I've never been a Kobe fan and I always thought that he rode on the coat tales of Shaq's first 3 BUT I respect his game tremendously and he is a top 5 All time.
But I gained nothing but respect for him after seeing this. He is definitely a role model for black youth on this one. He's a well accomplished, well polished professional black capitalist....my hats off to em

...he's doing what he's suppose to be doing...
He aint on some hood bull shyt and he aint about 'keepin it real' (whatever that means)....the man is about POWER and making POWER moves.
And not to shyt on my hometown hero...but look at Allen "The Answer" Iverson (one of my top favorite players of All Time) and then look at Kobe....Now which one do you think is better for the black community?
WHich one would you want to be more like?
Which one would you prefer to come speak at predominantly black schools?
Which one would you prefer black youth to look up to?
AI can barely pay his rent and still rocks furs and platinum chains and rains on hoes...and here's Kobe talkin about following your passion...picking the brains of top CEOs and other Venture Capitalists and ringing the bell at Wall St rockin a Windsor knot in his tie on a financial business show.
