AND WHO HELPED
"Another excellent aspect of Kobe Bryant is that he leads by example;
this man is an unflagging role model. Growing up with Kobe Bryant was
like growing up with a deadbeat dad or a Little League coach with rage
issues or an unfortunate combination of the two. As you, slackjawed and
terrified, would watch him stagger and scream around the court, you'd
make a mental note: Don't be that guy. Don't be the guy who shouts "Faggot" across a crowded stadium. Don't be the guy who doesn't invite friends or family to his wedding.
Don't be the guy who trusts no one. The vexing part is, the worse Kobe
behaved, the more his teammates and NBA officials and fans and people at
large reviled and defended him. He made enablers of us all. In a way,
you could say he united a nation."
