Video: Kobe Bryant Accused of Injuring Man at Church over Cell Phone Pics (http://bit.ly/pYLADD)


[QUOTE] Bryant allegedly grabbed a man

[GreatGreg]

Looks like Kobe was trying to be funny and it backfired. Sucks for him, but everyone knows he didn't mean to injure him.

[KingBeasley08]

classic dbag kobe :roll:

[Skywalker]

this reminds me of when KG threw the ball in the crowd and the man acted like he just got KTFO by anderson silva and left on a stretcher

[Peteballa]

If LeBron did this the media / ISH would have a field day... That said, who cares. Things like this probably happen with athletes all of the time.

[BEAST Griffin]

Church...Kobe...assault....

I had something else in mind before I clicked the link

Are you living in your own mind? What are you even talking about?

:roll:
I totally misread that. What I thought I read was Kobe grabbed someone's phone to try to take a picture, realized that he couldn't, and gave the phone back.

:roll: @ me.

[Mrofir]

hahaha kobe that's too witty, injuring someone


simply brilliant sense of humor

Haha. That scenario would have been even better.

Plus I love the picture that story used.

if this guy even gets a penny from kobe.... :facepalm

Meh, he is just trying to protect himself and his family. No need for this to be breaking news or anything. This is something that just belongs in the Lakers forum.

I respect Kobe for this.

I think everyone is overreacting.

[KingLeBronJames]

Why take picture of Kobe while he was with his family at church. Even without asking. That's disrespectful. LOL at he had a wrist injury.

[kkling]

Kind of amusing to see people defend this.

"but returned the phone after discovering there were no pictures."

Are people missing this point?

[KingMichael23]

That dude is trying to make a quick buck. :no:

[bingo123]

Is Kobe paranoic? But it will cost him some money. He cant grab someone and take his phone just because he thought he was taking pictures of him and his family.

I wish Lebron would do the same exact thing next monday. ISH would be shut down for at least one hour.

[The Ownage]

I'm pretty sure none of y'all have checked out the website lol

[pegasus]

If LeBron did this the media / ISH would have a field day... That said, who cares. Things like this probably happen with athletes all of the time.

Yep, that's why Kobe was fined $100,000 for using the other f-word, whereas Lebron's "She's retarded" comment in the press conference was swept under the rug.

Plus, this is bogus news.

Protecting his family... from what? A fan taking a cell phone picture? It wasn't as if he was a member of the paparazzi hounding them and putting his kids and wives life in jeopardy by chasing after them in a car. Kobe Bryant has entire staffs of photographers snapping shots of him almost daily and for whatever reason he chooses to blow up on a guy taking a cell phone picture?

I don't get how somebody could defend it. I don't particularly think what he did was THAT big of a deal but it was also pretty stupid of him. Not to mention altogether pointless. Sounds like he was just having a shitty day and lashed out. He must have caught one of those Mavericks 2010-2011 season retrospective DVD commercials before he left the house or something.

Definitely not comparable and that was pretty much established in consensus when the 'retarded' thing happened.

[thejumpa]

Kobe being Kobe. I'm not surprised at all. It's pretty dumb and pointless though. The guy was trying to snap a pic of you in a church...not while you're in the bathroom on the toilet. I'd damn near slap him if he grabbed my wrist/camera.

[jlip]

Man...This is a slow offseason.

[Mr. Jabbar]

innocent.

pd: i wouldn't wash my wrist for a year

[InspiredLebowski]

Good for Kobe. Church is, well should be, one of the few places he doesn't have to worry about being a celebrity and is afforded his privacy.

[d.bball.guy]

That guy must be a LeBron fan.:D

[thatoneblackguy]

What would you do if some random guy took a picture of you and your family?

Especially at a church.

also, smh at the title "Kobe Bryant Accused of Assaulting Man at Church For Taking Pics of Him" - perfect title for Kobe haters to drool over. "Ow my wrist im going to the hospital" what a joke, money hungry slave.

[Scholar]

That dude is trying to make a quick buck. :no:

I'm pretty ****ing sure that anyone in this dude's place would do the same thing. Kobe had no right to grab the dude's phone in the first place. Last time I checked, church is public; therefore, someone taking Kobe's pics shouldn't be a surprise. Why go out in PUBLIC if you can't handle fans wanting photos and autographs of you?
I'm a Kobe Bryant fan and this altercation hasn't changed my opinion of him, but if he were to even slightly poke me with a finger, I'd sue. LOL
























Okay, maybe I wouldn't sue him over something like that, but in the churchgoer's place? Hell yes.

Kobe spent $3 mill on a ring for his wife. I bet he could give me a mill without it being a big deal. Haha

[AMISTILLILL]

What would you do if some random guy took a picture of you and your family?

I'm not Kobe Bryant. If someone is taking pictures of me and my family they likely have a lot less genuine reasons for doing so than somebody who just wants to tweet a pic of their favorite basketball player.

