    It would have been interesting to see how that would have played out: the Irresistible Force or the Immovable Object.

    Kobe = Irresistible Force to win
    Clippers = Immovable Object doomed to forever Clip

    Kobe hated losing. He would have demanded the slips spend for better players. Sterling was too cheap to do that, so Kobe would have eventually walked.

    ...and found his way to the purple and gold, making everything the way it was meant to be.

    Maybe the amount of money she wants or is expecting a jury to award is so great, and maybe (have no idea) she has rejected a proposed out of court settlement (?) so now it’s hardball time?

    Any word on Kobe's shoe line? He's no longer with Nike, last I heard Vanessa is going to take his brand and do something herself with it.

    No offense to anyone but when you screw something up like this and kill someone who is at the beginning of a long post pro ball career, it should cost you a lot. Everyone involved messed up. I imagine it cost Kobe's family a billion dollars.

    This isn’t against the copter company, it’s the sheriff’s dept (?) and LA County for the actions of the cretins who took the photos at the site and were spotted later showing them around. Undisclosed amount of money for the severe emotional distress caused by knowing this happened. But now they’re going to claim they were never made public and she never saw them and they want a psychological evaluation. As mentioned am just guessing they likely tried to settle but wasn’t accepted so now going to fight against the suit and claims of how much distress.

    Oh, well, they screwed up too. Not sure how much it is worth, let the lawyers decide.

    Still hurts. Still hurts a lot. Coke just bought Body Armor at 8:24am today for 5.6 Billion, making Kobe's family 400 million dollars. Kobe would have been the second billionaire in sports with Jordan.

    Not that I thought any judge would go along with this, still good to see them put an end to that asinine, heartless request...
