeem walked in and the two of you had a good conversation and Hakeem said, "when your shift is over come on up if you want and have a couple of beers, were going to be watching the game". You'd head straight to his room, I know I would but I would not be expecting to get rapped.

    The girl is certainly guilty of being niaive and Kobe was guilty of bad judgement at the very least. I do agree with you that we will never know for sure but there are signs that point to rape.

    Yea, but people are running around calling him a rapist, you can't prove it either way. Imagine you being accused and everyone running arund calling oyu or a family member that just based on that. It owrks both ways, so in the end we can't say either one.

    The thing you made it sound with hakeem was just buds hanging out or something.

    There was no story of him saying yea wel l have beers or just talk. Infact if you kept up with the actual case and testimonies, she consented to starting to kiss him and the foreplay and then she said she decided it wasn't for her. So now heres the girl, who is very active as it is, coming to a sex symbol superstars room after midnight by herself, consenting to engage in sexual activity in the beginning. Yes it is possible that all of a sudden she decided that 3 in a week mid way is not a good idea or something like that but yea there are plenty of signs pointing towards suspicion. She took the settlement and left it at that, to me that says something. Regardless he was not guilty or convicted of anything, just adultery which he admitted to it all.
    So either way, no proof on either side, but to here someone up there say its dumb to think he is not a rapist, etc itself is dumb

    Vanessa knew a year before that she was going to divorce him but stayed with him long enough to get past that 10 year mark and get more $$$.

    Kobe should have dropped her 2 years ago. But I do not have any compassion with that guy regardless.

    And after all this Kobe is now dropping 40 on everyone and proving that he is still one of the elite players in the game.

    Can we all agree that he is officially the Anti-Tiger now?

    Ya he is the most competitive guy since Jordan. Period. His talent level not the best though.... that makes it even more impressive.
    He is still a douche.

    It's pretty good, he's been shooting at 50% during this stretch

    Sure it is, when the rest of your team is taking 30 shots to score 35, which is exactly what the rest of his mates are doing. Sure it is, when the top scoring team in the league is taking 30 shots to score 39.

    if he's shooting 50%, then at least he should have 45 pts. That's also not including 3s or FTs.

    30 shots with 50 percent shooting = 15 shots going in.

    With no freethrows or threes, this would equal 2 points per shot.

    2 x 15 = 30....

    Kobe doesn't let anything distract him or rattle him when on the court. Remember during the rape trial he went to court in the afternoon and then played at night and was still lighting it up.

    Rough sex and/or a penis too large for the vaginal opening can also result in signs of rape. It's not impossible for a woman to stage it too. see the Life of David Gale.

    After the whole ordeal was over didn't Kobe say something like "I thought it was consenual but now I can see how she thought it wasn't", or something like that?