Let's not forget that it turned out the dude didn't even take a pic. :confusedshrug:





Again, before anyone jumps to any conclusions, I am a Kobe Bryant fan, but put me in the other dude's shoes, I'd be trying to get some money out of Kobe, too. :lol

ThatOneAfricanAmericanGuy, would you have "popped a cap in his ass"?

[All Net]

That guy needs to man up....geesh

[ihatetimthomas]

I think its lame the guys is claiming he injured his wrist, but Kobe has got to be smarter than this. This is the life of a superstar. It seems many superstars love to have the perks that come with that life but hate the negative that comes. I understand that sometimes he may want to have a normal outing with no one hounding him but I got news for ya, thats the life you live.

[Jameerthefear]

What do ya mean? This is the first time I've heard about this. I don't think anyone's overreacting.

[Dizzle-2k7]

mad respect to Kobe on this. If im at church with my family on a nice sunday morning you best believe im snatching someones phone if they are taking pictures of me and my family at CHURCH.

kobe shoulda broke his arm.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Being famous has its drawbacks for sure. Kobe should've thought twice before even going to public with his family. It's just something all celebs learn to get used to. I don't blame Kobe though, I'd be pissed too if random people try taking a picture of me while I'm busy.

I doubt Kobe actually broke his wrist though. But as an average joe, you'll want to milk out every possible penny from them every chance you get.

[LBJFTW]

I love how these dumb-asses try and disrespectfully take a picture of a famous person and then when asked nicely for the camera and still refuse to give it up, they get it taken away forcefully, fake an injury, and then try and sue.

A few years later, said idiot winds up missing and is pictured on the back of a milk carton. Honestly how can these people be this ****ing stupid to piss of those with so much money such that they can have you erased off the map, with no traces leading back to them. I'ts a tough lesson to learn, but maybe when more and more of these instances are brought to light, people will stop being so sue happy over nothing and think before they act upon their lawyer's I'll advise. The lawyer doesn't give a shit if you wind up dead, he just want's his cut. Darwinism at it's finest.

Have you lost your mind? Kobe is just trying to protect his family from cold blooded rapists and murderers.

U mad cause he is a champion?????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????

only 10 % would have the courage to stand up for justice doe. Kobe risked his life in order to protect his little ones. He wouldve died if he had to.

Great point. No one is perfect and it simply gets tiring when these athletes have to go everywhere and be the center of attention. Im a religious guy and when I go to church, I go for one thing, to focus on God, or to pray.

Kobe should not have done what he did, but he did, and now has to probably take the consequences directly from his wallet. If this fan was trying to take a picture, he could have waited until the service was finished to ask Kobe "can I take a pic of you" or "with you".

I Did NOT Fight in Church
Kobe Bryant is finally responding to allegations he scrapped in church last Sunday -- and says his accuser is flat out lying.

Kobe's attorney Mark Campbell says the Los Angeles Lakers superstar is "aware of the baseless allegations asserted against him, and is prepared to defend against them fully."

Kobe attended a church in Carmel Valley, CA on Sunday ... and allegedly grabbed a cell phone from a man he thought was trying to take photos of him and his family. The man reportedly claims his wrist was injured.

Campbell identified Kobe's accuser as Thomas Hagos.

San Diego police tell TMZ they want to question Hagos about the alleged incident before they decide if they need to talk to Kobe.

[DuMa]

mad respect to Kobe on this. If im at church with my family on a nice sunday morning you best believe im snatching someones phone if they are taking pictures of me and my family at CHURCH.

kobe shoulda broke his arm.

theres no evidence that he was taking pics of his family. if you read the news story correctly, and i somehow doubt you did, you wouldve read that kobe found no pictures in the cell phone of his family. and thus was wrong about the situation.

[kkling]

These people will really miss Kobe when he does actually retire

Lebron threads will triple.

'A' typical hate crime in the hood church ....

Kobe needing to get back cred after Utah , to be the ganster Player he was after that incident.

Problem is wrist breaking isn't = to ankle breaking :oldlol:

Exactly, and people only care because its Kobe. I bet the guy wasn't even really injured. Sounds like a media interjection to me.

[purplch0de]

i am sure there are witnesses so this will most likely be thrown out due to lack of evidence before it even makes it to court.

[Nick Young]

No no, it was no assault.

Bad call by the cops. Same like during games, Kobe is always getting the bad calls.

Everyone knows bad officiating has cost Kobe 15/8/7 per game throughout his career.
:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[the_wise_one]

Damn that Kobe, assaulting someone in God's house.

He is truly the great satan.

[Chaddai]

According to the news, Kobe checked his phone and there were no pictures. If Kobe is convicted, there is a possibility he might get a felony. Floyd Mayweather (a boxer) got a felony theft for taking his girlfriend's phone just so you guys know.
