OT - Kobe Bryant: Dahntay Jones ' Jalen Rose'd Me'

With the Lakers trailing by two points in the final seconds, Bryant rose up for a potential game-tying, fadeaway jumper from the corner. In a double blow for the Lakers, the shot bounced off the rim and then Bryant came down on defender Dahntay Jones, rolling his ankle on the awkward landing. Bryant didn't think it was merely bad luck that Jones got under him on that shot.

"He Jalen Rose'd me," Bryant told reporters after the game, alluding to a similar play in the 2000 NBA Finals that sidelined him with a sprained ankle.

So if one was to get "Kobe'd"... would that mean you were a cleaning lady and he knocked you up or is it when your cheating spouse gets you a $10 million ring to buy you off? 

Or just being one of the other four players on a team when one guy jacks up 3's from 2 steps from midcourt while yelling "KOBE!"?

Kobe was not accused of simply knocking up the Colorado cleaning lady.  He was accused (with substantial corroborating evidence) of raping the young woman.  (I don't think he impregnated her.)  Kobe, in my mind, admitted as much when he said in his public statement:

Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.

I understand the case was not ironclad, but holy shite: "I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter"?!?  Uhm, it seems you're not getting how this whole consensual business works Kobe.  The other details of the Eagle, CO case are pretty sordid and IMO make Kobe look like a bad person.

So, it turns out I'm not a fan of Kobe Bryant's and wouldn't really mind if he got Jalen Rose'd (or worse) on numerous occasions.

What was the corroborating evidence? By most of her own friends accounts they said she did it to try and get some money out of it. Plus in the panties she gave to the police that night she had 3 different male semen deposits on them.

Did not see this until Friday a.m. - sorry for the late reply.  But it's my understanding that she had vaginal tearing consistent with forced sex (rather than multiple partners), and that her blood was found on Kobe Bryant's underwear.  Furthermore, that blood was not menstrual blood per forensic tests. 

Her explanation for having another man's semen in her underwear was that after the rape she had not showered and grabbed a pair of panties from her laundry basket.  That doesn't strike me as unusual behavior for someone who already feels humiliated and is in shock, BTW.

And Kobe's statement ("I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter") is pretty damning.  In the minds of many (including mine) it's an outright admission of nonconsenual sex, i.e., rape.

There is evidence, as you note, that the case is not ironclad.  Rape cases seldom are, and rape cases against multimillionaires with access to aggressive counsel going up against housekeepers are more difficult than most.  But the blood/vaginal trauma in particular is damning evidence, especially when paired with her complaint and Kobe's oblique admission that she did not consent to sex.

Kobe may be a cold-blooded egotist who wouldn't even need a Sorting Hat to get placed in House Slytherin, but his gripe isn't without precedent - Dahntay (seriously, who spells "Dante" like that?) Jones did deliberately and flagrantly trip Kobe in the 2009 Western Conference Finals so that incident was probably foremost in Kobe's mind.

I've been a Kobe fan since 1997 and this was clearly intentional. Most people don't know Jones history with the Nuggets as he purposely tried to injure him in a playoff game.

He sure seemed nonchalant after his dirty flailing while trying to draw a foul...which broke Manu Ginobli's nose. Haven't seen him do the flail lately, but it was so obvious that Adrian Wojnarowski (sp!?) wrote an article entitled "Kobe, the cheap-shot artist."
