The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

Sorry, I should have posted this part and the fact the case was settled out of court for an estimated 2.5 mil. I just think everyone can draw their own conclusion if they research the facts and aren't influenced by my opinion or that of others. If he truly felt innocent I believe no money would have been paid out.
From Wikipedia: "Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter."
This leads me to believe she said no and his opinion was she still wanted it. To myself or anyone without the means Kobe had, this is tried and prosecuted as rape.

I was a fan of Kobe and at the time read other articles that swing my opinion to that of this being a sexual assault at the least and probably meeting the criteria of rape.
Based on that quote alone means that Kobe at the very very least committed sexual assault. His statement where he says "She did not consent to this encounter" is essentially a confession to rape. There are very few other ways to read that and he wouldn't have said that specifically, in my opinion, if it had not been a condition of the settlement. No one would ever say that.
 
Luka is the perfect star to put along side Gobert. That tandem is a nightmare. As of now Dallas has quite a few bench players starting. Otherwise Luka and company is winning the west. He’s unbelievable.
 
Anything that hasn't been done before is equally as incredible as anything else that hasn't been done before?
Given similar context, yes.

Would probably give the nod to Luka's performance as every player has an opportunity to do that in a given game vs only a select few games being that exact point/time scenario.
