Lakers Plan to Use Kobe's "Gay Gate" to Stop Homophobic Remarks


"The Los Angeles Lakers plan to use the occasion of Kobe Bryant's gay slur to try to stop homophobic remarks in basketball.

The team and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) announced a working relationship on Friday, the same day Bryant apologized again.

"What happened in Tuesday night's game is not representative of what the Lakers stand for," Lakers spokesman John Black said. "We want to reaffirm our commitment to all our fans and our appreciation for the support we receive from all segments of society. 

"We also understand the importance of positive messages in helping us convey this," Black added. "We appreciate the input we've received from GLAAD the past two days and will look forward to working with them on ways to help educate ourselves and our fans, and to help keep language like this out of our game." Bryant was hit with a technical foul against the Spurs on Tuesday, stormed back to the bench and uttered a gay slur toward referee Bennie Adams. The moment was caught on camera and quickly caused an uproar.

The league condemned Bryant's words and fined the Lakers star $100,000.

Bryant responded by saying: "The comment that I made, even though it wasn't meant in the way it was perceived to be, is nonetheless wrong, so it's important to own that." - Full article" -Via ESPN

Rumor? or Fact?: Kobe Takes a S#!t on Heat Court After Game


Kobe was so upset after last nights loss to the Miami Heat he spent two hours taking his frustration out on the Miami Heat home court shooting. Not a Gilbert type shooting, but taking practice shots. Could this be practice for a possible road win over the Heat in the NBA Finals???? Word got out once teammates and media personalities that were still in the building started to Tweet about the superstar's late night tantrum. He is a gifted athlete but practice is still needed as we can see. See video below of Kobe's frustration workout. Are those Miami personnel on the court rebounding for Kobe?! Loyalty is dead!!!
