Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant visited China and was given high praise, check it out. I really think that Kobe has the celebrity Michael Jordan has but the personal brand isn’t there. For example, with Jordan’s jump man logo and brand recognition Jordan has been able to remain a dominate brand in the sports world. Kobe’s brand isn’t personalized the way Jordan’s brand is, with the logo and all. I don’t think that Nike will be able to sell a complete Kobe line of apparel after Kobe is retired the same way they are still able to market the Jordan brand. What are your thoughts?

The Amare Stoudemire scored 42pts and grabbed 11rbs as the Phoenix Suns took game three from the LA Lakers despite a strong performance from Kobe Bryant and Paul Gasol. When the Suns dropped back into their zone defense the Lakers really became out of sink and couldn’t really get into their flow. It will be interesting to see how they respond to the zone in game 4.

Kobe Bryant has outdone Jerry West. With 44 points against the Grizzlies on Monday, Bryant became the Lakers all-time scoring leader with 25,208 career points; all while at a very young age. Do you think Kobe can potentially be the greatest of all time?

———————————

Yo Jamal Crawford has the Hawks looking like a real contender in the east, all while coming off the bench. They are tied with Boston (who the just beat the other day) for #3 with a record of 30 – 16 and  six games behind the Cavs for the #1. He has really made this a strong team in the east this year.

Kobe_BryantKobe Bryant image has bounced back and in a major way since his 2003 sexual assault scandal. Because of this alleged incident Bryant lost millions in major endorsements including Nike, Spalding, and Coca-Cola, his image as the clean cut role model for the NBA was destroyed, and he became the subject of ridicule concerning the stereo types of star athletes.

Fast forward to today having the case behind him (which he was cleared of all charges), a championship ring, MVP award, and gold medal, Kobe’s image is right back where it left off per scandal and probably more favorable now than before; being that the general public view him as being real.

We’ve seen him go up, then down, then persevere and come back up again all while facing his problem in full view of public scrutiny. Kobe has overcame a lot in the years since the famous scandal, all while remaining a winner on the court; which I think helped in people moving past the whole thing and re-embracing him. All of his sponsors have renewed there contracts with him since the close of the case, and in 2010 Nike will be launching a Kobe brand. So props to Kobe for not folding under the pressure and continuing to be a winner. He has the perfect perseverance story indeed.
