What does LIONIZED mean? Is that something that is positive from Kobe's perspective or negative from Kobe's perspective.

I feel like Kobe's reputation is fantastic. Everyone seems to love him. Despite the accusation against him. (I dont think he was convicted iirc and maybe thats why the incident didn't hurt his reptutation. Or maybe its just the fact that he died that has everyone loving him and thinking positively about him. IDK)

Lionized means that he is literally a basketball God on Earth as far as the media is concerned. Let's be clear, if he was a player of Bridges' stature and didn't play for the Lakers, things would have turned out differently for him.

So he tried to kill her and they plead it down to felony assault with a no contest plea. I ****ing hate that whole thing where they can get a minor sentence for a lesser offense just because they agree to plead guilty instead of going to trial.

Also wasn't a conviction right? (i dont think there was but cant remember)

Im not exactly sure how im supposed to think about someone who is accused of something but not convicted. I can imagine a scenario where someone wants to get rich and makes an accusation about a rich person in the hopes that they get paid off as a result of the accusation.
I have no idea what actually happened in the kobe scenario.

The bridges scenario I at least know a good portion of what happened. I still dont know what led to/provoked the assault but I do know that the assault occurred. I feel confident in saying that Bridges is a big old douchebag.

I'd encourage you to do a little research on the subject with Kobe fish. Read what he admitted to and what conclusions were drawn then make a judgement. If the altercation happened today rather than when it did I feel certain there would have been a different outcome.
 
And I agree with the consensus that Bridges shouldn't be allowed back in the NBA. He should serve time and do some intensive anger management courses. I seriously doubt his wife will ever fully recover emotionally even if she does physically.

This is what the google replied with: He admitted to having an adulterous sexual encounter with her but insisted it was consensual.

I dont know if that means he is a rapist or not. Adulterer and rapist have a wide gap between them imo. He of course could totally be lying but i have no way to know that.
