Imagine defending someone grooming a child
I know roughly 50 percent of you can't have sex
25 percent have kids


If a grown man millionaire superstar went near your 16 yr old daughter

Talking to the teal grown ups
Not fukking losers


How would you react

Someone has to die....that's hyperbole
But no way that is allowed



Also you faghots getting mad
Look up rapebes comments on trayvon

Your hero was a fakkit

We did the math, what does a nikka 4 years in the association, just about can drink legally, with money and fame look like dropping his wiz off to high school :why: herb shyt
He was 3 years in (drafted in '96), not 4.

And I'm not saying it's the greatest thing in the world, but man, y'all can't have studied the history of musicians or athletes if you think

21 year old Kobe dating a 17 girl is the most egregious thing in the world :heh:

Make sure y'all don't look up Elvis, Steven Tyler, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chuck Berry & all them motherfukkers.

Like, y'all really gots to all be under 30 to be making this the biggest deal in the world.

No way somebody who grew up in the 20th century would be obsessing over 2 people within high-school age of each other dating.

Johnny Depp was dating Wynonna Rider when he was 26 & she was 17. They were fukkin' Hollywood royalty back in the '80s.

You young nikkaz just need to accept that things were mostly different back then & LET IT GO

This is trash. Kobe & his wife would’ve been in HS at the same time at one point and no one would bat an eye about it. Same age difference two years later and its a big deal along the lines as Karl Malone?

:camby:

This shyt is forced as fukk. Prince married his girl the DAY she turned 18 when he was in his 40s. No one batted an eye.

A lot of them have been criticized for it over the years unless you’d like to pretend that wasn’t the case?

You can admit that something was socially acceptable at the time while also admitting that it would and should be frowned upon today.

Multiple things can be true.

This younger generation isn’t for the shyt and I don’t blame them.

Alot of yall are blatantly distorting various things within this thread...

Kobe was born in August 1978. Vanessa was born in May 1982. They are 45 months apart in age. That's not 3 years. Its not 3½. Its 3 months from 4 years on the dot. So if you're gonna talk about the age gap, it was 4 years.

Second of all, article said "late" 1999, which indicates they met sometime after September. Which would put Kobe already at 21, not "going on" 21 or 20. And Vanessa at 17, not "16". Plausible that she was within 6 months of turning 18.

But the facts are when they started dating, he was 21, she was 17. 4-year age gap. And he was already playing in his 4th NBA season, while she was a senior in high school.

Going back to the time period, I vaguely recall there being some discomfort around Kobe and his family drama, including him dating the young chick. nikkas saying "it wasnt a problem back then", aren't being honest. But it was the same era people knew R Kelly was raping high schoolers and Epstein was molesting little girls. It was an open secret and plenty of people disapproved, but it wasn't yet the era where rich and wealthy men were being held accountable for this kinda behavior. Now with that said:

A 4-year age gap when your daughter is 17 isn't the worst thing in the world, and it isnt an example of "pedophilia", though it could be characterized as something else. And Kobe giving her rides to and from school definitely was clowned back then, Kobe for a long time was viewed as a straight up square and a loser, in the sense of being a guy.

I have 3 daughters, would I want them with a 21-year old? No, but Vanessa was already at video shoots and being a 17-year old high school senior, you could meet a 21-year old. Most 17-year olds are entering the work force, taking college classes or high school classes at a college campus, etc. Its not hard for a 17 year old and 21 year old to meet, and it isn't something I'd be outraged about, though I'd want to meet the boy and know everything about him.

All the other shyt yall doing in here is wack. Bringing up LeBron, lying about yhe age gap, all this unecessary shyt is wack.

Just keeping all things fair and consistent, if Kobe and Vanessa grew up in the same school district, he'd have graduated high school in May/June '96. Vanessa wouldn't have started her freshman year until the following August/September '96. So they wouldn't have been in the school at the same time.

But I'm with your overall statement though. This is not the kinda age gap you make a huge deal over, although him giving her rides to and from school is cringe. A whole bunch of mf's were doing truly egregious shyt. A 17 and 21 year old can organically meet and strike up a relationship in the real world.

It wasn’t different, y’all gotta stop that man shyt was frowned upon

Again I’m going to circle back to the optics

20 ready to drink and pretty much a grown man and you dropping your Bih off to high school, why would you a man with access and wealth want a 17 yo video Ho ? Again if your dude or your kid came home saying that you’d clowning them and call them weird i said the man a lame, and he could have done better but he was a herb so that’s the best he could do, this wasnt a nikka liking a young thang this was man stuck with no options because he was awkward

So because Prince did it it’s cool ?? Your son come home and say he’s ready to marry a girl he met on a video set and you like hey long as you happy…. Yeah aiight man

Can they meet up yes, what do the two have in common, in college especially once i turned 21 i had nothing in common with a high schooler context of gaps matter having a ten year gap at 26 and 36 is fine, having one at 20, well you understand, my point is hs and grown man is a difference, but Kobe was a herb so that was the best he could do, til later in his career when the money and fame came in bigger doses, then he started to do his thing more

What Prince did was foul. No doubt he was smashing her before she was 18.

Kobe, the still would be in HS together age difference is the same?

What did you say when you knew HS seniors were smashing some freshmen in HS? NOTIHING because we were ALL IN HS TOGETHER

Basically. These dudes are twisting themselves into pretzels.

It was weird and no matter how many whataboutisms you bring up it will still be weird. And no, most of the time when we was in hs seniors were not dating freshmans anyway :dead:

Kobe was a weird dude, you can still have him as your goat or w/e and that be true. I consider Prince one fo the goat humans, insanely weird and questionable shyt in his past. Its fine to be a fan of people and also admit they have some skeletons in they closet.

But these weirdos see Kobe as some type of god figure :dead: fatherless ass behavior :dead:

I don't think there's a ton of real world difference between a 17 and 21 year old, especially the older I get, but I can respectfully disagree (there is some difference though). When I was 21 I was 8 months outta prison, in and outta jail, and the girls I was messing with that summer were between 18 and 26.

Everybody knew Kobe was a herb though, thats a fact and he definitely got clowned for various herb-like traits.

They wouldn't have been in high school at the same time.
